For men, many of us were raised with the rule “if we’re struggling, don’t talk about it”. This is what had Connor Beaton hitting rock bottom and eventually, opening his eyes and heart to the importance of having the support to express his emotions. Harboring such subtle and heavy emotions, with no outlet or invitation to express them healthily, led Connor to expressing shame in the forms of substance abuse, addictions, dysfunctional relationship dynamics and living out of his car.Connor dives into his story and how he healed to where he is now — a supportive and committed father, husband and men’s training facilitator. He knew that if his life were to shift the first thing that needed to be looked at was himself.Connor and I dive into…How he shifted from addictions, troubled relationships, damaging self-talkHealthy ways to pivotally express anger and how this can benefit everyone involvedHow putting people on pedestals doesn’t allow for a genuine or sustainable connectionTransforming the “suppression equals strength” mentalityThe importance of modeling a healed masculine to our childrenConnect with ConnorWebsite: connorbeaton.comInstagram: instagram.com/mantalksMen’s Work: A Practical Guide to Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, and Find Freedom: mantalks.com/mens-work-bookManTalks podcast: mantalks.com/podcastTrainings for Men: mantalks.com/trainingConnect with CalShop TGU Gear: thegreatunlearn.com/shoptguInstagram: instagram.com/cal.callahanYouTube: youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearnFacebook: facebook.com/thegreatunlearnWebsite: thegreatunlearn.comSubscribe to the newsletter: thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

Jason Pickard is a fellow ex-trader on Wall Street and, similar to my story, shifting from that identity was a tough transition for him—leaving him with “What’s left of me? What am I now?” Hear more of his story and how he radically transformed every aspect of his life on our previous episode together, Episode 97Today, we catch up on his latest creation, The Abundance Archetype course—an 8 week course for the investor who wants to embrace overflowing abundance in every aspect of their life. This offering hits home with me because learning to love “Trader Cal” was a journey, a part of myself that I eventually would realize holds many gifts and much wiser than I previously thought him to be. With this course, Jason found a way to weave his genius of trading with the beauty of personal development.Jason and I dive into...What it means to be an infinite player in lifeHow his course teaches us to embody the abundant archetypeWhat helped him release 100+ pounds and revive his health physically, mentally, and spirituallyWays to implement and integrate new conceptsUtilizing our different identities and versions of self, rather than shame and abandon themHarnessing and respecting the laws of polarity allows us to move through life with more graceReferencedFinite and Infinite GamesEpisode 97 with JasonConnect with JasonWebsite: jasonpickard.orgInstagram: instagram.com/jasonpickardofficialConnect with CalShop TGU Gear: thegreatunlearn.com/shoptguInstagram: instagram.com/cal.callahanYouTube: youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearnFacebook: facebook.com/thegreatunlearnWebsite: thegreatunlearn.comSubscribe to the newsletter: thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
