The Greatest Unlearns of 2024
As a former trader, hosting The Great Unlearn has been a deeply healing way to navigate life beyond a career that, while outwardly successful, became a significant part of my identity. This journey has led me to explore new ways of being through plant medicines, unlearning patterns that limit growth, cultivating deeper presence, and practicing tools for more meaningful relationships — and everything in between. Thank you all for being part of this ongoing exploration. Looking forward to expanding and diving even deeper with The Great Unlearn this year.[1:58] Ep 129.

We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story. On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.
