The Great Unlearn

169

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.

    Cal Yeah ⚡️
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of years. Love and appreciate Cal’s presence, enthusiasm, and passion — not just for those he interviews, but for life and the ever unfolding journey of unlearning.

    Guided here by an intuitive ping after Mark England posted that he just finished recording an ep and so glad I followed the nudge! Only listened to the Godsey ep so far and can already tell this will be my top fav podcast moving forward! Thank you for creating this space, brother! Much respect!!

    This guy is an ALL STAR!
    Began listening to Cal’s podcast at the beginning of the pandemic. He just spoke to me. Resonated on EVERY level. So REAL. Highly recommend allocating some time to tuning in to his medicine being shared. ENJOY! 🧡🙏🏽

    Grounded in Truth
    The minute I started listening to this podcast I knew this was speaking to my spirit. Cal does an excellent job of not only bringing on amazing authentic beings, but he himself creates a grounded space to express that authenticity. Each interview is always deep and personal and always has me listening to the end wanting more. It's also incredibly inspiring to hear from men that are apart of the healing journey. And I know I want to be around men like that, who striving to be the best they can be so that they can be there for others. I say this now, I don't know when it will happen, but I truly believe I will meet you someday Cal. You are so inspiring and have been helping me (with your podcast) be the best authentic man I can be.

    Healthy Masculinity!
    The Great Unlearn invites listeners to rethink EVERYTHING! Cal and his guests teach through example as they explore vulnerability, relationships, parenting, belief systems, plant medicines, paranormal activity, aliens- anything! I highly recommend this podcast for anyone seeking personal growth and to expand their mind! Thanks Cal!

    Curiosity met with truth
    I just love this podcast. I love how specific and deep and tough Cal’s interviews can get. It’s awesome to listen to how he and his guests hold space for one another while truths and realizations come to light. And Cal’s laugh is probably my favorite part lol
  • melonkneeanne
    So good.
    Cal has such a curious and thoughtful spirit, and it shows!! His authenticity is apparent, and everything he shares about on this show is something new.

    Exactly What Society Needs
    I’ve been extremely fortunate in my life to have learned how to code at a very young age (12 years old). Perhaps because of adopting these skills early on, I’ve been predisposed to focusing on HOW to think… not what to think. All too often, what we see nowadays is people digging in & defending WHAT they’ve been told to believe, and not thinking as much for ourselves. Cal’s podcast is exactly what the world needs right now.

    Time to Unlearn!

    A True Gift to the World
    Every single episode I listen to leaves me inspired to live a more expanded life. Cal has a way of asking the questions that lead to a heart-centered, inspired and expanded conversation that I have not heard on any other podcast.

    Unlearning and relearning!
    On a journey to living a more intentional and purpose driven life, this podcast is so perfect. I find myself questioning if the most ingrained patterns and listening to the show is such a breath of fresh air!
  • MrsVeeDubs
    Makes you think!
    The conversation with David Martin was the best podcast of 2021!
  • keresey
    Insightful & relevant conversations
    I began listening to this podcast only a few weeks ago, and I am grateful I have come across its content. Conversations feel relevant and touch on a lot of the things that I believe most of us are questioning. I really appreciate Cal’s approach and way of asking questions from a deep sense of almost child like curiosity. Definitely worth the time investment to listen.
  • The Nathan Ruff
    Amazing Guest List
    Solid show with truly amazing/highly interesting guests.

    Cal is changing the game with bold, thought-provoking content. Bravely, he questions it all and in the process shares loads of wisdom and practical tips on ways to live healthier, happier and stronger more service-driven lives. Give a listen! Highly recommended.
  • Laura Holloway
    Grateful for this podcast
    I so relate to Cals journey of unlearning. For years I acheived to prove my worthiness. This podcast has given me so much permission to JUST BE. The inspiration, hacks, and deep heart felt conversations are so in alignment with my journey of releasing the grip, learning to receive, and understanding there is a new way and it's okay.
  • Rising Alpha
    Game changer
    Listen to this podcast..tell your friends to listen to this podcast. The Great Unlearn is a complete game changer. Cal speaks from the heart, makes you challenge how you view the world and is so vulnerable as he inspires and educates. Cal is a gifted speaker and does an unbelievable job interviewing intriguing guests. He certainly inspired me to be more raw and authentic on my own podcast. Thank you Cal.

    Unlearning for life!
    I am in the constant process of unlearning, undoing, and reprogramming what I have picked up in my almost 40 years on earth. From what we are taught to how we live to how we move to how we breathe or how we even parent, I am in a new place of allowing and undoing all the conditioning I’ve picked up. This podcast is a perfect complement to how we should all approach the lens of life.
  • ohdeerpeyton
    Engaging

    Though Provoking!
    I have been loving The Great Unlearn! Cal has a phenomenal way of presenting ideas and asking the right questions that lend themselves to amazing conversations.
  • drives business
    Great!
    I love listening to Cal and TGUL. He is so on point and brings relevant conversations to the forefront. It’s almost like this podcast is exactly what we needed in these challenging times. I shared the podcast with my Dad that discussed Racism and it was an excellent bridge to having a meaningful conversation about something that we have never discussed. Can’t wait to see what topics are next.
  • 'NextJen' Ismar
    One of my fav's!
    With so many podcast's to listen to these days, I look for the ones that really speak to my soul. That have a message that inspires me and motivates me to keep doing the work. Cal is such a genuine person and his desire to serve really comes thru in his in-depth conversations. I have loved all the guests he shares and find the information delivered to be super valuable. It's one of my "must listen's"!
  • B-Muscle
    Enriching & Engaging
    Like Bob Marley said "Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you are living?" Cal dives in and you’ll find yourself close behind...
  • Nwaggs13
    What a podcast
    Cal has opened up a world where tribe and vulnerability take precedent over being “a man” and holding all the answers. This podcast has pushed me to take a deeper dive into why I respond the way I do and how I can change to not only better my relationship with the people I love, but also with myself. Much love Cal!
  • Sean Coles

If you’re looking for a humble, inspiring host, something to hold on to and motivate you forward on your path, please look no further.

    Finding Peace Through Unlearning
    So much of my journey has been about unlearning a lifetime of habits, practices and beliefs. Family of origin narratives, heartbreaks, and a skewed view of self are just a few of the inputs that have limited my life and self-acceptance. Cal and his guests have been helpful guides for the continued process of unlearning so many wrong messages. On top of the valuable input found here, Cal is a good man who I love and trust. He’s living it all in his own life and journey, which helps me trust him to be a guide on mine.
  • fillymarcus
    You won’t regret listening
    Cal is one of the easiest people to trust I’ve ever met. He simply seems to set his agenda aside and allows his guests and others around him to speak their truth. He is skilled at bringing the real and authentic to the surface and helping us truly see what we are looking for.
  • Spencer Vincent
    Soul-Opening
    Cal has quickly inserted himself and his guests into my weekly rotation of listens. While I might listen to other podcast for pleasure I listen to Cal’s to be reminded of my soul. It’s hard to describe but the depth with which Cal dives with his guests, especially those he’s close with, ignites the vulnerability we all have hidden behind our armor we walk around with. I’d recommend that like a piece of chocolate and a glass of wine Cal’s podcast are best consumed at a leisurely pace. There’s no need to rush through these podcasts and I’ve even found myself going back to listen to them a second time when I feel as though I’ve lost my track. Congrats Cal, and thank you for providing us with these reminders that things aren’t always as they seem.

    TGU is changing the game
    Cal is showing men how to peel off the armor and the magic that happens when they do. Quickly has become a must listen in my rotation.

    Incredible Guests, Deep Conversations
    This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Cal’s thoughtful questions and warm energy allow for openness and vulnerability from the guests. The result… deep and engaging conversations that you won’t want to end. Cal’s also just a great dude!
  • tylerwardis
    Family-man, Successful & Psychedelic-lover?!
    Cal is everything you want in a friend, especially if waking up to wanting more of life beyond typical success! He has a great blend of guests between the uber-successful and the spiritual practitioners. And somehow I feel like I can relate to either end of that spectrum because of Cal's comfort and curiousity with both. VERY MUCH recommended!
  • rabidlegion
    I wish my dad would have had this podcast to listen to ...
    This podcast is a great resource for anyone who has experienced stress due to the “rat race” and is curious about alternatives. The way Cal shares how he gives himself the opportunity to experience free will is so inspiring, fun and lighthearted. This podcast has opened my eyes to a new way to think about achievement, expectations, family dynamics ... Personally I have had a challenging relationship with my father, listening to Cals stories about parenting have been so healing. Thanks Cal!
  • jakefulkk
    Great leader!

  • Brandon James Duncan
    Powerful and Relevant
    Cal has done a terrific job of curating powerful and relevant conversations with vulnerability, rawness and authenticity for the things we are collectively experience as a human race. His guests bring insightful perspective and openness, and Cal brings unmatched value with a podcast that is growing to become one of the best in an ever-crowded space.
  • KelliMTennant
    INCREDIBLE.
    Every conversation Cal has is so thoughtful and timely. I resonated so deeply with his show with his wife Peyton and the way they’ve created space to allow themselves to evolve and renew separately and together. At a time when the world feels so painful, it’s so necessary to have a raw and vulnerable male voice who is willing to get into the depths of healing. Thank you Cal ✨
  • RaleighRex
    What is CAL’s gift?
    CAL’s gift is he’s allowing his vulnerability to allow all of who listen to accept their own vulnerabilities. This podcast is a must listen!!!
  • Anahata Ananda
