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 b******t. 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.

The Great Unlearn podcast is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon and it has quickly become my favorite podcast. Hosted by Cal, this podcast offers deep, thought-provoking conversations with a wide range of guests who explore topics such as vulnerability, relationships, belief systems, plant medicines, and so much more. From the moment I started listening, I knew that this podcast was speaking to my spirit. Cal does an incredible job of creating a grounded space for authentic conversations to unfold. The interviews are always personal and inspiring, leaving me wanting more at the end of each episode. It is refreshing to hear from men who are on their healing journey and striving to be the best versions of themselves in order to support others.
One of the best aspects of The Great Unlearn is the authenticity that both Cal and his guests bring to every episode. Each conversation feels real and genuine, creating a space for vulnerability and growth. Cal's curiosity shines through in his thoughtful questions, allowing his guests to share their wisdom and experiences in a meaningful way. The podcast covers a wide range of topics that cater to personal growth and expanding one's mind. Whether it's exploring belief systems or discussing paranormal activity, there is something for everyone seeking deeper understanding.
While it is difficult to find any flaws with The Great Unlearn, one aspect that could be improved upon is the frequency of episodes. As a dedicated listener, I often find myself eagerly waiting for new episodes to be released. However, given the quality and depth of each conversation, I can understand why they might take time to produce.
In conclusion, The Great Unlearn is an exceptional podcast that invites listeners to rethink everything and expand their minds. Cal creates a space where authenticity thrives and meaningful conversations happen. This podcast has been instrumental in my own journey towards living a more intentional life and being the best version of myself. I highly recommend dedicating time to listen to this podcast; it is a transformative experience. Thank you, Cal, for creating such a powerful and inspiring space.

In my first ever interview-style solocast, my dear brother Ty Ward architects the flow beautifully to pull through the threads of my last 3 years in “the tunnel”. During this period of time, I was trudging through my dark night of the soul. Our family unit was working through challenges, finances were feeling rockier than I'm comfortable with, and my resistance to being with stillness and uncertainty became so loud, yet I powered through — at the expense of my health and relationships — like I have been “comfortably” doing for most of my life.Now, on the other side of my tunnel phase, I felt the call to share my experience from this season and what it felt like within my relationship to self and those closest to me, the ways I tried so hard to escape it all, and what ultimately allowed for me to sink into the messages that I was meant to tune into.In this solocast, I share...➝ My addiction to being busy, escaping stillness.➝ Family and financial challenges / reorientation.➝ What helped to create awareness around my avoidant patterns.➝ The tools and habits that moved me through my tunnel period.➝ Unblocking a new level of intimacy within my marriage.REFERENCEDThe Amazing Development of Men by Alison Armstrong: https://amzn.to/3TOTU7SAdyashanti: https://adyashanti.opengatesangha.orgBeck Change Cycle: https://marthabeck.com/change/Boyd Varty: https://boydvarty.comSalim Najjar: https://www.instagram.com/thathrvguy/Dan Martell on TGU: https://bit.ly/tguapplemartellCONNECT WITH CALInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cal.callahan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegreatunlearnYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/thegreatunlearn/Website: https://www.thegreatunlearn.comSubscribe to the newsletter: https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletterThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
