Hi Friend, Last summer, the family was off doing their own thing, and I found myself at home alone with three hairy and very barky friends. I didn't feel obligated to participate in what they were doing. In truth, I wasn't invited. That allowed me to be alone without pressures, family responsibilities, email, calendars, or other distractions - all guilt-free.But I wasn't alone. I was in solitude. Glorious solitude. This solitude allowed me the space to think and do what I wanted needed. I chose a stack of books, a run or two, and no small amount of just sitting. “When one is connected to one's own core is when one is connected to others, I am beginning to discover. And for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be found through solitude." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the SeaThe idea of solitude is not novel. Anne Lindberg purposefully put herself in solitude when she wrote Gift From The Sea. Pablo Picasso also believed in solitude. He said it best, “Without great solitude, no serious work is possible” - Pablo PicassoAnd just yesterday, from sent me a clipping from a magazine with this from Lady Gaga,“I'm interested in living more of a life of solitude. It's nice to have time to be alone, and be expansive, and know you are enough. I wish I could tell my younger self that.” - Lady GagaThere is a privilege in this exercise. Lady Gaga has problems you and I don't (be thankful). Bill Gates is in rarified air with his quarterly trip to a cabin on the lake with a stack of books. Obviously, very few can do that. If we leave it at that, we would be making an excuse for inaction. There is no reason you can't find an hour alone without distractions and a notebook. It might mean you get up a little earlier, go to bed a little later, or have a conversation with your humans, telling them what you need. You and I have, if we are lucky, 30,000 sunrises. After we get our eight hours of sleep ;), we have 1,000 minutes every day. If we let it, all those minutes will fill up with a barrage of distractions. Once your eyes open, our phones, humans, and monkey minds start. We have to make space. Space for thought, deep work, and for ourselves. "In complete solitude, I stop objectifying myself. In the bush I don't think of myself on some social hierarchy. I don't define my value as a comparison with others. The birds and animals don't judge me. It's a kind of healing in which I become human again. In complete solitude, we are not a concept of ourselves; we are ourselves." -Boyd Varty, The Lion Tracker's Guide to LifeSolitude allows us time to reflect on what is important, gain perspective, and respond to the world. In solitude, you have space to consider how to respond while everyone else is busy reacting. I'll leave you with this, again from Anne Lindbergh. "I must find a balance somewhere, or an alternating rhythm between these two extremes; a swinging of the pendulum between solitude and communion, between retreat and return. In my periods of retreat, perhaps I can learn something to carry back into my worldly life." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the SeaYou might not be able to carve a week away at a lakeside cabin, but can you find an hour over the next week to spend with yourself in solitude? Nothing electronic. Just you, a notebook, and your thoughts (as scary as that might be). Be gentle with yourself. We are all a work in progress.

In this episode of the Align Podcast, Boyd tells us how African safaris can relate to the journey into our own lives. He also emphasizes how important it is to connect with nature for our personal well-being, especially in a world where technology is dehumanizing us on many levels. Boyd shares his personal experience with trauma and how he embarked on a healing journey through transformational practices and doing the work. Join us as we discuss what it means to be human, how to live towards the feeling and giving into the idea of "I don't know”. Boyd Varty is the author of two books, The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life and his memoir, Cathedral of the Wild. He has been featured in The New York Times, on NBC, and in other media and has taught his philosophy of “tracking your life” to individuals and companies around the world. Boyd is a wildlife and literacy activist who has spent the last ten years refining the art of using wilderness as a place for deep introspection and personal transformation. He grew up in South Africa on Londolozi Game Reserve, a former hunting ground that was transformed into a nature preserve by Boyd's father and uncle—both visionaries of the restoration movement. Under his family's stewardship, the Reserve became renowned not only as a sanctuary for animals but as a place where once-ravaged land was able to flourish again and where the human spirit could be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he went to Londolozi to recover. Boyd has a degree in psychology from the University of South Africa.

“Living Outside The Deceptions of the Modern Life”

Coffee and A Lion Tracker's Guide to Life is how I started 2023. This was my second time through this little gem of pithy prose. The PremiseBoyd Varty grew up on a game preserve in South Africa. His grandfather converted a bankrupt cattle ranch into a lion-hunting enterprise. Spoiler alert: the lions were eating the cattle. His father would do the right thing and bring it back to its natural state and a safari operation. Boyd would learn the art of tracking here.Boyd brings a refreshing look at life through the eyes of a tracker. Interlaced with the culture of the Shangaan, Boyd takes us through a day tracking a lion. His two mentors, Alex and Ren, provide context, wisdom, and a view of life through two men deeply connected to nature. For the metaphors, I'll keep coming back to this one. Excerpts like this that make it worth it:“Ren lives outside the deceptions of modern life. Its structured psychological outlook has not affected him, and I know that he is a living clue to a different way of being. He doesn't concern himself with the attainment of status or wealth. He doesn't worry about his security in the future or his position within a social group. He doesn't talk about politics or worry that he isn't doing enough. To him, time is not money. Productivity is not a reflection of his value. He considers treadmills ridiculous. When it's time to work, he works. When it's time to rest, he rests.”It's short, only 90 pages. A lifetime of advice in its brevity, like this: “Track what makes you feel good and bring more of it into your life. Notice what makes you feel lousy and do less of it.”More of my Favorites“I tend to just accept what I see. Ren always looks closer, he always asks why. He has a gift for examining the wallpaper of life.”Why do the elephants eat in the morning? The answer is simple, but that's not the entire answer. Boyd accepts the first answer while Ren, his mentor, keeps asking why. There is more than what we see on the surface. "You can't think your way to a calling. Finding what is uniquely yours requires more than rationality."This stings a little. For rationality, what are we talking about? The rationality of comparison? What did your parents want? What society tells you is right? What role do you think you play for others? You won't find your calling in a pro/con list. It's emotional, not logical."We live with our attention directed outward. We focus on the social cues of our culture. We look to others to define our path and value, and purpose. We lose ourselves in shoulds."I talked about warriors and how they look in. Boyd is saying the same. Don't look to society to define your path. If you do, you might find yourself walking down the wrong path. Don't forget: just because you can win the game doesn't mean you should play. "We must learn to read the subtle tracks of the body, the way it relaxes and opens when something feels right, the contraction and tightness when we are not where we are meant to be."Perhaps my favorite, I feel this deeply. You know when something feels right and when it doesn't. How often do we not listen to our bodies while our minds are wrapped up in rationalizations? Or fear? Or competition? "I don't know where I'm going, but I know exactly how to get there, whispers the wild self. Learn to be natural."Instinct gets us to our feet. As toddlers, we stumble around exploring while our dotting parents, if lucky, keep an eye out. Our days are filled with eating, napping, and - well, the rest. Our early time at school let us finger-paint our joyful hearts away. We do what feels right, and at some point, the natural path gets supplanted by something else. Maybe there is a way to find our way back to finger painting, kindness, and homemade cookies. "I remain deeply convinced that a person who tracks down an authentic life opens up possibilities for themselves, their family, and their larger community. In these times, as the planet screams at us to reimagine our way of life, these new possibilities are deeply important."Maybe this is what matters. What would the world be like if all 8 billion of us could do what we are best in the world at and love? Easy for me to say as I sit in this fancy chair with all my privilege. There is work I have to do to track down the authentic me. I'm incredibly lucky I can even consider this, and as such, don't I have an obligation to act? Why I Love It? The sketches, prose, and being easily consumable make it one of my favorites. Boyd's writing is punchy but beautiful at the right moments - like nature in that way. I felt like I was hiding behind the tree with Boyd, Alex, and Ren as the bull elephant charged the air around us with his presence. "We must leave the safety of the village and venture out onto the trail of something wild and uncertain and as yet undefined. We must live on that trail, propelled forward by a set of clues only you will recognize by the aliveness they bring out in you. You must teach yourself to see your track.”You won't find the tracks sitting at home, and sometimes you will lose the track. When that happens, return to the last track. Begin again. Losing the track is often more important. Take care, friends. This is a public episode.

Better Today Than Yesterday (BTTY) Podcast

Humans began sharing written words 3,500 years ago. Circa 100 BC, the first ‘books' show up but on different sides of our little blue ball.They were rolled bamboo held together with silk, hemp, or leather in China. This was also when, during the Tang dynasty, that woodblock printing was created. Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean, the Romans are binding vellum (made of animal skin) between wooden covers. Fast forward another 1,500 years, in 1439, and Johannes Gutenberg invents the printing press. That story may be familiar to those in the west, but what I didn't know was that 200 years prior, the first metal movable type was invented in what is now Korea. This would predate the printing press by more than 50 years, and the first book produced using this technology was Jikji in 1377 AD.The 1800s saw the addition of the book cover or dust jacket. Cloth, being more durable than paper, was often used as an inexpensive substitute for leather. In 1834, Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovers Chlorine, and before long, we had white paper.When pages started turning white, only 12% of the world could read. Over the next 200 years literacy would expand and by 2016 84% of those over 15 years old would be literate. That is a staggering amount of progress. That said, massive inequalities remain today, with countries like Burkina Faso, Niger, and South Sudan still below a 30% literacy rate.There is good news. In North Africa and the Middle East, those between 15 and 24 are 90% literate, while only 30% of those 65 and over are literate. That means, in one generation, literacy dramatically improved. At 44, I'm thinking about my wisdom journey. How many more books do I have left to read? How much time should I allocate to reading? What do I do with the information? Given my borderline ridiculous desire for better, I'm now taking a course on becoming a better reader. To be clear, my issue is not productivity - I want to honor and learn from the incredible prose in Where the Crawdads Sing or the pithy insight in Midnight Library. Or how do I take the lessons coming off the pages of Ryan Holiday's books and turn them into action? Saying I read Ego is the Enemy is not helpful when my ego gets in the way of a nice evening with my son. An interesting opposing thought is not to read more books but to re-read. Revisit where you have been and see if it lands the same or maybe something new. It's like the second or third time you watch a movie, and you discover something that wasn't there before. A smile, a color, or that subtle costume change that shifts the tone of the story.As part of the course I'm taking, I've returned to a book I loved but have only read once. I'm going through my highlights and writing them on little note cards. A couple of passages jumped out and I wanted to share them with you.They are relevant to my week and my humans. And maybe they will strike a chord with you. I'll dive deeper into this wonderful work another time but feel it's important that read it a few more times first.The book is The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life written by Boyd Varty. Boyd's family converted their lion hunting land into a preserve. His close relationship with the African bush and the Shangaan are central to his story. The result is a wonderful narrative chalk full of lessons, metaphors, and wisdom about life through the eyes of a tracker.I am grateful that I can enjoy books like this. I can find almost any book I want and buy it. I have that privilege. I know it's not true for everyone on this blue ball. Some of them across the globe and some across the street. I'm going to think more how I can help play a role to solve that as education sits central to my own growth and the growth of our community.I will reserve my thoughts on these passages so that you can let them sit with you as they have with me. Please enjoy and take care.From Boyd Varty:"We must learn to read the subtle tracks of the body, the way it relaxes and opens when something feels right, the contraction and tightness when we are not where we are meant to be.""The father washes onto the son. He lives inside you as an aspiration, a disappointment, or a fear. Afraid you will never be like him or afraid you will be; he is there in the bones of your emotions. In the voices in your head. In your expectations of yourself. In the shadows of your weakness or strength. No matter how good the relationship, there is a tension between father and son.""In complete solitude, I stop objectifying myself. In the bush I don't think of myself on some social hierarchy. I don't define my value as a comparison with others. The birds and animals don't judge me. It's a kind of healing in which I become human again. In complete solitude, we are not a concept of ourselves; we are ourselves." This is a public episode.

I'm still tingling from my in-depth, heart-opening conversation with Boyd Varty, a true man-of-the-earth whose book, “The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life,” I ravaged through last week in eager anticipation of this recording.  Boyd Varty grew up on the verdant plains of a South African safari, within touching distance of the epic wildlife most of us only catch glimpses of on 2D screens. As a lion tracker, Boyd has studied the movements and mindset of the animal kingdom in a way I have never encountered before. He's articulately folded the truths from the bush into the human experience, using his background to explore trauma – both for himself and as a facilitator for others – in sacred ceremonies.  Medicine flows through this man, and this raw, meaty, wild ride of an episode is as enlightening as it is emotional.    10:38 — Childhood In the Bush  Growing up with the land Working in harmony with nature The safari that changed his life   The connection between tracking and trauma Learning to listen to your inner-knowing   29:40 — Looking at Nature v.s Being of Nature  Why there is no separation of self from nature Becoming more present in everyday life The third language of feeling   39:05 — Communicating With the Wild Tracking in action Energetic interaction with lions Talking with animals while tracking lions The purpose of tracking   49:13 — How to Track Your Life  Working with the unknown  Dialing down and following cues Losing track and persevering  Working with community The feeling of “enoughness” The awakening algorithm  Unseen heroism    1:12:10 — Exploring Trauma and Awakening Kidnapping and near-death experience A crocodile encounter and lessons learned Creating shared presence through ceremony  The gifts expressed from trauma  Integrating 5-MeO-DMT    01:48:09 — Facilitating Ceremonies  Spontaneously facilitating during the first ceremony  Unlocking shadow and weakness Mentorship with a Peruvian shaman for five years Redefining the meaning of ceremony    More about this episode.

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them?  Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities? Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated? EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don't have to. In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF. By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.

In today's episode, I sat down with someone who has been a big inspiration for me, Jeddy Azuma. Jeddy and I covered a LOT. He shared his story of how he came to connect with truth, ancient practices, and doing work that is aligned and meaningful, and how we all are working to leave a legacy. We talked about the difference between a boy and a man and the difference between the "initiations" we see in modern hazing and the traditional initiation ceremonies that have been practiced for thousands of years and that Jeddy works with today. We covered topics like asking for help and why it's so hard, being process vs. results oriented, what the point is of ceremony, and how we can practice and develop our relationship with challenge. This episode was dense, maybe one you want to go back and listen to again. Jeddy Azuma is the host of “The Rising Man Podcast” (Top #150 in Educational Podcasts) and Creator of The Rising Man Movement, Jeddy has been in the field of Men's Leadership and Empowerment for the past 10 years. As a Rites of Passage Guide, Mentor, and Leadership Coach, Jeddy has impacted the lives of hundreds of men on his mission to initiate an entire generation of men into power and purpose-driven service to the world. He is a Founding Father of Conscious Man Brotherhood and a lead coach in Man Cave, Unleash the Beast, and King's Court. Despite his many roles and contributions to “Men's Work", Jeddy considers his most important jobs to be Father and Husband. “I always knew I wanted to make a major impact on the world, I just had NO idea how to do that in my 20's. After numbing myself with substances and fear-based behaviors for years, I finally found a path in men's work and rites of passage that fed my soul. And, I knew it was only a matter of time before I would give this medicine back to the men around me. NOW, I'm clear that the gift I have for my people is to prepare the next generation of men to lead their families, communities, and themselves powerfully and confidently into uncertain times." You can learn more about Jeddy's programs and Rising Man at risingman.org and connect with Jeddy @jeddyazuma on instagram. In this episode I mentioned a book I've been obsessed with called The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life. It's short, literally 3 hours on Audible, it's entertaining, and packed with wisdom. If you're like me and have been procrastinating downloading Audible, now is the time to do it.

You probably know who Lance Armstrong is, but this is Lance as you've never seen him before — with his kimono wide open. We are always trying to figure out what we've done right, what we've done wrong, and how we can move forward. Today, Lance gives a candid take on what he did in the past and how he can move forward in a different way. It's an incredible redemption story that's up there with the best of them. Lance's first podcast was called The Move (https://wedu.team/themove) , which jumped to the top of Apple's podcast charts as soon as it came out. Lance sees what happened to him — and because of him — as a result of being ruthless and mean. Nobody would have seen him coming back in the way he has, but he had to keep moving forward. There was no plan in place. He just kept taking one more step. He made a lot of mistakes, but he looked inside himself to what was true — his love for the sport, his family, his friends — and began rebuilding his life on top of that foundation. You can't continue to measure yourself against the past, but you can continue to move forward and create something new — maybe even something better. We Discuss: 10:10 - How Lance got into endurance sports 19:39 - The challenges of going from an individual sport to a team sport 23:22 - Constantly moving forward in life. 26:31 - Letting go of bitterness and anger 37:44 - Lance's philosophy for advertising 44:05 - Lance's future business endeavors 52:34 - What it feels like to retire 58:34 - The life lessons Lance wants to pass on to his kids 1:07:08 - Parenting as someone who has reached a high level 1:16:30 - Trying not to measure yourself against your past Resources: The Forward Podcast: wedu.team/the-forward (https://wedu.team/the-forward) The Move Podcast: wedu.team/themove (https://wedu.team/themove) Sign up for my weekly newsletter: thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com/newsletter) Next Ventures (https://nextventures.com) The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LC9C7Q4?pf_rd_p=ab873d20-a0ca-439b-ac45-cd78f07a84d8&pf_rd_r=6F8T6S5B1GYMVYDFMJ4F) by Boyd Varty Ed Ruscha (https://edruscha.com/featured-works/) AMP Human (https://amphuman.com) Power Dot (https://www.powerdot.com) Jesse Itzler (https://jesseitzler.com) Connect with Lance Armstrong: Website | lancearmstrong.com (https://lancearmstrong.com/) Instagram | instagram.com/lancearmstrong/ (https://www.instagram.com/lancearmstrong/) Twitter | twitter.com/lancearmstrong (https://twitter.com/lancearmstrong) Facebook | facebook.com/lancearmstrong (https://www.facebook.com/lancearmstrong/) Connect with Cal: Website | https://www.thegreatunlearn.com (https://www.thegreatunlearn.com) Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/ (https://www.instagram.com/bunkercal/) Twitter | https://twitter.com/BunkerCal (https://twitter.com/BunkerCal) Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal (https://www.facebook.com/BunkerCal) YouTube | The Great Unlearn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCneI0an6qiL7t-7sne9TjhQ) Subscribe to the Great Unlearn Podcast: Apple Podcasts | https://apple.co/3a4ATpc (https://apple.co/3a4ATpc) Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv (https://spoti.fi/2Rb7emv) Google Play | http://bit.ly/2sehHUE (http://bit.ly/2sehHUE) Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6 (http://bit.ly/2t8wHE6) If you are called to support the podcast, please share the show with a friend!!!

How did Boyd end up weaving coaching and lion-tracking together? What does tracking mean to Boyd? Who is Boyd's teacher Renias and what has he taught him about tracking and life? What is the importance of waking up and presence? What does it mean that life is full of information? What does it mean that we must train ourselves to see our tracks? How do we learn to follow a deeper, wiser, wilder place inside of ourselves? What's the danger of losing ourselves in shoudls? How do we turn our attention back to our wilder selves?
