Description

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.

202. Emotional Mastery: From Understanding to Embodiment with David Sutcliffe
2026/04/20
We’ll always have blind spots. We won’t reach some final state of being healed. But we can continue to see more clearly, relate more honestly, open ourselves to new ways of connecting, and live more fully in our body. David Sutcliffe, emotional and relational mastery guide, speaks to the idea that transformation isn’t about fixing or arriving, but rather about becoming more fully embodied over time. At the heart of this episode is an invitation. To simply inhabit your experience more fully and honestly you.

Alex Sachon is an esoteric philosopher who is deeply attuned to the rhythms shaping geopolitics. In this conversation, we explore the core ideas behind his book The Coming World Nation: Why Global Government is Inevitable. We’re living through a period of global transition. As systems shift, so does our understanding of reality itself. From the emergence of UFO phenomena to a broader reorientation toward spiritual law, Alex invites a deeper question: are we being guided out of purely material frameworks and into something far more expansive and supportive?

198. Listening to Your Inner Rhythm: Staying True in the Noise with Singer-Songwriter Bo Staloch
2026/01/21
Bo Staloch is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter exploring the highs and lows of being alive. From failing a songwriting course to seeing that same song reach over 4 million listens, he shares how trusting his inner pull matters more than external opinion. In a raw conversation about coming down from touring and success, Bo reflects on the quieter, in-between moments — and how music becomes a way to heal, process emotion, and stay connected to what’s real. By staying true to himself within the industry, he lets the rhythm of real life guide both his art and the work he offers the world.

I recently joined Preston Douglas Boyer on his Liquid Life podcast for a wide-open, deep dive into my experience of waking up to what truly matters in my life.

So if you’re unlearning the roles you once held and feeling the pull toward a new identity, I hope you’ll listen in.
