The Great Unlearn

Aubrey Marcus is on today with a dense episode chatting all things Onnit, personal journey, relationships, living a meaningful life, and money. Aubrey recently sold Onnit to one of the world's largest companies and while it's been an incredible opportunity, this major life transition brought about a level of scarcity mindset; which may seem counterintuitive to what we've been taught. W...

Travis Van Winkle is an actor and activist who, after losses and challenging relationships, found himself on a healing journey. Around 25, Travis began noticing both his relationship to self and others were deeply suffering and then began "the work". I really loved this conversation because most of us know the beauty and impacts of self development and healing, but many of us forget the im...

Dr. John is the definition of a wounded healer.

In his private practice, his focus is on cellular energetics by optimizing and supporting our body’s natural ability to cleanse, regulate, and heal. I’ve been w...

I recently returned to Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa for my second visit, except this time I got to journey alongside 3 of my closest brothers — Boyd, Chase, and Greg. And it was nothing short of epic. In 1926, Boyd’s great-grandfather purchased a bankrupt cattle farm and after years of partnering with nature and devising a model that allowed for the land to be honored and protected this...

Will Rezin exudes warmth and compassion, and has a true gift of holding space for others to have their own experiences without imposing beliefs, insights or knowledge — something that is very difficult to truly embody as many of us are ingrained with the desire to rescue and fix. The power of simply being present with is sometimes the best medicine. Will is a trauma coach and trainer, and trauma i...

Imagine… we’re in 2022 and social media posts, comments, chat messages, and tips are truly peer-to-peer. No filtering or censoring, no third party screening your content. YOU are the owner of your content, data, and community. Well, it officially exists. So excited to have JP and Justin on today to share all about Zion — a platform reimagining social media so that you, the creator, own the keys to...

Charles Clay joins us for an intimate conversation on the depths of loneliness and releasing shame, fear and stagnant energy. We unpack the intricacies of our emotions and pain and how they act as our body’s communication system; signaling with a subtle cue or with an abrupt wake up call; oftentimes the latter, due to dismissing the wisdom of our own body. In our current society, these signals can...

Mikki joins us for his second time around (see Episode 58 for his debut) to discuss the important work that he's in the midst of – the production of several documentaries and a book that he just released – and the current state of the world. Mikki's well known for his 100% censored and 0% debunked documentary called Plandemic: Indoctornation. What was considered conspiracy from many nearly...

Dr. Craig Koniver of Koniver Wellness is on with us today and this conversation’s been in the queue for quite some time now. I was introduced to Craig back in 2017 while on my way to the Route 91 festival that would, soon after, be the catalyst for a massive existential shift. As we began working together on getting my wellness dialed in, I learned quickly that Dr. Koniver was respectfully untradi...

Topics we dive into… → Dissolving the old story of masculinity and the natural need to fix things → Allowing ourselves to question the common n...

Jesse Elder is someone that, I would argue, cannot be triggered. As someone who lived most of their life with a black and white mindset, I constantly feel inspired by Jesse’s ability to navigate immensely oppositional conversations with such supreme grace and openness. How did he acquire such a beautiful understanding and way of being? His answer: upbringing.  Jesse shares with us his journey thro...

During this conversation, I asked Khalil if he ever mis...

Daniel specializes in transformative bodywork, energy alignment, and sound frequency attunement. Throughout his 20s and 30s, he found himself dancing with toxic habits – low frequency foods, alcohol, pills – and with the help of various plants and teachers, discovered powerful tools for transmuting unhealthy energy in a way that served both himself and the greater masses. He shares his journey of...

I had the honor of hopping on a dear friend's podcast recently – The Thought Room with Hallie Rose – and to not much surprise, it unfolded with such ease and authenticity. Hallie has a way of inviting others to drop their guard and dive into what is truly coming to the surface in the moment. She holds space for it all and this is exactly what she did in this episode all about transcending over...

​​Erick Godsey is back with us for his second appearance—see episode 11 for his debut—and he goes DEEP on this one, folks. Erick takes his understanding from a decade of studying human nature and self-examination and delves into his own personal recalibration as he pieces together a new way of being and serving. With any great unlearning comes a degree of existential crisis, as we are forced to re...

TGU is bringing the feminine to y’all today. I got to sit down with both Peyton and McLean for a deep dive into all things partnerships, co-parenting, motherhood, and how to best care for a woman in her postpartum period. These doulas share some beautiful wisdom – a lot of which may be unfamiliar, as our culture has strayed from these ancient traditions that once were essential to our wellbeing. I...

Competing at the Crossfit Games on 8 separate occasions and taking home the W in 2008, Jason Khalipa joins us today to share his wisdom around the age-old concept – balance. Something that we sometimes lose sight of as we find ourselves submerged in our fast-paced society; derailing from our priorities and what’s truly important at the end of the day. Unfortunately – and fortunately, to a degree –...

Honored to host these three ladies fresh off of their 7 day immersion at Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa. If you’ve been listening, you’ll recognize this game reserve as Boyd Varty’s home base – a 3-time guest on TGU ;) It’s not every day that we’re presented with an opportunity, or even desire, to submerge oneself in the South African bush, but something pinged each of them in a way that w...

We don’t expand ourselves, LOVE expands us. So excited to share Adam Roa’s medicine on TGU today. Humans are in a constant state of expansion; every choice we make affects who we are becoming. Adam shares his journey to self-love and his life-altering awakening at 18 years old that presented him with either an opportunity to evolve or to remain in the cycle of chasing adequacy. Something I resonat...

Many of you may know that for 20 years I spent much of my time on the Chicago trading floor and my love for investing has been a constant ever since. I don’t find too many opportune moments to dive into this passion on TGU, so this conversation was certainly a fun one to finally have on the show. Among his many investment tips and tricks, Justin is keen on the importance of “family man first, busi...
