The Great Unlearn

Have all the “things” yet still feel empty inside? Seems to be the theme the past couple of weeks here on TGU. Today I’m thrilled to have my brother, Adrian Grenier, on the pod today as he takes us through the many reincarnations of his life so far. From indulging in the life of sex, drugs, and rock n roll to eventually waking up in his early 40s. Adrian’s genuinity shines through in this episode...

Fan favorite lion tracker, Boyd Varty, is back with us and diving into the “art” of suffering – a self-inflicted phenomenon. It’s safe to say that we’ve all suffered one time or another, but oftentimes people remain in the drama-filled stories that they, themselves, have created. I know I have. With this, the suffering doesn't end... it only replicates. In this episode, Boyd breaks down a few...

Matt Maruca of RA Optics joins us today to share his wealth of knowledge and experience surrounding “light”; sunlight, blue light, and all the wavelengths in between. Most of us are familiar with the importance of blocking blue light, specifically in the evening, but as I learned in this conversation, it goes so much deeper than that. Matt shines light (pun intended) on ALL the ways that light imp...

Change your mindset, change your life. Is it really that simple? Garrain Jones would say yes, and with many miraculous experiences to support it. After being sentenced to 10+ years, stripped of all the outside noise, and forced to sit with Self, he used this adversity as his superpower and began to create value within himself while also inspiring those around him. Once embracing this shift, big th...

2020. What a year... As I wrap up The Great Unlearn’s first full year of episodes (aka preseason), I’m met with many new life-altering discoveries; much of which I share in this final episode of the year.

Amongst many other topics, Matt un...

He offers up an immense amount to ponder on when it comes to understanding and...

I’m honored to have East Forest, aka Krishna, on today's episode to share his interesting journey to discovering sound as a pivotal form of healing. I’ve always been big into music but it wasn’t until recently that I truly felt the importance and medicinal properties that music offers along this journey through life, and more specifically ceremonial settings – cue East Forest. Enjoy this fasci...

You may have heard me use this term a few times (or ten) to express going within ourselves to rediscover our innate self-love; to better understand who we are and why we show up the way we do; to shine a light on our shadows and make peace with those darker places within.  Well, today’s guest is where the concept of “working in” all originated. Paul Chek is on the cast today and I couldn’t be more...

Navigating relationships as we grow older is a lost art today — especially for men. Without awareness, friendships can far-too-easily fall into the depth-less golf buddy category, never sharpening and molding us the way they’re designed to.   I’ve invited three of my closest brothers who have continued to #showup for me in ways that I can only begin to describe. In this episode, we do our best to...

Last year I attended Adyashanti's 5 day silent retreat, which is similar to a Vipassana retreat. Vipassana means “to see things as they really are.” I took a vow of noble silence and practiced deep stillness each day. I soon began to feel and experience many of the things that have ALWAYS been surrounding and supporting me. It was a life-changing experience. During this quarantine season, I fe...

During this interview, she deep dives the power of masculine self...
