The Great Unlearn

Lance Armstrong shares the unseen struggles in the cycling world, going from hero to zero in an instant, meeting and defeating cancer, and through it all, how he chose to rebuild a life of integrity and meaning.

5 years ago he devoted himself to a 5-day intensive experience at Onsite Nashville where he began to peel back the layers of his emotional pain; that for so long were covered with bandaid after bandaid. He emerged from this retreat with a revived understanding of himself and responsibility for the life he continues to choose.

Lance and I dive into...

➝ An exclusive look at his training protocol with Dr. Michele Ferrari

➝ Unpacking his PTSD at a 5-day intensive at Onsite Nashville

➝ Growing through the darkness of his past choices

➝ His vision with WEDŪ and Next Ventures

➝ How he maintains his physical and mental performance at 52

➝ And more!

Dan Martell is a serial entrepreneur, author of “Buy Back Your Time”, and coach to founders who are ready to scale their business by reclaiming their freedom. A big part of my journey has centered around the myth that my financial success brings life success — and in my body, this didn’t feel like the case once I reached that level in my career or outside of it. Dan’s approach to creating a fulfilling, liberating life honors the ultimate insights — we are each here to walk our own unique path, receive guidance from those who have done (in some essence) what we are doing and lead from our deep-rooted “why”.

Dan and I dive into...

➝ Cleaning up your "why" for building wealth.

➝ Sustainable creativity is from a soulful place, rather than competitive.

➝ Dan's childhood journey through drugs, prison, solitary confinement.

➝ How can we leverage our "failures"?

➝ Buying back your time and building a life that is in true alignment with your soul's mission.

➝ And more!

Republishing this conversation with my soul brother and fan favorite, Boyd Varty. If you aren't familiar yet, Boyd is co-owner of Londolozi Game Reserve where he grew up amongst the wilderness and leads a life that implements and demonstrates the wisdom of the natural world.

In this episode we talk Story—how they either create ease or constriction, how to witness ourself in one, and how to alchemize thoughts, patterns and behaviors based on being witness to our own energetics. Boyd leads us through an intimate experience of him sitting with his egoic mind, allowing as many unfiltered thoughts to rise to the surface, what they feel like and eventually re-patterning and re-enforcing a more supportive and loving way of being.

Boyd and I dive into...

⟶ Befriending and witnessing the egoic mind

⟶ Mapping out the journey of a transformational process

⟶ The art of spiraling and melting down to allow for a new way of being to come through

⟶ Cultivating the father archetypal energy at its best

⟶ Tracking the ways that we upper limit ourself

⟶ And more!
