As Director of Human Optimization at Onnit and host of the Kyle Kingsbury Podcast, Kyle Kingsbury is a living example of the optimized human. His desk is a smorgasbord of cutting edge supplements, esoteric equipment, manuals on biohacking, and texts on spiritual development, and he devotes his time to taking in as much information as possible so that he can apply and test that knowledge on himself.

And when Kyle talks about optimization, he isn’t just talking about fine-tuning your body — although, damn, you should look at this guy — he’s also talking about the mental, emotional, and spiritual work that we have to do if we want to live better.

I am constantly inspired and in awe at the work that Kyle puts into improving himself so that he can teach others how to do the same, and that’s why he’s the perfect choice to kick off our Great Unlearning Journey.

We Discuss:

  • 00:03:35 - The 3 major turning points in Kyle’s life after he retired from the UFC

  • 00:04:45 - Plant medicine + the non-psychedelic tools that can help us live better

  • 00:07:55 - The first moment Cal surrendered and found stillness—while being shot at

  • 00:13:15 - Why you should stop just doing and start being

  • 00:18:25 - Reframing your past to open your heart and create your future

  • 00:21:55 - Who is your greatest teacher?

  • 00:28:10 - An LSD journey in Arizona that didn’t go exactly as planned

  • 00:38:20 - The ways that we teach & learn

  • 00:50:10 - Working in
