We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary ( InnSæi: The Power of Intuition ), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

In times when college students are using artificial intelligence to answer even introductory course questions like: “Briefly introduce yourself and say what you’re hoping to get out of this class?” we really have to wonder about how education is going to adapt to a future where students delegate nearly all their classwork to AI. Cal speaks with James D. Walsh after Walsh’s New York Magazine article revealed a seismic shift that’s redefining the word “cheating” and nudging teachers to think about finding new professions.…

In ten years, we’ll create content as fast as we can think it. That’s what the owner of a cutting-edge AI studio told Cal—and something clicked. This wasn’t just about technology. It was about humanity, about carbon merging with code. That’s when Cal decided to document the great unfolding: The evolution of our species as we begin to step into the future with artificial minds. This podcast isn’t exactly Charles Darwin sketching “I think” above the first evolutionary tree before going on the path to write The Origin of The Species. But maybe something unforgettable will come of Cal’s work that touches every life it reaches. Cal welcomes you to the next chapter of Us.…

After a devastating rugby injury to his spine seven years ago to this day, Robert Paylor was told he'd never walk again and the best he could hope for would be to one day be able to pick up a slice of pizza.

In this episode, Robert shares the mindset that rewired his future, and Cal explores how breakthroughs in AI could one day remove the walker entirely. This is more than a comeback story. It’s a masterclass in overcoming adversity, reshaping identity, and pushing past limits—no matter the odds. If you’re facing any kind of challenge, this conversation will give you strength.

A single year can easily get lost in time or echo for centuries. A thought-provoking conversation with Simon Sinek makes Cal take a look back at 1925, 1825, 1725, and 1625 — and forward to wonder if 2025 will be the most transformational year humanity has ever seen. Artificial intelligence is accelerating us forward and making us wonder how we’re going to evolve. At the same time, it brings more value to the human touch and enhances our creativity. This is not the time to turn away from AI with fear, Cal concludes. It’s the time to be curious about how to understand it, regulate it and get the most out of it.…

For decades, Cal steered clear of pharmaceuticals. But after assembling a new team of doctors and stepping on the scale and noticing a few extra pounds, he heard the same three letters over and over: GLP. These new drugs—GLP- 1s—aren’t just helping people shed pounds. They’re helping snuff out the brain’s hijacked hunger signals, replacing the relentless “more, more, more” with something almost revolutionary: “less is enough.” In this episode, Cal explores what happens when we hand over the mic to a new control tower—one that rewrites the script our brains have been stuck on for far too long. A candid journey. A scientific shift. And the first time Cal actually wonders if he can stop after one bite of pizza.…
