UNLEARNING

About UNLEARNING

Where ideas are dismantled. Assumptions reimagined. The compass recalibrated. And your path begins to reveal itself. This is not a podcast. It’s a thesis. A reorientation of how we think, what we question, and what we choose to carry with us. Every guest has walked an unmarked path. Every episode reveals a hidden map. Every moment leaves something behind— a shift in how you see, a trace of what you’ll become.

   EP4 – About Me, Morgan Mercer: The Genesis of a Cultural Reset – Where Stories Are Reborn

   UNLEARNING: The Origin Story We’ve been told since childhood who we should be, how we should act, and what success should look like. But what if those stories aren’t yours? What if the path you’re walking was written for you—and you’ve just been following the script? In this episode of UNLEARNING, I take you behind the curtain—into the raw and real story of how UNLEARNING came to be. It’s about breaking the mold, rewriting the narrative, and questioning everything we’ve been told to believe about success, happiness, and who we’re allowed to become. I share the pivotal moments: • Moving across the world on a whim to study in Italy. • Turning down a prestigious internship to bet on the unknown. • Running a global VR startup at 24, speaking on world stages, and scaling through 185 press outlets. • Working with my late literary agent, who mirrored back the truth of what I could build. • The realization that the stories we accept without question are often the ones that keep us small. I also share a spoken word poem about the Genesis of UNLEARNING, dedicated to my late literary agent and co-creator, Esmond Harmsworth. ___________ Chapters 0:00 Intro 2:01 The Origin of National Unlearning Day 2:29 Why Society Conditions Us to Follow a Script 7:50 The Turning Point: Italy, Diplomacy, and the Breakaway Moment 10:00 Building My First Startup and the Birth of an Idea 11:40 The Genesis of UNLEARNING 12:38 Why Most People Never Step Into Their Own Story 13:25 The Concept of Mental Spaciousness—Thinking Without Limits 14:37 What It Really Takes to Unlearn Everything You’ve Been Told 15:28 How UNLEARNING is Becoming a Cultural Movement 17:45 The Vision for National UNLEARNING Day 18:38 Closing Reflections: This is Just the Beginning _________ Bonus Chapter 21:46 UNLEARNING, The Prologue— a spoken word poem ___________ Unlearning isn’t about forgetting. It’s about seeing the stories that were handed to you and deciding, for the first time, if they’re yours to carry. ___________ Explore UNLEARNING: www.morganmercerofficial.com (www.morganmercerofficial.com) ⁠www.instagram.com/themorganrmercer (https://www.instagram.com/themorganrmercer) ⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/themorganrmercer)⁠www.instagram.com/unlearningofficial⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/unlearningofficial)⁠ (https://www.youtube.com/@unlearningofficial) www.youtube.com/@UnlearningOfficial⁠ (https://www.youtube.com/@unlearningofficial)⁠ (https://www.unlearning.world) www.unlearning.world⁠ (https://www.unlearning.world) Listen to the show: Spotify: ⁠https://dub.sh/unlearningspotify⁠ (https://dub.sh/unlearningspotify) Apple: ⁠https://dub.sh/applepodcast⁠ (https://dub.sh/applepodcast)

   EP3 – Derek Du Chesne: You’re Not Broken, You’re Disconnected – How to Heal Without ‘Fixing’

   We’ve been conditioned to believe that healing means fixing what’s broken. But what if you were never broken? What if the anxiety, the chaos, the struggle—they aren’t proof of your flaws, but signals that you’ve been disconnected from who you truly are? In this episode of UNLEARNING, we dismantle the conventional narrative of mental health. We’ll uncover why most healing methods only scratch the surface—and why true transformation isn’t about patching up pieces, but about reconnecting with the parts of you that were never meant to be silenced. In this episode: • Why “fixing” isn’t healing—it’s just hiding the symptoms. • How disconnection, not dysfunction, is at the root of anxiety and depression. • Why traditional therapy often falls short of real transformation. • The myth of being broken—and the power of reclaiming your wholeness. • A path back to yourself that doesn’t require you to be “fixed.” ___________ Chapters 0:00 Intro 1:12 Why You Feel Disconnected (And What to Do About It) 4:58 7 Signs You’re Disconnected from Your Life 9:35 Symptoms Are Messengers, Not Problems 13:42 Why Trying to “Fix” Yourself is Survival Mode 18:27 Anxiety, Depression, and the Lie of Dysfunction 23:15 Why Traditional Therapy Keeps You Stuck 28:44 Unlearning the Belief That You’re Broken 33:18 Reclaiming Your Wholeness Without Needing to Be Fixed 37:49 How Psychedelics Fast-Track Healing 41:33 Ketamine Therapy: The Breakthrough No One Talks About 47:56 The Power of Perspective Shifts in Healing 52:10 Near-Death Experiences That Reframe Your Life 56:27 Why Healing Isn’t Linear (and Never Was) 1:01:18 How Gratitude Rewires Your Brain 1:05:44 Building Mental Resilience (Without Burnout) 1:12:38 Moving from Surviving to Thriving 1:16:22 The Path Back to Yourself: A Roadmap 1:20:10 Final Reflections: You Were Never Broken ___________ Episode Resources: www.instagram.com/derek.duchesne www.instagram.com/betterucare www.betterucare.com www.betterucare.com/services www.morganmercerofficial.com www.instagram.com/themorganrmercer www.instagram.com/unlearningofficial www.youtube.com/@UNLEARNINGOfficial www.unlearning.world Listen to the show: Spotify: https://dub.sh/unlearningspotify Apple: https://dub.sh/applepodcast

   EP2 – Jack Liang: From Club Promoter to World Leader - The Secret Skill Behind Global Movements

   What if everything you dismissed as reckless, everything you did just to get by, was the very thing that would one day build global movements? In this episode of UNLEARNING, Jack Liang unravels the journey from Brooklyn's underground party scene to leading the Stop Asian Hate Movement and organizing initiatives for the King of Bhutan. Jack shares how the chaotic world of nightlife taught him the unspoken art of energy, connection, and influence — the kind that scales from club doors to organizing spiritual events in royal halls. They explore the unlearning required to see survival skills as superpowers, the unexpected alchemy of rage into change, and why sometimes the very things you want to leave behind are the things that push you forward. In this episode: • How running Brooklyn’s wildest parties built the blueprint for global change • The power of reading energy — from club floors to country borders • Why rage is just un-transmuted power • Turning survival skills into community influence • Forgiveness as radical strength This is for the ones who’ve lived a thousand lives before the world ever knew their name. You don’t need permission to lead. You just need the courage to begin. ___________ Chapters 0:00 Intro — From Brooklyn Hustler to Global Leader 1:00 How a Club Promoter Launched Global Movements 3:20 The Secret Behind the First Stop Asian Hate Rally 5:10 Party Promoter Skills Built World-Changing Movements 8:45 Turning Rage Into Revolution — His Defining Moment 12:00 The Meditation That Sparked a Global Awakening 15:25 Working with the King of Bhutan — A Mindful Revolution 18:50 Mastering Energy — The Hidden Power Behind Leadership 22:00 Forgiveness as a Power Move — Why It’s the Hardest Choice 25:15 Building Conscious Cities — His Vision for New York ___________ Episode Resources: www.instagram.com/jackliang www.morganmercerofficial.com www.instagram.com/themorganrmercer www.instagram.com/unlearningofficial www.youtube.com/@UNLEARNINGOfficial www.unlearning.world Listen to the show: Spotify: https://dub.sh/unlearningspotify Apple: https://dub.sh/applepodcast
