What if the real reason you’re stuck isn’t fear — but obedience?

In this episode of UNLEARNING, Morgan sits down with Tommy Duncan, a Detroit-born serial entrepreneur who turned high-risk decisions into back-to-back massive wins. Together, they unpack the invisible forces that keep people stuck inside systems they didn’t choose — and the bold moves it takes to escape them. This is for the rule-breakers, the quiet rebels, and the ones who feel that deep itch for more.

From growing up in Detroit to selling his companies for $100s of millions, Tommy reveals why most people stay stuck, how to shift from survival to strategy, how the system keeps you small—and why bold action, not just big ideas, is the real key to transformation.

___________

What You’ll UNLEARN:

• That working hard means you’ll get ahead

• Why rules exist — and how to see through them

• How to turn fear into fuel

• That safety is the ultimate goal (hint: it’s not)

• Why most people never truly own their time or income

This isn’t hustle culture. It’s soul strategy. And yes — you’ll want to take notes.

Your calling is calling. Are you ready to pick up?

In this episode of UNLEARNING, world-renowned speaker and legendary life strategist Tim Storey joins Morgan for a soul-shifting conversation on how to realign with your purpose—even amidst setbacks, distractions, or detours.

They unpack the cost of living on autopilot, the lies we inherit about success, what happens when you ignore what you’re here to do, how to return to the quiet wisdom you’ve been tuning out — and how to realign with your purpose before it’s too late.

“Stop ignoring what you’re here to do. Your dream has a voice—can you hear it?”

Whether you’re at a crossroads or just feeling off, this conversation will put you back on course.

In this episode:

• Why most people never unlearn what’s holding them back

• The hidden cost of almost living your purpose

• How to know when your timeline is out of sync

• Trust vs. control — and the bugs on the windshield

• What happens when you finally pick up the call

• The danger of settling in a setback

• What divine timing actually looks like

• How to move from confusion to calling

• Why alignment feels like coming home

This one is for the seekers, the driven, the ones who know they’re meant for more—but haven’t fully answered yet.

You’re not behind.

You’re not broken.

You’re just being called.
