What if the planet was never the point?

What if the climate crisis isn’t a crisis — it’s a cover?

In this electrifying episode of UNLEARNING, climate activist and OneUpAction founder Kevin Patel, who began climate activism at the age of 11, joins Morgan to expose the systems of environmental inequality most conversations avoid. From corporate collusion to greenwashed narratives, they dive into the hard truths behind activism, climate change initiatives v.s. what actually needs to be done, and why surface-level climate conversations won’t move the needle.

In this episode:

• Why climate change is a human rights issue

• The truth about who really controls policy

• How to stay in the fight without burning out

• Where we often hide behind performative activism, instead of making systems-level change

• The power of owning your voice, no matter your age

This is for the conscious consumers, and those that dream of a world our children and families can live in.

Climate change is real — but the way we talk 'around' it might be hiding deeper fundamental issues.

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.

• 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
