The You Project

Getting Mary (who is somewhat private and averse to any kind of limelight) on to TYP is one of Craig’s greatest achievements. It’s fair to say ‘The Old Darl’ (as Craig calls her) wasn’t excited at the idea but warmed up as they discussed everything from never having a mum (Mary’s mum died giving birth), being raised by nuns from the age of four at a boarding school, winning ‘Miss Dairymaid’ and go...

Doctor Kal Fried (pronounced Freed) is back on TYP sharing his medical wisdom, stories and insights around health, healing and hysteria. He and Craig go even deeper (than last time) on the ‘what is pain and how does it work’ conversation. For reasons explained during the show, this is a non-swearing episode. You’re fucking welcome.

In this episode, Craig shares stories from his journey as a fitness industry pioneer. For those of you who don’t know, he opened Australia’s first Personal Training Centre in 1990, wrote the first PT certification course, employed over five hundred trainers, owned four studios (including the largest in the Southern Hemisphere) and personally facilitated over forty thousand PT sessions. Considering...

Wow, that’s a lot of P’s in one title. Here’s another… Paul O’Brien (Leadership Coach, Ex Police Inspector, Author and Endurance Cyclist) is back on TYP and once again the lads get deep and philosophical, exploring the peaks and troughs, the simplicities and complexities, the light and shade of the human experience.

Fitness industry pioneer, Tony Doherty has been innovating, creating, contradicting the norm and calling a spade a fucking shovel for three decades. He has a Ph. D in getting shit done and is simultaneously compassionate, terrifying and inspirational. Tony and Craig have been mates for years and as always, they had a great chat. Enjoy.

Craig sits down with Australia’s best bodybuilder, Josh Lenartowicz, and the boys talk about prepping for the Mr. Olympia, the mind in bodybuilding, dealing with grief (losing his friend Dallas McCarver), his popularity in China, shrinking plane seats, being hangry, his understanding wife (Liz), life post-bodybuilding (with smaller muscles) and impending fatherhood. See omnystudio.com/listener for...

For some people, Pastor Rob Buckingham is not ‘Christian enough’. And more than likely, some of those same people will get mad at him for chatting with the bloke who says fuck. Although Craig commits to a non-swearing Podcast at the start, he only lasts ten minutes. There’s a shock. The boys talk about Rob’s work with Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran (from the ‘Bali Nine’) leading up to their exec...

The other day Craig sat down with Maritza Barone on her Podcast (‘Things You Can’t Un-Hear’) and continuing on with his current pattern of laziness, he’s decided to call her great work, Episode 71 of The You Project. He has no shame. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig recently chatted with Jarrod L'estrange on ‘The Super Dad Show’ and because he’s essentially lazy, he said to himself… ‘self, why don’t I put a different label on Jarrod’s podcast and call it Episode 70 of TYP and give m’self an hour off?’. Lazy? Resourceful? Time efficient? Who cares? Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Damon Hayhow has been a Trailblazer, Lateral Thinker, Challenger of Convention and Shit Stirrer in the Australian Fitness industry for more than a decade. While he challenges the status quo, cuts through the BS and ruffles feathers, he also cares deeply about helping people understand and realise their physical potential. To say he is somewhat direct is like saying the ocean is a bit wet. In this...

In this episode of TYP, Craig talks about the way he manages himself (physically, mentally, emotionally, practically). He doesn't always succeed (of course), so maybe 'intentions' would be a better word than 'rules'. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode, Craig sits down with media presenter, author, speaker, sex-pert and highly regarded health commentator, Doctor Sally Cockburn (yes, her real name, pronounced ‘Co-burn’ and yes, she sees the irony), also know in the media as Dr. Feelgood. They cover a broad range of topics and it’s fair to say, the Doc’s not shy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Craig explores the way we sabotage ourselves emotionally and along the way, derail our own potential, purpose and happiness.

Craig sits down with leading Sport Psychologist, Jacqui Louder to discuss everything from anxiety, loneliness, self-awareness, identity and seeking parental approval, to Jacqui’s job working with elite athletes, social media traps, self-management and the idea of success. Jacqui also opens up about some of her personal challenges. This conversation is very relevant and relatable for most of us. Se...

This is an unplanned and impromptu mini Podcast that Craig recorded in a moment of inspiration after writing about the impossibility of ‘being objective’. It is a brief exploration into the way we process and understand (1) ourselves (2) others and (3) the world around us. If you love ‘mind stuff’, you’ll enjoy this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode Craig shares his thoughts on BMI, using scales, rapid weight loss, body composition, fitness cults, testing, finding the best program, different types of fitness, developing a personal blueprint for our body and the importance of tracking the physical transformation process.

This episode, Craig chats with Professor Sharon Ricardo (head of Biomedicine at Monash University) about living longer, stronger, happier and healthier.

Navigating life can be a tricky (and sometimes, overwhelming) task. And in the middle of that responsibility, there’s the equally important challenge of managing ‘us’. Specifically, our mind, emotions, self-talk, choices, behaviours and overall ‘operating system’. In this episode, Craig sits down with cancer survivor, leadership coach, endurance cyclist, author and former police inspector, Paul O’...

Champion Netballer, TV Host, ‘Block’ competitor, Leadership Coach, Corporate Speaker and You Project regular, Bianca is back chatting with Craig about everything from school kids medicating their anxiety, awkwardness around self-promotion and teaching kids how to self-manage (mentally and emotionally) as a school subject, to vulnerability, trust and Bianca’s issue with dating men shorter than six-...

Network Ten’s Jason Cunningham (and TYP’s unpaid money expert) is back to help us navigate the murky waters of generating, spending, saving, investing and maximising our hard-earned. This is a user-friendly conversation for people (like Craig) who are not ‘experts’ in this space. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig is a life-long learner. The eternal student. Not the best student, but a committed and enthusiastic one, nonetheless. In this conversation with Dr. Richard Huysmans, the boys discuss Craig’s impending PhD. journey and explore the numerous cognitive, emotional and practical benefits of stepping into a structured learning situation, be that a short course to become a barista, a certificate 3 i...

What’s the differences between being kind-of uncomfortable (but still capable of much more) and working to our absolute threshold? What’s actually possible when we push through the self-limiting thinking, the fear, the perceived barriers and our addiction to comfort? In this episode, Craig talks about the difference between ‘perception and reality’ when it comes to exploring our performance limits...
