The You Project

One-time Journalist, TV Presenter and Sportscaster, these days Brad McEwan is immersed in the ‘helping people’ space and he’s great at it. As an ambassador for Beyond Blue, a mental health advocate, corporate speaker and chief cheerleader for kindness, Brad is someone I love spending time with. In this episode, we talk about everything from friendly strangers and love languages to cyber-workshops,...

Luke Milton is a ripper. He’s the ex NRL player who went to the US, established a totally Aussie brand (Training Mate) in the middle of LA, started working with celebrities, got a gig on ‘Revenge Body’ with Khloe Kardashian, set up three training centres (with more on the way) and is building a fitness empire while having fun, keeping it real and creating a space where people are encouraged to lea...

Dr. Cam McDonald is back and this episode is seriously fascinating. And valuable. There is so much great information in this chat, you’ll want to listen twice. Along the way, we talk about how, just being around certain people can be good or bad for your health. Why your job might not be a good ‘fit' for your biology. Why certain colours, clothes, music and environments can boost or suppress your...

68.92 metres (226 feet). That’s how far Kathryn Mitchell threw her javelin to win the 2018 Commonwealth Games Gold medal. Or as I like to call it, far as f*ck. It’s also the furthest any female in the world has thrown a javelin in the last seven years. Apart from being an amazing athlete and competing at two Olympics and four Commonwealth Games, Kathryn is also a super-interesting, raw, real and r...

These days, Lisa Stephenson is a successful Author, Entrepreneur, International Speaker, Corporate Consultant and Media Commentator but ten years ago, it was a very different story. At that time, Lisa believed she was in the middle of a happy and healthy marriage. That belief was shattered one day when her husband left the house and unexpectedly, didn’t return. In the space of an hour, her life wa...

In this episode, I step out of my Corona hammock and put on my coaching hat for a brief personal development session to share ten fundamental ideas and principles. These are concepts which have proven to be relevant, reliable and effective for many of the people I’ve worked with on their individual journeys of education, transformation and liberation.

For this episode of the TYP, the very tall and charming Bianca Chatfield (6’2”), Melissa Cameron (6’0”) and Pete Shepherd (6’7”) sit down (remotely) with the ‘neither tall nor charming’ Craig, to talk about how they’re all improvising, adapting and overcoming. Among other things, they discuss how their day-to-day thinking, rituals and habits are changing, what they’re learning about themselves, de...

Ian O’Dwyer is a body-whisperer. Well, that’s what I call him. More typically, he might be called a functional movement specialist but I’ve known him for decades and, over and over again, I have seen him do incredible ‘hands-on’ things with (seemingly) broken bodies (including mine) and sometimes, it’s in as little as two or three minutes. I suspect he has some kind of weird healing superpower but...

This is the first time I’ve actually cried in a podcast. In part, this is a conversation about despair, abuse, identity, body-image and mental illness but thankfully, it’s also a message of recovery, strength, survival, hope, healing and love. There’s too much in this episode for me to do it justice with a few clumsy words. facebook.com/thegappgroup.com.au @lsbs_livestrongbestrong See omnystudio.c...

The ex-drug-taking, rush-chasing, fast-talking, money-spending, self-destructing Geoff Jowett is back and thankfully, these days the manic entrepreneur has disappeared and the philosopher, teacher, deep thinker and compassionate human has emerged to share his thoughts, ideas and messages in his (truly) unique style. Among other things, we discuss comparison culture, how animals saved Geoff’s life,...

In this episode, Craig and TYP favourite Bobby Cappuccio talk about the psychology, philosophy, sociology, physiology and practicality of self-managing in the middle of our ever-evolving reality. This chat was recorded on Zoom with a few ‘viewers’ so, there’s a small amount of interaction with the group. Enjoy. www.robertcappuccio.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode from the bunker is a conversation I had with Josh and Tommy from TSTD and among other things, we discuss my current technological learning curve, connecting with people who aren’t in the same room, situational awareness, life without a gym, life without hugs, faith vs. knowledge and the art of adaptation.

Over the last fortnight, I’ve been exploring three key questions with people: (1) How do I avoid going crazy? (2) How do I avoid going broke? (3) How do I avoid going backwards with my training? This podcast is about question 3. Not surprisingly (to me), some people are actually getting great results away from their ‘normal’, simply because they’re now stimulating their body in a new way. In this...

Former Richmond, Fremantle and Melbourne FC CEO and TYP favourite, Cameron Schwab returns to chat with us about his recent cancer diagnosis and subsequent journey. On February 14, Cam was diagnosed with prostate cancer and on February 23, he spoke at our TYP conference knowing that the next day he would find out whether or not the cancer had spread through his body. I won’t tell you the rest of th...

Like many others, Leanne Hamilton is a small business owner who is trying to navigate her new unexpected normal. With a very ‘hands-on’ service (a functional movement studio called Swift Fitness), 17 staff, 300 clients and significant weekly expenses, Leanne (like many others) has been in the middle of a very steep learning (and adapting) curve over the last few weeks. With massive pressure and un...

Not only has our current global challenge impacted us mentally, physically, emotionally and socially but obviously, there’s also been a massive impact on careers, businesses, industries, professions and of course, our individual financial situations. In this episode, Harps goes deep with our resident financial guru, Jason Cunningham from Network Ten, Triple M radio and of course, The Practice (his...

The Irishman is back and this time he and Harps talk about lessons learned from his military experience, The Stockdale Paradox (it’s a thing), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (another thing), reframing and resilience, finding the possibilities in the mayhem and what the Stoics might have thought about our current situation. Enjoy. https://www.globalhealthnow.org/2020-03/covid-19s-stop-gap-soluti...

After 50,000 PT sessions, 35 years in the fitness industry, 30 years training athletes and 25 years owning gyms, Craig has a few ideas about optimising time, energy and genetic potential in less-than-ideal situations. So for this episode, he dusts off his Exercise Science degree, drags his Everlast singlet out of retirement and goes deep exploring the multitude of options, graduations and variatio...

Podcast favourite Doctor Cam McDonald is back and this time he’s teaching us how boost our immune system, understand what our body is telling us, use stress to our advantage, become more aware in our environment, the (super) importance of sleep and lots more. https://ph360.me/coronavirus-immuneboost-friendsfamily/ https://www.facebook.com/events/213708616354685 See omnystudio.com/listener for priv...

This is an episode full of ideas, stories, inspiration, insights and strategies that will resonate with many. Personally, I loved it. I actually forgot I was recording and got lost in the conversation with one of Australia’s best thinkers, communicators and coaches. If you’re a human, you should listen.

While it could have been a heavy conversation, it turned out to be one of the silliest and funniest chats Melissa and I have ever had. On air or off. In the middle of some practical thoughts and ideas around our current challenge, I managed to share two stories about Melissa that she definitely didn’t want shared publicly. You’re welcome. Of course I’m in trouble but it was totally worth it. #ohwe...

I loved this chat. It was a fun episode with great stories, laughs and some genuinely interesting insights from Bianca Chatfield and Mark Scrivens. Among other things, Craig, Mark and Bianca talk about the non-reality of reality TV, how their relationship unfolded, Bianca’s feelings about marriage, Mark’s time as a soldier and federal policeman, self-management under pressure, mental health challe...

Sam Wood (Better Homes and Gardens, 28 by Sam Wood, The Wood Shed, The Bachelor) is back and this time he and Craig talk about everything from fitness, health, diet, disappointment, frustration, program adherence and long term success, to running a retreat, building a business, technology, parenting and even husbanding.
