The You Project

In this episode of TYP, Craig meanders his way through a broad range of issues, topics and hypotheticals, and as is often the way, he gets side-tracked twenty-seven times. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bathurst winner, Dave Reynolds has to be one of the most likeable, laid back, freestyle, give zero-fucks, anti-establishment professional athletes in Australia. In fact, it’s incredible that a guy who competes under such immense pressure (sponsors, fans, team expectations, driving demands, high speed thrills and spills, extreme in-car temperatures) can be so calm, relaxed and easy-going. Among oth...

In this episode, Craig, Melissa and Bianca Chatfield (ex. Aussie Netballer, TV presenter, Author) share their thoughts, ideas, stories and personal experiences, unpacking and dissecting what can be, an emotive and delicate topic. This is a conversation that is relevant for many and one that needs to be had more often. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From hero to zero in a week. Or so it seems for some professional athletes who are forced to retire (through age or injury) or are simply, ‘no longer required’. Friday: athlete. Monday: unemployed. When your sport has been your complete focus and identity for decades (and your club has been your ‘family’) and then, in the space of a day you’re no longer an athlete or team member, what happens to t...

Geoff Jowett. What a story. From the high-flying, fast-talking, money-making, money-wasting, drug-taking, reality-avoiding, ego-driven, insecure millionaire entrepreneur… to the broke, broken, depressed, suicidal, anxiety-riddled man-child… to the bloke who found peace, purpose, sobriety, contentment and himself in the things he once avoided; stillness, quiet, reflection, isolation and the company...

Just be you. Is that not the most over-used self-help cliché ever? And what does it even mean? After all, you’re you aren’t you? How can you not be? You’re one hundred percent you, one hundred percent of the time. There hasn’t been one second of your life when you’ve been someone else. Of course, you can dress, talk and act different(ly) but it’s still you. All you. Or is it? Maybe in the changing...

As the title suggests, in this episode Craig answers listener questions, explores a broad range of subject matter and along the way, goes off at a few tangents. As he does. He eventually finds his way back to the topic at hand. If you are sensitive to swearing, this might not be the episode for you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of TYP, rebel Dietician Vicky Kuriel pulls no punches when she takes aim at the thinking, philosophy and information being disseminated by most professionals working in the nutrition space. She also provides some great practical advice for anyone looking to change their current ‘nutritional operating system’. Oh yeah, and she tells Craig why his much-loved breakfast is not so aweso...

In this episode of TYP, Cameron Schwab (former Richmond, Fremantle and Melbourne Football Club CEO) returns and he and Craig explore the fundamentals of communication, connection, emotional intelligence and effective leadership in business, sport, parenting and life.

In this episode of TYP, Nima Alavi (Compounding Pharmacist) and Craig talk all-things peptides, nootropics (smart drugs), fat-loss, low testosterone, depression, dopamine, detoxing from addiction and an industry dependant on people staying sick. Craig also shares a story about his (one-time-only) experience with a smart drug. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is possibly the deepest, rawest and realest (not a word) Craig has ever gone on the Podcast. It is a teaching, coaching and mentoring session. Alex asks some great questions and Craig freestyles on everything from social media, religion, happiness, critical thinking and dick jokes to behavioural cults, fitting in, insecurity, self-loathing, role models, developing a personal philosophy and so...

For fourteen years, Gavin Crosisca was simultaneously a professional footballer (in the AFL) and an addict. An addict playing 246 senior games with Collingwood, winning a premiership, using drugs on a daily basis, pretending to be ‘normal’ and living a lie to his family, friends and team mates. Sadly, his addiction lasted way longer than his football career but these days he’s clean and sober and...

In this Episode of TYP, Craig sits down with Sam Wood (again) and the boys talk all things personal development, mindset, getting in shape, business, health, fitness and of course, happiness. They also talk about ‘The Bachelor’ a few years down the track, the longest ever fake ‘PR marriage’ (he and Snezana) and the impending birth of their new ‘PR baby’ (due in six days at time of recording). See...

Professor Ian Brighthope is a seeker, pioneer, rebel, educator and in many ways, a square peg in a profession of round holes. In this fascinating chat about all things health, healing, medicine, big pharma, big lies and agendas, the good Prof. drops some truth bombs, shares his story and passion, dispenses some awesome advice and takes aim at some of the people, organisations and issues standing i...

This episode is a share-cast. Craig was recently on the Daily Talk Show with Josh and Tommy and as always, the boys covered plenty of territory in what turned out to be a mix of casual conversation, philosophy, business advice, story-telling and coaching.

Our mind is the platform from where we observe, process and give meaning to, the world around us. It is our operational headquarters. It is the window through which we view and understand life and all its magic, mayhem and messy-ness. Our thoughts are the conduit between our external reality and our internal experience, and in this thoughtful episode (pun intended), Craig shares stories, ideas and...

Rounding off this week's theme of amazing people and their incredible journeys back from the brink, on this episode Craig chats with Terry Mitropoulos: A brain tumour. 13 brain surgeries. A stroke. Temporary loss of speech, sight and hearing. Paralysis. 72 different medications. Depression. 4 years in hospital. Devastated by a superbug. Given 5% of survival and 0% chance of walking and now he's se...

This is not so much a podcast as it is, Craig thinking out loud for a few minutes. It’s something he thought might resonate with his fellow seekers, searchers, students and works-in-progress. And it’s something he hopes will stimulate thought, contemplation, self-awareness and perhaps even a change in thinking, doing and being. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig has finally met his match. She’s funnier, cheekier, chattier, smarter and says fuck more than him. She’s also nineteen years old. Her name is Ciara Nelson and at the age of sixteen, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and given virtually no chance of survival, until she met Neurosurgeon Charlie Teo. Hers is a remarkable story of resilience, courage, love, healing and research (...

John Portelli wasn’t expected to live. On December 1, 2017 he was driving a work vehicle with gas bottles in the back. Those gas bottles exploded, tearing the roof of his ute and shattering windows in surrounding houses. So devastating was the event that, when the emergency services arrived, they suspected it had been an act of terrorism. And so extreme were John’s injuries that he was given almos...

This episode has been stolen from Craig’s ‘Renovate Your Life’ audio program (one of thirty sections) and in it, he talks about the idea of visualising what our life might look, feel and function like a year from now if everything goes to plan (we achieve our goals) and how we might turn that theoretical construct (plan, intention, goal, idea) into a real-world experience and practical outcome. If...

The youngsters call this a ‘share cast’. On it, Craig is interviewed by Russell Jarrett from the Australian Fitness Podcast and discusses staying productive when we can’t be bothered, the need for focus, purpose and meaning, whether we might all be addicted to something, the downside of retirement, the value of doing the hard stuff and lots more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy info...

This is a coaching session that most people will find relevant, if not, invaluable. Possibly, a little confronting. In this episode, Craig talks about everything from self-talk, self-awareness, self-sabotage, self-pity and self-management to metacognition (thinking about thinking), creating a new operating system, cognitive and behavioural programming and taking back your power. Depending on your...
