What is failure? Is it a number? A certain metric? A particular result? Is it the same for everyone or is it different things for different people, depending on their beliefs, thinking, standards, goals and programming? Is it an idea? A label? Is it a story we tell ourselves about certain outcomes? Is it a literal ‘thing’ (like a brick, chair, hat or tree) or is it more of an individual mental con...

According to Doctor Kal Fried, we’re getting it wrong. Well, a lot of it. Pain, that is. Kal is a Sports Physician who tells a different story about the way pain should be managed, treated and understood.

In this episode, Craig intended to explore the remaining Ten questions from his new book. He didn’t do it. Mainly because he’s super chatty and has no idea of brevity. After some side-tracking and detouring, he manages to navigate his way through four of them: (1) micro and macro reality (2) the slippery-ness of success (3) people-pleasing and (4) listening to our body. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/l...

This is more of a Podcast-ette. Towards the end of a podcast a few weeks ago, I soap-boxed the f**k out of everyone with a ten-minute impromptu, evangelical monologue about stepping into your power, potential and possibilities. Well, it seemed to resonate with more than a few people, including Jo Quested (a follower), who shared that she made her husband and three sons listen to my pep-talk over d...

Bacon will kill you. Well, kind of. Maybe. This podcast was a sad moment for Craig the bacon lover, who discovered that one of his favourite meats could kill him! As could ham, salami and many other processed meats, which are all classified as Class 1 carcinogens (bad!) by the World Health Organisation. Good grief. Apart from this depressing news, Elise and Lauren from Oncore Nutrition also educat...

Let me say up front that this conversation is way more fun than it sounds! A week or so back, I was on a new podcast called ‘The Mental Health Project’ with a bloke called Tristan Simmons and I’ve decided to share our chat here because I think there’s value in it for my audience. I knock back most Podcast offers (for time reasons) but knew a little about Tristan, so wanted to support his foray int...
