The You Project

Dr. Cam just got back from Bali where he did a deep dive on.. Dr. Cam. He went to the metaphoric room of mirrors for a long hard look, and he told me (us) it was one of the most powerful and amazing experiences of his life. I'm gonna say up front, I loved this chat. The Doc was incredibly raw, real and humble as he unpacked his recent life-changing experience. It was so nice talking with a bloke a...

In this episode I’m exploring more listener questions. I endeavoured to pick questions that were broadly relevant and as I always say, keep in mind that none of this personal advice or prescription, just me thinking out loud. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Of course, there's no single answer to that question - there are countless factors and variables. But with that in mind, Bobby and I had a chat about one of our favourite books (and one of the most influential psychological books of the 20th century): ‘Man's Search for Meaning’ by Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor, Dr. Viktor Frankl. I really enjoyed this conve...

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood - 'once called the disease of Kings' because only rich people got it - and over the last decade or two, new cases have exploded across all social, cultural and financial demographics (so not just rich people). Historically, it was believed that gout was caused by eating too much red meat, seafood and dairy but...

"What's the worst thing that can happen" is a question l've asked myself repeatedly over the years and many times it's been the single strategy that got me to say yes to things I needed to, which were often also the things that scared the metaphoric sh*t out of me. Believing that I could survive the worst-case scenario is often what got me to take a first step. Apart from that question, Dr. Jodi a...

That title is not even a joke. Tammy Van Wisse actually lost 10kgs in 9 hours (and 6 minutes), swimming forty kilometres in the extremely cold water of Loch Ness, while trying not to get eaten by a f**king monster. This was Tammy's second visit to TYP and this chat was a truly fascinating insight into weirdness and wonder of marathon swimming at the highest jevel, from a practical, psychological a...

Andy Gowers is the President of the Hawthorn Football Club, former Director of Football, former player (140 games across three clubs) and member of Hawthorn's 1991 premiership team. Andy and I had fun chatting about all the football and non-football stuff that makes an AFL club 'work.’ Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr Bill is back for another chat and as Mary Harper would say "this was a goodie". Among other things, we talk about the evolution of religion (sounds contradictory doesn't it?), the beliefs we have that we didn't choose, being emotionally attached to a particular ideology, philosophy and/or theology, religion being the ultimate drug, the 'self' as an illusion, our fear of uncertainty, our need to...

Bobby's back informing, educating and inspiring us towards bigger and better things. Or maybe, smaller and better things? Among other things, we talk about whether the 'all or nothing' approach is an effective or ineffective protocol on the 'thinking, doing and being better' journey. Personally, I'm all for some strategic 'nothing' days. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lucas Aoun is a Melbourne-based naturopath, biohacker, and health optimisation expert renowned for his work in enhancing human health and performance through cutting-edge strategies and now, he's pretty-much a TYP regular (it's his third visit). I gotta be honest, this chat was as funny as it was educational and inspirational. Admittedly, we may have spent too long chatting about the benefits of,...

To be honest, the idea of a loved-one being 'brought back to life' using Al (images, video, audio) to create a virtual post-death version of that person, who can 'talk to loved ones left behind, kind of creeps me out. But that's just me. For some people, it's apparently comforting and therapeutic. Patrick, Tiff and I cover quite a bit of ground in this episode and not surprisingly, a lot of it isn...

I threw out the invitation, and in those questions came. Over the next few weeks, l'll record and post a few of these eps where l'm exploring different topics, ideas and questions sent in by you; our trusty and loyal TYP’ers. In this ep I explore training with dodgy knees, backs and general old-person injuries and issues, being motivated but not disciplined, the potential danger of being too...

By the end of June (2025) @pilates will comprise thirty Pilates studios; not a bad effort considering the organisation was little more than an idea for Russell and Tara Jarrett just four years ago. What I love most about their story is that is that these two are becoming peak performers in their 50's (Russ is 57, Tara 56) and having known them for three decades, it's been fun watching two people '...

We sit more than ever. We move less than ever. And it's wrecking our health. In this episode, I unpack why sitting for eight-plus hours a day (with no movement) carries a death risk similar to smoking. From metabolic dysfunction to muscle atrophy, to brain fog to increased disease risk, we're paying the price for comfort. I share some facts, ask some hard questions, and offer simple, practical way...

Apologies team, I’m away from the mic today (back tomorrow) but in the spirit of ‘a daily podcast’, I thought we’d revisit our all-time most popular, most listened to, and most shared podcast. For whatever reason, this message resonated powerfully with many people and we have never received more feedback about any episode. For some of you it will be a brand new listen and f...

In this episode, Bobby and I talk about how, why and when people buy stuff (especially stuff they don't necessarily need), the psychology, perception and story of value, selling in a way that doesn't look or feel like selling, understanding what we're really selling (beyond the obvious product or service), establishing our own commercial worth in a market place of people doing what we do (or simil...

Dr. Hannah is back and not only is she a Doctor of Neuropsychology but now (and even more impressive) she's a mum! As always the energy, info and inspo (as the kids call it) was great and we had fun chatting about the chasm between theoretical and experiential learning, the ever-increasing rate of diagnoses of mental health conditions, knowing when to chat to someone about your brain, creating an...

How much free will do we actually have? How much are we controlled, determined, and driven by our genetics? And brain chemistry? Subconscious mind? Decades of programming? Fear? Of course, we love to think we're in control, but are we? TYP favourite Josh Piterman is back telling us about his new book (Behind the Mask) and along the way we do a deep dive into the mind, ego, soul, consciousness, fea...

Gillespo and the old-bodgey lifter of heavy things opened the protein door and had some fun exploring the science, the stories, the misinformation, the assumptions and the challenges for people eating certain types of diets. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to Nicole Liddell, "discipline is freedom" and if what she's been able to change, achieve and create over the last ten years is a byproduct of discipline, then I'd have to agree with her. Navigating mental health issues, obesity, poverty, domestic violence and a range of other challenges, and then evolving into the inspiration she is today (she wouldn't call herself that but I would), is...

This episode is me thinking out-loud about success. The idea of it. The experience of it. The cultural story of it. The marketing and branding of it. What it is and isn't. Why some 'successful people' are miserable and some people that society would label poor are mentally, emotionally and experientially rich. Why we keep moving the goal posts. Why the idea of it (success) is rarely the experience...

Not only is Dr. Jeff a specialist in regenerative stem cell medicine, anti-aging, longevity and integrative medicine but he's also a spine fellowship trained neurological surgeon. So, not an idiot then. With that in mind, this episode we decided to talk all-things 'dodgy backs'. Muscle stuff. Skeleton stuff. Sitting-on-our-arse stuff. Exercise and rehab stuff. Dealing-with-pain stuff. Treatment st...

Hi Team, our tech nerd is back and here's what came up this time... Smart sunglasses with a built-in video camera/recorder that's recording you when you don't know; what could possibly go wrong? Jobs falling by the wayside as Al becomes the new much-cheaper 'preferred employee' for many companies. Nuclear batteries the size of a coin that will last without charging for a hundred years. Panic buyin...

The last two decades has seen the proliferation of 'Coaching' and not the sporting kind; the other kind. Or should I say, 'kinds'. Life Coaches. Business Coaches. Health Coaches. High-Performance Coaches. Nutrition Coaches. Relationship Coaches. Mental Health Coaches. Mindset Coaches. Leadership Coaches. Executive Coaches. Fitness Coaches. The List goes on. This time around, Bobby and I chat about...

Hi TYP’ers. I’m interstate at the moment, so today we're revisiting one of my favourite chats with Charlie Morley. Enjoy. *“The essence of Buddhism: (1) don’t be a dick (2) be kind to people (3) train your mind” – Charlie Morley (Buddhist Teacher). I didn’t want this episode to end. I loved the chat, loved Charlie and yes, I love my job. Charlie was a drug...
