The You Project

In this two-part episode, Lisa Tamati and I go super deep exploring the ins and outs of human health, human performance and human optimisation, through the lens of epigenetics, psychology, biofeedback and biohacking. I think most of you will really enjoy this chat. lisatamati.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a reboot of a chat I had with Todd a while back. What am I going to talk to the grumpy judge from Dancing with the Stars about? I wondered. The bloke who wrote and starred in The Boy from Oz? I wondered. The bloke who starred in 42nd Street, The Pirates of Penzance, Camelot, La Cage aux Folles, Singin' in the Rain, Priscilla Queen of the Desert (the musical) and Baz Luhrmann's film...

Nah, not really. But sorta, kinda, maybe. I had a very clear and weird dream last night and that weirdness was the central theme for my discussion with Tiff. Before the weirdness happened, we spoke about the famous Australian Singer-Songwriter who's written a song about Tiff and is using her image on the front of his new album! We also chatted about, who I think could be the best all-round athlete...

I recently chatted with Winter Olympian, Broadcaster and High-Performance Coach Steph Prem, on her brand-new podcast ‘Mindfulmess with Steph Prem’. We had a fun time, take a listen. stephprem.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our resident Lawyer, Researcher, Author, Entrepreneur and Shit-Stirrer David Gillespie is back, and this time we talk about his new book 'Toxic at Work', the healthiest chips at the supermarket (I use the term 'healthiest' quite loosely), how to be a nutritional detective (and figure out exactly what's in food products), and we also compare notes with our respective public speaking experiences. En...

In this twenty-minute solo episode (mini workshop), I explore one simple question... how do I keep myself ‘working' (physically, mentally, emotionally, cognitively, behaviourally) as well as I can, for as long as I can? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

this fascinating chat with Dr. Cam McDonald, we explore the six different health types used to categorise people within the Ph360 model; a classification and education model based on personal biology and epigenetics. Get to know the Activator, Connector, Guardian, Diplomat, Sensor and Crusader and see which type you are. Enjoy. 🙂 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can we really 'not think'? Can we really turn our over-thinking chaos into a cognitive oasis of calm and bliss? And can we really turn the internal volume down to zero? In this interesting chat with John Purkiss, we explore these questions and more. John is the author of 'The Power of Letting Go', a Cambridge educated academic, a spiritual seeker and teacher and just like you and me, a perpetual w...

In the penultimate episode of our Brain Series with our favourite Neuropsychologist Doctor Hannah, we explore the relationship between self-care and 'a smarter you. Enjoy. @nobullpsych See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this brief solo episode, I discuss the (bad) idea of trying to change people. Good intentions don't always equal good outcomes, especially when the person you're trying to change hasn't sought your advice, feedback, input or help. In fact, in many cases, trying to coerce (guilt, threaten, leverage) a person to change will create more disconnection than connection, and more resentment than compl...

Jacqui Louder is the Sport Psychologist for the Collingwood Football Club (the most loved and hated team in the land) and as most of you know, her team recently won the AFL Grand Final. Well, we sat down and spoke about the multitude of variables (physical, mental, emotional, practical, organisational) that contribute towards winning the ultimate prize. And yes, we cover much more than just footy,...

I hope my mum doesn't listen to this episode. Like, reaaaally, hope. Wait till you discover what tellydildonics are. And why people are 'marrying' robots. And how someone is Perth can use technology to give someone in Sydney (or New York) an orgasm. Again, don't listen Mary. Or Ron. People have long told machines what to do by pushing buttons. Now, with advances in technology, machines are pushing...

I fu*king love Professor Beau Lotto. He's the least academic-y academic I know. He has an amazing ability to explain and explore - what can be - complicated stuff in an uncomplicated way. Among other things, we talk about destination disappointment (why achieving goals rarely equals satisfaction), the relationship between contentment and ambition, why we're addicted to certainty and why that's a p...

In 1,300 episodes, we’ve never had a conversation about respect. Not sure why, because it’s something we all want and value (nobody wants to be disrespected). I want it. So do you. But what are the variables, factors and determinants? Well, here are my thoughts on the thing we all want. Enjoy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was recently on Mark LeBusque's podcast (Simply, Practically, Human) exploring the peaks and troughs, pleasure and pain, mayhem and magic of the human experience. This is our chat. Enjoy. The Simply Practically Human Podcast   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A full circle moment for me... The E-Myth was the first business book I ever read and it taught me about the concept of working 'on' my business and not just 'in' it. For me, it was enlightening, inspiring and transformational. And all these years later, I had the pleasure of chatting with the man who inspired me, Michael Gerber. I seriously love my job. Enjoy.

Apart from being a three-time Olympian, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, five-time World Championship Gold Medalist and five-time Commonwealth Games Gold medalist, Bronte Campbell is also a funny, interesting, intelligent, highly-focused and kind-of philosophical. That was my take anyway. This was an interesting chat with a super-athlete who, at times in her career, has been better than everyone in...

I'm fascinated with the type of relationship people have with their jobs. For some people, it's something to be tolerated, survived and endured until the weekend. Or worse, retirement. For others, it's associated with more positive things like growth, learning, skill development, fun, connection, creativity and satisfaction. As a bloke who hasn't had a 'job' for thirty-four years, I f**king love m...

Doctor Hannah is back for part 8 of our Brain Series (okay, I've been a little slow wheeling them out) and this time, we take a look at what's happening in the brain, mind, body and life of somebody dealing with burnout. We also explore what we might do about it. Enjoy. @nobullpsych   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I loved this conversation with Kate Seselja. So real, raw, vulnerable, educational and to be totally honest, f***ing fascinating. If you don't understand how addictive, powerful and destructive gambling can be, this conversation will enlighten you. thehopeprojectnow.com @the.hope.project See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our resident nerd (Patrick) is back and this time we chat about all-things tech, your bacteria-laden phone, convenience, hygiene, stupidly-fast cars, fake engine noises (in electric cars), home robots for oldies, Google's 25th birthday and lots more. Enjoy. websitenow.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometime I chat with someone and, despite the fact that we've never met, there's an immediate connection, the conversation just happens organically and I feel like I'm hanging out with someone I've known for years. This episode is exactly that. Michael and I covered a lot of interesting territory in the space of business development, the journey to professional speaking, creating and providing val...

In this freestyle rant, I talk about the power of your mind to impact your body in both positive and negative ways. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
