In this episode Tiff and I talk about public speaking, from being the nervous, anxious (terrified) amateur to the highly-paid, competent, confident, entertaining, skilful professional. As objective as I can be about a conversation I was in the middle of, I think most people will find it interesting and some will find it helpful and insightful. We go deep on structure, method, style, creating conne...

This was a fascinating chat about happiness; how it works, how it varies from person to person (as an experience), its relationship with self-awareness and gratitude, its relationship with ‘success’ and how it is affected by biology, psychology and sociology. Our guest, Cassie Holmes, is a Professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, she is an expert on time and happiness and also the author...

I recently got together with Tiff on her show (Roll With The Punches) and we chatted all things health, healing, mindset and miracles. Despite the fact that we don’t fully understand placebos or spontaneous healing, there is growing evidence and research to suggest that the mind can play a crucial role in physical health, longevity, immune system function and even seemingly miraculous recoveries....

Tommy’s back at TYP unpacking the meaningful and meaningless (but amusing) with me and this time we talk about the massive surge of teenage boys lifting heavy sh*t (and stinking up the gym), Tommy’s new found love for the sauna and ice bath protocol, the challenge of trying not to assume in a world full of assumptions, cruise ship morgues (this topic was all Tommy), business storytelling and maxim...

According to Sergey, we are on the brink of a Longevity Revolution, with new scientific discoveries and exciting technological advances now making it possible to reverse aging and treat previously incurable diseases. Helping people to live long, healthy, and happy lives is his lifelong (pun intend...

Apart from winning a Gold Logie, hosting Family Feud, The great Australian Spelling Bee, Million Dollar Minute, It Takes Two, Dancing with the Stars, Game of Games, being a contestant on a million other shows, racing V8 supercars, working in radio, winning Dancing with the Stars and being a hubby and dad, Grant Denyer has done f**k all. His wife (Chezzi) on the other hand, is a complete Champ. Thi...

Jason Feifer is the editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine, a podcast host, book author, keynote speaker, startup advisor and nonstop optimism machine. Jason and I chatted about the importance of being adaptable, being okay with ‘being bad’ at things (on our way to being good), meaningful work, lessons learned through failure, why comfort and convenience might not be as great as we think they ar...

Nutrition Bloke (and food detective) Matty Lansdown is back and this time we chat about Glycemic Index (is it still a thing?), navigating restaurant eating, his recommended cooking oils, dairy and inflammation, misleading (super-dodgey) food labels, bulking agents in used food products (yuck!), why Matty eats spirulina by the kilo, the difference between weight loss and fat loss, artificial sweete...

I thought this chat with Olympic gold (and bronze) medallist and five-time Olympian Lydia Lassila would be all about high-performance, mindset and winning… but it wasn’t. It was better. It was about her super fascinating life in Northern Finland with her two boys and hubby. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Sissons is a Tactical Commander and Visionary Leader of high-performance teams. He has an unparalleled depth of experience having led numerous teams into over 1,500 of New Zealand’s highest risk situations and numerous overseas operations, over his thirty-year career in policing. This was a great chat with a bloke who has spent decades putting his life on the line (literally), being shot at...

This is a coaching session about you and your potential. How to understand it, develop it and optimise it. It’s also about getting out of your own way and not allowing your BS to stand between you and what’s possible (for you). If you’re ready to step out of the holding pattern and into your potential, listen up. If you’re after some warm, fluffy, feel-good, everyone-gets-a-ribbon (type of) messag...

This episode was fun. And a little scary. There’s some concerning sh*t on the technological horizon and one day soon, fake Harps might well be hosting the show and nobody will know the difference! Scary. Among other things, we talk about computers being developed using human brain cells (WTF!), the world of fake audio, video and imagery that’s about to hijack our lives, super clever phone scams, P...

This episode with money expert Jason Cunningham was not what either of us expected it to be. It was much better. As much as possible (and is practical) I try not to plan the conversations I have with guests but I guess we both thought we’d talk primarily about money, business, career, etc. We didn’t. What transpired was a deep and philosophical about dealing with hard sh*t (which he has been for t...

David Gillespie, one of Australia’s best-selling Authors, is back and this time we talk about the potential relationship between ADHD and addiction, how quickly we become adapted to certain drugs (and need more and more), the drugs used (and supplied by governments) during the first and second World Wars to ‘keep the soldiers focused’ (amazing stuff), why breaking an addiction is so difficult (whi...

Karen Jacobsen is ‘Siri’. Well, more accurately, she’s the voice of Siri. She’s also the Sat-Nav lady. She’s been telling me (and a billion others) where to go for years and I didn’t even know it. No wonder she sounded familiar. Karen is also a brilliant musician, songwriter and performer who has played all over the world with huge names (Norah Jones, Neil Sedaka, Jon English and Christopher Cross...

Dr. Lillian Nejad is back at TYP and this time we unpack mind fads, cliche memes, self-help that doesn’t help, delaying gratification, why I’m not special, how much empathy is too much, pushing the pleasure button, doing hard things, being positive but also practical and lots more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Claire Turnbull is the founder of Mission Nutrition, a TV presenter, professional speaker, wellbeing educator and a published author. And like me, she has dealt with a sh*t-fest of challenges around body image, eating issues, self-sabotage, unhealthy habits and behaviours, self-esteem, self-worth and toxic thinking (about it all). These days she’s out the other side and uses her considerable knowl...

After way too long, Pete Shepherd is back at TYP and this time we discuss the pain and pleasure, peaks and troughs, breakdowns and breakthroughs of tapping into our power, potential and possibilities. This was a fun chat and I think it will resonate with most of you. Enjoy. humanperiscope.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the term ‘High Performance’ is used, it’s typically referring to people, teams and organisations who are at the top of their respective field (sport, business, science, entertainment) and those who are doing something that the majority won’t or can’t. And while I’ve worked with many of these types of ‘high performers’ (and had a great time), the type of high performance that fascinates me is...

I was recently on Simply Practically Human with Mark LeBusque and we enjoyed a meandering chat about fear, motivation, cheerleaders, talent, potential, values, feedback, self-regulation, mediocrity and what we can achieve with what we’ve been given.
