The You Project

Bobby Cappuccio is a popular and inspirational TYP regular but this episode is different to our normal chats. Sure, we talk (a little) about all the normal do-think-be better (personal development) stuff but not long into this unscripted (as always) chat, Bobby began to go deep into some of his personal journey. It’s not always easy listening but ultimately, his story is one of resilience and surv...

This was instantly one of my favourite TYP chats. Ever. Even in the middle of it, I didn’t want it to end. After five hundred plus episodes, it’s straight into my all-time top 5. Moran Cerf is one of the most fascinating, interesting and brilliant people I’ve ever interviewed. He is a professor in both Business and Neuroscience, a researcher, author, speaker and something of a scientific adventure...

Mark LeBusque from the Simply Practically Human Podcast has been kind enough to tolerate me on his show for a six-week series that we’re recording each Saturday morning at coffee o’clock. This was instalment one and because I recorded it eight days ago (as I write this), I have no idea what it’s about. Probably stuff about humans, behaviour, thinking, transformation and growth. There’s a shock. Pr...

I don’t even know where to begin with this episode overview because Paul Taylor and I covered about a thousand topics in this lengthy (two-part) conversation.
