The You Project

TYP Favourite Carly Taylor is back and this time we go deep on everything from stoicism, journaling, metacognition, virtues and values (the difference) and choosing discomfort to parenting, doing a ‘belief’ audit, cold showers, the unhealthy need for approval and the physiology of fear.

The charming, funny and brutally honest Tracy Bartram is back on TYP and this time we cover everything from addiction, obsession, ADHD, the oldest profession in the world and Tracy’s ideal bloke (whom she hopes to meet at the TYP Conference later this year), to making amends, making people laugh, the need for germs and her upcoming foray into the world of Podcasting. Enjoy. www.tracybartram.com.au...

This episode is what happens when it’s Saturday arvo and the guest for our Sunday episode pulls the pin an hour earlier. It probably won’t change your life, solve your problems or inspire you to greatness, but I always enjoy having a casual on-air chat with the poster girl for introverts; Melissa. Among other things, we speak about our individual eating issues (there are plenty), Melissa (who hate...

Imagine a Pharmacist who actively discourages people away from the chemical highway and towards a path of something far less synthetic and pill-shaped. A Bloke who spent years learning and training, only to discover that the ‘job’ didn’t resonate with his heart, connect with his soul or align with his inner guidance system. Well, Niraj Naik is that bloke. From pills, powders and prescriptions, to...

Lisa Westlake is something on an icon of Australian Fitness and Health. And a friend of mine. As both a highly-regarded Physiotherapist and a nationally recognised Fitness Professional, Lisa has been working at the coal face of health, healing, function and fitness for more than three decades, empowering Aussies to live their best lives, through optimal health. This was a fun chat with a nice mix...

This is my surprise episode of the year (so far). To be honest, I was wondering how I might fill an hour talking to a bloke about breathing but in the end, we literally ran out of time and I was totally fascinated with what Patrick McKeown had to say. So, we’re all pretty good at breathing. Most of us have been doing it for quite a while but who knew that the ‘way’ we breathe (you mean there’s a b...

A few years ago, I turned some of my words into a video. Well, Tommy Jackett did. Anyway, those words seemed to resonate with quite a few people and that video went (kind-of) viral, with almost a million views through (mainly) Facebook. Today’s mini-podcast is the audio from that video (with a backing track) and I don’t often say that I like my own work but, after hearing it today for the first ti...

The inspiration behind the title will become apparent during the conversation. Apart from being one of my Mates, Francis is also one of Australia’s most respected journalists, working in all mediums (TV, Radio, Newspapers, Online) and inhabiting spaces as diverse a politics, music, sport and industry. In this interesting chat, Francis and I talk about everything from echo chambers, keyboard warrio...

To be honest, this was something of a conversational smorgasbord that neither Melissa or I were really in control of. We finally got around to the intended topic (communication) but beforehand, we covered a lot of weird territory, including Melissa’s girl-crush on Oprah, me being dragged to a Tony Robbins gig, Eckhart Tolle doing my head in at a live event and the science of writing a self-help bo...

This is the last bit of three. Among other questions, we explored… what’s the one trait that you keep seeing in people who start their own business? How do you trust again when all trust is broken? How to get past the guilt of putting yourself first? What’s more important work on; the body or the mind? How do we know we are living in alignment? How do you know that enough is enough and it’s time f...

The Energiser Bunny that is Richard Beddie (Head Honcho of Exercise NZ) is back going deeper and harder on all things fitness, training, performance, health and mindset. BTW, he does speak ridiculously fast, so you may want to have a coffee (or some other stimulant) before you listen. exercisenz.org.nz richardbeddie.co.nz See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I’m loving TYP at the moment; we seem to be on a roll with great guests and conversations and while this bloke has been on a bunch, this chat was refreshing, revealing and as always, amusing and authentic. He was definitely ‘up and about’ (as he would say) for this chat. Among other things, we spoke about Geoff’s ‘life re-set’, coming out of the ‘mania’ of obsession and addiction and into the calm...

This is one of my favourite episodes this year. Maybe, all the years. Harry Sanders is an extraordinary young man, doing extraordinary things. I don’t want to give too much away (and ruin the story) but I came away from this conversation feeling inspired, energised and to be honest, somewhat amazed. Enjoy.

This episode was a conversation between Melissa and I about the peaks and troughs, challenges and lessons, wins and losses, breakdowns and breakthroughs of our podcasting journey with The You Project (our fourth attempt at a podcast). It’s fair to say that, four hundred episodes in (plus a hundred or so pre TYP), we still don’t have it all sorted and we’re still learning but thankfully, we seem to...

Dr. Tami Roos has a PhD in Parapsychic Science, so it’s not surprising that we slid into some ‘woo-woo’ moments during this chat. Among other things, we spoke about the metaphoric intersection where all things logical, rational and practical collide with all things intuitive and spiritual, or as Tami calls it, ‘The Divine System’. She even took us through a meditative, calming breathing exercise i...

I loved this conversation with Barbara Arrowsmith Young. Such a privilege to chat with someone who is a world-renowned pioneer, researcher and authority in the area of brain training, brain science and neuroplasticity. At the age of six (in the 1950’s) Barbara was diagnosed as having a ‘mental block’, which these days would more accurately be described as, a severe learning disability. Since that...

Mel Tempest is a strong, powerful, no BS woman who grew up in the middle of danger, violence and uncertainty, who was discarded by her mother at eight, who left school at fourteen, who dealt with constant rejection and fear and who, at the age of eighteen, experienced the death of her first child; passing away thirty minutes after being born. Mel is a cancer survivor, a disruptor, a gym owner, awa...

Bobby Cappuccio is back to discuss what frustrates him about the self-help ‘industry’ (programs, products, promotions, promises), how we might navigate our way through the industry bullsh*t (and bullsh*tters) and why he’s started a podcast called ‘The Self-Help Antidote’.

In this episode of TYP, Nick Bowditch and I discover that we might be brothers from another mother. It’s seems we have a lot of the same issues, idiosyncrasies, stories and self-doubt. Along the way we discuss the importance of training our brain, age-appropriate behaviour, dealing with praise, self-promotion, starting a speaking career, being a loner, avoiding intimacy and lots more. nickbowditch...
