The You Project

In this episode of TYP, Cameron Schwab (former Richmond, Fremantle and Melbourne Football Club CEO) returns and he and Craig explore the fundamentals of communication, connection, emotional intelligence and effective leadership in business, sport, parenting and life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of TYP, Nima Alavi (Compounding Pharmacist) and Craig talk all-things peptides, nootropics (smart drugs), fat-loss, low testosterone, depression, dopamine, detoxing from addiction and an industry dependant on people staying sick. Craig also shares a story about his (one-time-only) experience with a smart drug. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is possibly the deepest, rawest and realest (not a word) Craig has ever gone on the Podcast. It is a teaching, coaching and mentoring session. Alex asks some great questions and Craig freestyles on everything from social media, religion, happiness, critical thinking and dick jokes to behavioural cults, fitting in, insecurity, self-loathing, role models, developing a personal philosophy and so...

For fourteen years, Gavin Crosisca was simultaneously a professional footballer (in the AFL) and an addict. An addict playing 246 senior games with Collingwood, winning a premiership, using drugs on a daily basis, pretending to be ‘normal’ and living a lie to his family, friends and team mates. Sadly, his addiction lasted way longer than his football career but these days he’s clean and sober and...

In this Episode of TYP, Craig sits down with Sam Wood (again) and the boys talk all things personal development, mindset, getting in shape, business, health, fitness and of course, happiness. They also talk about ‘The Bachelor’ a few years down the track, the longest ever fake ‘PR marriage’ (he and Snezana) and the impending birth of their new ‘PR baby’ (due in six days at time of recording). See...

Professor Ian Brighthope is a seeker, pioneer, rebel, educator and in many ways, a square peg in a profession of round holes. In this fascinating chat about all things health, healing, medicine, big pharma, big lies and agendas, the good Prof. drops some truth bombs, shares his story and passion, dispenses some awesome advice and takes aim at some of the people, organisations and issues standing i...

This episode is a share-cast. Craig was recently on the Daily Talk Show with Josh and Tommy and as always, the boys covered plenty of territory in what turned out to be a mix of casual conversation, philosophy, business advice, story-telling and coaching.

Our mind is the platform from where we observe, process and give meaning to, the world around us. It is our operational headquarters. It is the window through which we view and understand life and all its magic, mayhem and messy-ness. Our thoughts are the conduit between our external reality and our internal experience, and in this thoughtful episode (pun intended), Craig shares stories, ideas and...

Rounding off this week's theme of amazing people and their incredible journeys back from the brink, on this episode Craig chats with Terry Mitropoulos: A brain tumour. 13 brain surgeries. A stroke. Temporary loss of speech, sight and hearing. Paralysis. 72 different medications. Depression. 4 years in hospital. Devastated by a superbug. Given 5% of survival and 0% chance of walking and now he's se...

This is not so much a podcast as it is, Craig thinking out loud for a few minutes. It’s something he thought might resonate with his fellow seekers, searchers, students and works-in-progress. And it’s something he hopes will stimulate thought, contemplation, self-awareness and perhaps even a change in thinking, doing and being. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig has finally met his match. She’s funnier, cheekier, chattier, smarter and says fuck more than him. She’s also nineteen years old. Her name is Ciara Nelson and at the age of sixteen, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and given virtually no chance of survival, until she met Neurosurgeon Charlie Teo. Hers is a remarkable story of resilience, courage, love, healing and research (...

John Portelli wasn’t expected to live. On December 1, 2017 he was driving a work vehicle with gas bottles in the back. Those gas bottles exploded, tearing the roof of his ute and shattering windows in surrounding houses. So devastating was the event that, when the emergency services arrived, they suspected it had been an act of terrorism. And so extreme were John’s injuries that he was given almos...

This episode has been stolen from Craig’s ‘Renovate Your Life’ audio program (one of thirty sections) and in it, he talks about the idea of visualising what our life might look, feel and function like a year from now if everything goes to plan (we achieve our goals) and how we might turn that theoretical construct (plan, intention, goal, idea) into a real-world experience and practical outcome. If...

The youngsters call this a ‘share cast’. On it, Craig is interviewed by Russell Jarrett from the Australian Fitness Podcast and discusses staying productive when we can’t be bothered, the need for focus, purpose and meaning, whether we might all be addicted to something, the downside of retirement, the value of doing the hard stuff and lots more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy info...

This is a coaching session that most people will find relevant, if not, invaluable. Possibly, a little confronting. In this episode, Craig talks about everything from self-talk, self-awareness, self-sabotage, self-pity and self-management to metacognition (thinking about thinking), creating a new operating system, cognitive and behavioural programming and taking back your power. Depending on your...

Getting Mary (who is somewhat private and averse to any kind of limelight) on to TYP is one of Craig’s greatest achievements. It’s fair to say ‘The Old Darl’ (as Craig calls her) wasn’t excited at the idea but warmed up as they discussed everything from never having a mum (Mary’s mum died giving birth), being raised by nuns from the age of four at a boarding school, winning ‘Miss Dairymaid’ and go...

Doctor Kal Fried (pronounced Freed) is back on TYP sharing his medical wisdom, stories and insights around health, healing and hysteria. He and Craig go even deeper (than last time) on the ‘what is pain and how does it work’ conversation. For reasons explained during the show, this is a non-swearing episode. You’re fucking welcome. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Craig shares stories from his journey as a fitness industry pioneer. For those of you who don’t know, he opened Australia’s first Personal Training Centre in 1990, wrote the first PT certification course, employed over five hundred trainers, owned four studios (including the largest in the Southern Hemisphere) and personally facilitated over forty thousand PT sessions. Considering...

Nick Farr is co-founder of Resilience Builders and is widely regarded as one of Australia’s most accomplished high altitude athletes and leadership development coaches. He has climbed many of the world’s highest mountains (including Mt Everest) and has led and coached more than one thousand people in challenging high altitude environments. On this episode of TYP, Nick and Craig talk all things min...

Wow, that’s a lot of P’s in one title. Here’s another… Paul O’Brien (Leadership Coach, Ex Police Inspector, Author and Endurance Cyclist) is back on TYP and once again the lads get deep and philosophical, exploring the peaks and troughs, the simplicities and complexities, the light and shade of the human experience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fitness industry pioneer, Tony Doherty has been innovating, creating, contradicting the norm and calling a spade a fucking shovel for three decades. He has a Ph. D in getting shit done and is simultaneously compassionate, terrifying and inspirational. Tony and Craig have been mates for years and as always, they had a great chat. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig sits down with Australia’s best bodybuilder, Josh Lenartowicz, and the boys talk about prepping for the Mr. Olympia, the mind in bodybuilding, dealing with grief (losing his friend Dallas McCarver), his popularity in China, shrinking plane seats, being hangry, his understanding wife (Liz), life post-bodybuilding (with smaller muscles) and impending fatherhood. See omnystudio.com/listener for...

For some people, Pastor Rob Buckingham is not ‘Christian enough’. And more than likely, some of those same people will get mad at him for chatting with the bloke who says fuck. Although Craig commits to a non-swearing Podcast at the start, he only lasts ten minutes. There’s a shock. The boys talk about Rob’s work with Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran (from the ‘Bali Nine’) leading up to their exec...

The other day Craig sat down with Maritza Barone on her Podcast (‘Things You Can’t Un-Hear’) and continuing on with his current pattern of laziness, he’s decided to call her great work, Episode 71 of The You Project. He has no shame. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Craig recently chatted with Jarrod L'estrange on ‘The Super Dad Show’ and because he’s essentially lazy, he said to himself… ‘self, why don’t I put a different label on Jarrod’s podcast and call it Episode 70 of TYP and give m’self an hour off?’. Lazy? Resourceful? Time efficient? Who cares? Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
