#2030 My New Favourite Singer - Fran the Singer 49:02

Play Pause

11h ago49:02

49:02

So, I happened across an amazing voice on Instagram (@franthesinger) and like a total anonymous loser, I reached out on the IG message thingy and said something clumsy and not-cool to the very-cool singer from New York like "hey Fran, you're ace, do you want to be on my podcast?" To my total surprise and delight, she said "yes." I absolutely loved …

#2029 The 'Hard' Scale - Harps & Kelly 1:00:37

1d ago1:00:37

1:00:37

What's hard anyway? Is it a universal standard? Or is it a subjective evaluation, experience or attitude? Could my 'hard' be your 'easy'? Could your 10 out of 10 'hard' become a 'not hard at all' over time? Does hard exist as an independent thing or is it just a personal story we tell ourselves? In this chat with Kelly, we unpack the psychology, em…

#2028 Managing Mayhem - Bobby Cappuccio 51:06

2d ago51:06

51:06

Ever wondered why some people thrive in high-pressure situations while others crumble under everyday stress? In this episode Tiff, Bobby and I explore the paradox of how we respond to different levels of crisis in - what can seem to be - an over or under reaction. Enjoy.

#2027 Transhumanism - Dr. Jeff Gross 44:01

3d ago44:01

44:01

Imagine having tech implanted in your head that connects your brain to the internet - meaning you could have both Y.I. (You Intelligence) and A.I. in your head at the same time. Well, it's coming. Apart from that terrifying prospect, Dr. Jeff, Tiff and I talk about reversing ageing, creating human tissue in the lab to treat injuries, grounding (fee…

#2026 New Breast Cancer Research - David Gillespie 32:31

4d ago32:31

32:31

To be honest, I felt a little unqualified (and I am) to have this chat exploring the potential relationship between women who do or don't breastfeed, and how that might affect their chances of being affected by breast cancer. Nonetheless, it was an important and fascinating conversation which was prompted by some very recent research. Enjoy. See om…

#2025 Delaying Gratification - Dr. Jodi Richardson 53:03

5d ago53:03

53:03

In a world motivated and manipulated by the idea and reality of instant gratification, getting people to 'wait' when the dopamine button is right in front of them ain't easy. This is a chat about that and lots more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.By Craig Harper

#2024 The Power Of Play - Cas Holman 56:15

6d ago56:15

56:15

"You're such a child" are words I've had directed at me for the entirety of my adult life. And to that I say, "correct." Just ask my mum. Without play, without fun, without creativity, I would be pretty miserable. Living a life of meaning, purpose and service (if that's of interest to you), doesn't need to come at the cost of play. In fact, the inc…

#2023 "I've Done My Research" - Dr. Bill Sullivan 40:10

7d ago40:10

40:10

In the world of social media memes, madness and mayhem, the claim "I've done my research" is usually a euphemism for the far more accurate "I read, heard or watched something on the internet." In this TYP instalment, Professor Bill and I chat about the recent media hysteria around an alleged link between Tylenol (paracetamol in Australia) and autis…

#2022 WTF is Hardiness? - Dr. Paul Taylor 55:46

8d ago55:46

55:46

Nope, it's not resilience. And nope, it's not grit. Or discipline. Or will power. They might all live in the same psychological suburb but only hardiness is hardiness. Paul Taylor (with his brand-new shiny PhD.) is back at TYP chatting about his new book (The Hardiness Effect) and sharing the inspiration and education with the usual abundance of fa…

#2021 Self-Worth - Kelly, Tiff & Harps 38:30

9d ago38:30

38:30

Self-worth is the fundamental sense of your own value and significance as a person, independent of achievements, appearance, status, or others' approval - well, according to the dictionary that's what it's meant to be anyway. But away from the 'theory' it seems that for many of us, our version of self-worth is actually intertwined with the very thi…

#2020 It's Not Really About Tech Is It? - Patrick Bonello 56:44

10d ago56:44

56:44

"It's not really about tech is it?" That's what someone asked (told?) me today, when talking to me about the fortnightly 'Patrick' episodes. To which I replied, "nah, not really." Of course, we have an intention to talk tech each time - and I even have a Patrick-supplied list of relevant topics - but mostly the conversation descends into some kind …

#2019 WTF is a "Coach?" - Bobby Cappuccio 1:03:52

11d ago1:03:52

1:03:52

WTF is a coach? Business coaches. Life coaches. Performance coaches. Health coaches. Financial coaches (yep!). So many coaches. Who are they? Where did they come from? How did they become one? Are there any regulations? Specific qualifications? Do I need one? Should I avoid them? Have they been successful themselves? What does 'good coaching' look …

#2018 Your Operating Manual - Dr. Cam McDonald 51:40

12d ago51:40

51:40

Trying to understand how our individual mind, brain, emotions, and body respond to, and interact with, the myriad stimuli in a typical day - work, exercise, food, people, weather, environment, events - is an ever-present challenge. Trying to understand how to "optimise" ourselves in the middle of all that, is even tougher. That's what this chat wit…

#2017 Is Your Fear Hijacking Your Potential? - Andrea Leigh Rogers 52:37

13d ago52:37

52:37

I’m surprised that Andrea Leigh Rogers is not perpetually exhausted. She done, and continues to do, a lot! This was a fun episode with someone who has optimised and operationalised her skill, talent, energy, intellect, and opportunities more than most. Positive, practical, and passionate, I loved chatting with her. It dawned on me during this chat …

#2016 Is Your Job Bad For Your Health? - Dr. Lillian Nejad 49:57

14d ago49:57

49:57

I'm pretty sure my job is good for my health because for the most part, it gives me joy, fulfilment, growth, connection, meaning and purpose. Of course there's some unavoidable crap but overall, the good far outweighs the bad. And l'm grateful. Dr. Lillian is back and this time we chat about how our work (role, environment, boss, culture, responsib…

#2015 Life After War - Heston Russell 49:18

16d ago49:18

49:18

Hi Team, today we’re revisiting one of my favourite eps with Heston Russell. Heston is a Retired Special Forces Major, who after 16 years in the military and over 100 combat missions serving within the Special Forces, found his way to TYP Central for a chat and it (the conversation) was a revelation, inspiration and in some ways, not what I expecte…

#2014 Kelly's Back! - Kelly Smith 52:56

18d ago52:56

52:56

Kelly Smith is back from her overseas jaunt and back at TYP sharing the love and banging questions my (and Tiff’s) way. I may have gotten a little evangelical and bossy with a few of my responses, so if you don’t feel like a ‘be all you can be’ (type of) coaching moment with the only child, see you tomorrow. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy …

#2013 Transcranial Electrical Stimulation - David Gillespie 27:04

19d ago27:04

27:04

This time around, we chat about Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (TES) - say that ten times fast. The TGA has just approved TES for treating things like mental health (anxiety, depression, addiction), physical pain, motor learning issues, stroke recovery and fatigue. We also talk about carrots, Tiff's anger issues, and David's lack of respect fo…

21d ago43:51

43:51

Tiff and I head down a philosophical rabbit hole in this one, chatting about life design, contentment, climbing the mountain, who we are when nobody's watching, why we don't change (even when we want to), understanding our mind, escaping our mind and lots more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

#2010 My New Favourite Episode - Jane O'Brien 1:11:52

22d ago1:11:52

1:11:52

*Hi Everyone!! Before you listen to this, just a quick heads-up... my guest Jane has a vocal cord injury which means her voice is relatively quiet, so it might take a little more listening effort than normal... also, her internet connection and microphone weren't awesome which means there are a few small gaps. Jane is a good friend of mine, former …

#2009 Self-Driving Cars - Patrick Bonello 1:00:37

23d ago1:00:37

1:00:37

For the bloke who’s allegedly our resident ’Tech Expert’, Patrick has quite the ability to not talk about technology for most of the episode. I blame Tiff. And Patrick. It’s definitely not me. Nonetheless, this was a lot of fun. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.By Craig Harper

#2008 Stepping Off The Medical Treadmill - Dr. Avi Charlton 51:40

Dr. Avi is a GP, speaker, author, and thought leader in lifestyle medicine. She is the founder of Melbourne Low Carb Clinic and Breathe …

#2006 The Red Panda Of TYP - Harps & Melissa 1:24:33

26d ago1:24:33

1:24:33

So, it seems that three-hours is quite the time commitment, especially when it comes to listening to a single podcast, like episode 2,000. With that feedback ringing in my ears, today I'm sharing just the 'Melissa part' of that verbal marathon as a stand-alone episode for the many who missed out on the Queen of TYP (AKA my boss). For my newer liste…

#2005 Stepping Into Awareness & Consciousness - Harps & Tiff 55:31

27d ago55:31

55:31

Sometimes it feels like we're doing life on autopilot and often, that's because we are. Same habits, patterns, choices, actions, conversations, broken promises (often to ourselves) and outcomes that didn't really 'work' the last ten thousand times. But nonetheless, we find ourselves in day ten thousand and one, like a character in a story we didn't…

#2004 Folate, Paracetamol & Pregnancy - David Gillespie 28:34

28d ago28:34

28:34

This was a fascinating conversation about some medical news (controversy?) currently doing the rounds about pregnant women supplementing with folate and a potential link to gestational diabetes and (in other news...) pregnant women using paracetamol for pain management and a potential link to Autism (according a certain President). I'm sure you kno…

#2003 The Escalating Shouting Match - Harps 31:05

29d ago31:05

31:05

Why is meaningful discussion between people with different views so rare? I think this is an important and timely question, so I decided to unpack it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.By Craig Harper

#2002 Life Situation vs. Life Experience - Bobby Cappuccio 51:07

1M ago51:07

51:07

From the outside looking in, some people appear to be winning at life. But sometimes the curtain gets pulled back only to reveal that things aren't as they seem. At all. A picture of success externally, but chaos, mayhem and discontent internally. So, is success about what people can see, or what they can't? Or maybe it's a combination of the two? …

#2001 It's Not Just Bro-Science - Dr. Jeff Gross 46:43

1M ago46:43

46:43

Not too long ago, biohacking was the (apparent) domain of weirdos, whack-jobs and cultural outliers. In 2025, it's moving from weird to normal and from "that's ridiculous" to "tell me how that works again." In this episode, Dr. Jeff and I explore the ever-evolving development and acceptance of biohacking - and some other related topics. **Biohackin…

#2000 How Long!! - Tiff, Melissa & Harps 2:52:08

1M ago2:52:08

2:52:08

Of course I'm talking about episode duration and I guess we're about to find out if almost three hours is excessive, because that's how long it took us (Tiff, Melissa, Me) to reflect on eight years and two thousand episodes of The You Project. As objective as I can be (not very) about something I was in the middle of, I think this might be in our a…

#1998 "Scared and Courageous" - Harps 28:08

1M ago28:08

28:08

I recently heard Tom Cruise (that great philosopher) say "I'm not afraid of being afraid." I know it's simplistic, but I love it. It really resonates with me. It's a statement, a lightbulb moment, and a piece of advice, wrapped in six words. I love the mindset that says "of course I'm scared, and that's totally fine." The idea that we can co-exist …

#1997 Do Ethics Exist In Business? - Patrick Bonello 54:53

1M ago54:53

1M ago55:20

The reason for the weird title will become apparent but I can tell you that it has something to do with Tourette's. Well, that cleared that up. And in other news.. Mr Tourette's (and OCD and ADHD) joined me from San Diego and not surprisingly, it was a conversational version of fifteen puppies being unleashed in a Yoga class (you've seen that video…

Our favourite Geneticist - Dr. Denise Furness - is back and this time we throw the door wide open on all-things human optimisation, with a specific focus on how we might lower our biological age and 'get younger.' We discuss the variables and factors that influence and determine whether or not we are old (or young) for our age. That is, chronology …

#1994 The Psychology of Enough - Harps and Tiff 51:07

1M ago51:07

51:07

When and what, is enough? How do you personally define "enough," and why is it such a slippery concept for most people? What psychological or evolutionary forces push humans to constantly seek "more"? How does hedonic adaptation play into our perpetual dissatisfaction with achievements or possessions? In what ways do social media and comparison cul…

Part of my life-long journey, has involved me trying to talk louder than my self-doubt and inner critic, overcoming my imposter syndrome, working through my fear, starting things even when I didn’t 'feel' ready (never ready), choosing the narrow path, reprogramming my mind, and working relentlessly to develop a level of confidence, in order to succ…

#1990 Strategic 'Friends' Or Actual Friends? - Kelly & Harps 58:43

2M ago58:43

58:43

What or who, makes a good friend? Is it someone who says nice things behind your back? What are the attributes of healthy and unhealthy friendships? Does your friend always need to tell you what you want to hear? What if their honest feedback is something you don't want to hear? Should they hold back or speak up? And what about those 'friends' who …

#1989 Mirror Neurons, Ninja Cats & Psychopaths - David Gillespie 37:41

2M ago37:41

37:41

This episode revealed to the world that Tiff has a history of dating psychopaths. Fortunately, it seems to be a phase she's now moved through but nonetheless, our resident Rain Man (Gillespo) was able to provide Tiff with some insights into (1) why she may have done that and (2) how to avoid it happening in the future. We also covered a range of we…

#1988 Ed From TradeMutt - Ed Ross 34:25

This was a fascinating chat about the way that two tradies (and their tribe) have used a personal tragedy (the suicide of a Mate) as the impetus to create something quite unique - a social impact workwear brand (I didn't even know they were a thing!). Over the last nine years they have helped thousand of tradies, truckies and in broad terms, blue c…

1:02:14

Doctor Lillian Nejad pulled the ‘ol Switcheroo this time around at TYP Central. She sat herself in the host chair and fired a bevy of questions at me, in order to gain some insight into the inner workings and dark recesses of my mind. And while I'm accustomed to being interviewed, it's a different proposition when the 'interviewer' crawling down th…

Hi TYP’ers. Today we’re revisiting one of my favourite chats with Debbie Millman.

2M ago1:02:06

1:02:06

In this episode, Tiff, Patrick and I talk about the f**kery that's afoot with the government making electric vehicles not such an attractive proposition and moving the goalposts a little. We discuss the downside and danger of social media 'vigilantes', the impending social media ban for kids under sixteen (what sh*t storm?), why you might need to c…

#1984 Tim & I Are Sh*T Employees - Tim Jack Adams 1:00:42

2M ago1:00:42

Tim Jack Adams' parents couldn't settle on a first name, so they gave him three. Alright, I'll stop. Sorry Tim.

In this instalment of TYP, Pete Shepherd, Tiff and the Problem Child talk about Seth Godin's Purple Cow concept (what it is and why it matters), the 'um' epidemic (the Spakfilla of conversation), how crazy-fast little kids learn (Pete has a two-year-old), knowing when and how to change the direction and energy of a conversation (or presentation) wh…

This was an interesting and fun chat with Dr. Cam and Tiff, where we explored the concept of learning in safe and unsafe spaces, exercise induced orgasms (they're a thing), the risk of giving only positive feedback, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, kids giving 'feedback' to their parents (would it work?), the changing landscape and culture of ed…

2M ago47:43

When we're in the middle of stress, anxiety, pressure and all the mental and emotional mayhem that comes with it, sometimes it feels like we re going to die. But according to Dr. Rebecca Heiss, we can actually use stress and fear to improve our lives. We can build a different relationship with it and use it as a positive, a tool for change and even…
