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

Play Pause

3d 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

#2012 Technology Facilitated Abuse - Nicole Liddell 57:53

10h ago57:53

57:53

This is an uncomfortable but important topic to explore because unfortunately, it's a phenomenon that is not only widespread, but it's also on the rise. According to PhD researcher (and TYP regular) Nicole Liddell, an ever-increasing number of people (mostly women) are being subjected to different forms of coercive control, manipulation and abuse v…

#2011 Context, Perspective, Gratitude - Harps & Tiff 43:51

1d 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

2d 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 …

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

4d ago51:40

51:40

For this TYP instalment I sat down with Dr. Avi Charlton and talked all-things wellness, nutrition, optimal health and why she stepped away from the mainstream medical model to better treat and serve her patients. Dr. Avi is a GP, speaker, author, and thought leader in lifestyle medicine. She is the founder of Melbourne Low Carb Clinic and Breathe …

#2007 Brain Food - Bobby Cappuccio 52:12

5d ago52:12

52:12

This time at TYP Central, Bobby and I chat about the myriad of variables which impact the way our brain works (or doesn't work), with a specific focus on the relationship between nutrition and cognitive performance. Oh, and lots of other stuff. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

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

6d 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

7d 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…

1
#2004 Folate, Paracetamol & Pregnancy - David Gillespie 28:34

8d 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…

1
#2003 The Escalating Shouting Match - Harps 31:05

9d 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

1
#2002 Life Situation vs. Life Experience - Bobby Cappuccio 51:07

10d 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

12d 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

14d 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…

#1999 Navigating Grief - Rachel Pope 1:05:58

15d ago1:05:58

1:05:58

Rachel Pope is back at TYP Central exploring one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented of human experiences - grief. These are tough, but important and helpful conversations, which are - unfortunately - relevant to all of us at some stage. Rachel's book is called 'Gifts from Grief: A Journey Back Home.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privac…

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

16d 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 …

1
#1997 Do Ethics Exist In Business? - Patrick Bonello 54:53

17d ago54:53

54:53

Another amalgamation of tech talk, laughs, health stuff, Al, inappropriate innuendo (of course), and an uncharacteristic amount of philosophical conversation. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.By Craig Harper

#1996 When You Need A Wee, But You're In The Car - Bobby Cappuccio 55:20

19d ago55:20

55:20

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…

#1995 Young For Your Age - Dr. Denise Furness 49:21

20d ago49:21

49:21

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 …

1
#1994 The Psychology of Enough - Harps and Tiff 51:07

21d 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…

#1993 Alzheimer's: Could There Be A Cure? - Dr. Bill Sullivan 45:39

22d ago45:39

45:39

Dr Bill Sullivan is not only a TYP regular (lucky us), but he’s also a world-class geneticist and infectious-disease researcher, from Indiana University School of Medicine. This time the Prof and I chat about new research from Harvard that could be life-changing for Alzheimer's sufferers. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

#1992 Building Confidence - Harps 39:35

23d ago39:35

39:35

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…

#1991 Design & Life Experience - Geoff Jowett 32:59

24d ago32:59

32:59

Hi Team, I’m a bit under the weather today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with a brand new episode. In the meantime, we’re revisiting one of my all-time favourite conversations with TYP regular, Geoff Jowett. I’ve known Geoff for a long time; through his mayhem years of drugs, booze, big business, bodybuilding, TV appearances, self-destruction and inst…

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

25d 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 …

1
#1989 Mirror Neurons, Ninja Cats & Psychopaths - David Gillespie 37:41

27d 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…

1
#1988 Ed From TradeMutt - Ed Ross 34:25

28d ago34:25

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…

#1987 The Ol' Switcheroo - Dr. Lillian Nejad 1:02:14

29d ago1:02:14

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…

#1986 A Life Of Design - Debbie Millman 41:45

1M ago41:45

41:45

Hi TYP’ers. Today we’re revisiting one of my favourite chats with Debbie Millman. She was a delight; super smart, awesome energy, engaging, creatively brilliant and despite her enormous success, totally grounded and authentic. I loved this chat. Graphic Design USA named her one of the most influential designers of our times. She is the president em…

#1985 Are EV'S Worth It? - Patrick Bonello 1:02:06

1M 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

1M ago1:00:42

1:00:42

Tim Jack Adams' parents couldn't settle on a first name, so they gave him three. Alright, I'll stop. Sorry Tim. And in other news... we actually had a great chat about finding our career path and purpose, exploiting our potential, why we were both sh*t employees, Tim's winding path into supporting and empowering Aussies on their wellness journey, e…

1
#1983 'Um' - The Conversational Spakfilla - Pete Shepherd 52:42

1M ago52:42

52:42

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…

1
#1982 Dr. Cam's Dark Alley - Dr. Cam McDonald 49:41

1M ago49:41

49:41

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…

#1981 "But Did You Die?" - Dr. Rebecca Heiss 47:43

1M ago47:43

47:43

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…

1
#1980 The Show That God Hijacked - Harps & Tiff 1:05:30

1M ago1:05:30

1:05:30

This was perhaps the deepest I've ever gone, and the most vulnerable l've ever been in twenty-plus years of broadcasting on radio, TV and of course, podcasts. It's not a sale's pitch for God or religion - so panic not - but it is a conversation that I believe asks and explores some really big questions, ideas, and issues. I think this will be some …

#1979 Dear Kate Weaver - Harps & Tiff 1:13:46

1M ago1:13:46

1:13:46

Dear Kate Weaver, hi (waving emoji), it's Harps from The You Project. So, last week I did an episode about exercise and you messaged me via our TYP Facebook page. You quite rightly pointed out that I typically aim those (training-type) episodes more towards beginners. With that in mind, you asked if I could record something for people with a few mo…

#1978 Choose Your Hard - Dr Sam Casey 50:11

1M ago50:11

50:11

Dr Sam and Tiff joined me for another dive into the human experience in all its wonder and weirdness, and we spoke about the increasing prevalence of burnout and what we might do about it. We also discussed 'choosing your hard', the weird social credits that (seem) to come with proudly wearing the 'busy badge', the idea of things - other than food …

1
#1977 The 4WD of Humans - David Gillespie 29:18

1M ago29:18

29:18

In this episode, Gillespo describes boys and men as the four-wheel drive (4WD) version of humans. It was kind of an insult-compliment combo. It'll make sense when you listen. This was a comfortable and very informal ramble but I think you'll enjoy it. Among others things, we spoke about similarities and dissimilarities between the males and females…

#1976 Exercise: How Much, How Hard, How Often? - Harps 38:03

1M ago38:03

38:03

For some of you who are reasonably advanced with your training, knowledge and results, this episode might not be for you. Having said that, I think there's something in here for anyone at any level - even if it's as a reminder, reinforcement or perhaps to consider something familiar through a different lens. The language is non-jargon-y, beginner-f…

#1975 Helping People To Help Themselves - Dr. Lillian Nejad 52:44

1M ago52:44

52:44

Helping people to help themselves is broadly speaking, my job description. The same is true for Dr. Lillian and Tiff. It’s literally what I (try to) do every day. Every podcast. Speaking gig. Coaching session. Social media message. And back in the day, every one of my 50,000 (plus) PT sessions. So the Doc, Tiff and I got together and chatted about …

#1974 Outsourcing Our Thinking - Kelly & Harps 1:09:20

1M ago1:09:20

1:09:20

To what extent should we let Al 'think' for us? What are the myriad of ways we'll use it, in an attempt to make our lives easier? To do less work? Invest less energy? Use less brain power? And what might the potential ‘handing over of power, responsibility and work' do to our minds? Specifically, our cognitive function? Our resilience? Our mental a…

#1973 My Thoughts On 'High-Performance' - Harps 40:33

2M ago40:33

40:33

This episode is a kind-of coaching sesh that some will dig, and others, not-so-much. This type of content and thinking-out-loud is the sh*t that lights my fire. I have a different take on high performance to most. Not better or worse, just different. For me and many people I've worked with, it is a more practical, relatable and useful approach. But…

1
#1972 AI: The Good & Bad - Patrick Bonello 55:44

2M ago55:44

55:44

Patrick's back pumping up the tech-talk and while we enjoyed some of our regular conversational mayhem and silliness, I will say that this time around, we also tackled so of the less pleasant issues, topics and problems arising in the Al - and more broadly speaking, tech-space. While Al is an incredible resource with ever-expanding capabilities, it…

1
#1971 When The Healthy Thing Becomes The Unhealthy Thing - Dr. Jodi Richardson 55:25

2M ago55:25

55:25

Well, this was R-rated straight outta the gate, so if you're easily offended don't f**king listen to this. Dr. Jodi and Tiff did their best to keep the chat on track, but the only child kept yanking on the conversational wheel. Shocker. Fortunately, out of the mayhem came a conversation that I think most people will enjoy; one where we explored the…

#1970 Understanding Self-Sabotage - Shirzad Chamine 53:40

2M ago53:40

53:40

Shirzad Chamine is a Stanford lecturer, NY Times bestselling author of 'Positive Intelligence, brilliant thinker, communicator, and teacher, and I loved getting to meet and chat with him. If you don't ever self-sabotage, self-loath, over-think or get in the way of your own ambitions, potential, or happiness, then don't listen to this. But... you kn…

#1969 Who We Are vs. Who We Want To Be - Harps & Tiff 1:00:07

2M ago1:00:07

1:00:07

It's the week of the co-share, here at TYP. First it was the Andrew May experience, and now we open the Tiff Cook door, as Roll With The Punches and TYP collide in a symphony of information, education, philosophy, psychology, and story-telling, mixed with a liberal smattering of conversational bulls**t. Of course. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener…

#1968 Two Crusty Old Coaches - Andrew May 1:02:50

2M ago1:02:50

1:02:50

The other day I sat down (virtually) with the brilliant Andrew May on his ‘Performance Intelligence’ podcast and because it was interesting, insightful and fun, we decided to do a ‘co-share’ - on Channel Craig and Channel Andrew - so the world wouldn’t miss the gold. And the egos. Nah, I’m pretty sure it was a very listenable chat. Enjoy. andrewmay…

#1967 Looking At Your Filter, Not Through It - Bobby Cappuccio 41:41

2M ago41:41

41:41

Another casual and illuminating ramble with the great man from the other side of the globe. This time Bobby and I explore self-awareness, uncertainty, 5-year plans, building confidence, competence, and skill. And we also discuss the logic behind the co-existence of kindness, empathy, and a little bit of - "don't f**k with me" (when required) - all …

1
#1966 Migraines, Seed Oils, And Profit - David Gillespie 42:21

2M ago42:21

42:21

If you suffer from migraines, or you know someone who does, please listen to this episode (or get them to). I don't want to spoil the show, so I'm going to opt for "less is more" but the I think the information, insight, and science that Gillespo downloads in this chat could - for some people - be life-changing. The only story l'll share here is th…

1
#1965 The Hard(est) Day At The Office - Grant Dooley 46:13

2M ago46:13

46:13

This is a fascinating conversation with a bloke who has experienced some of the 'hardest' days at the office, conceivable. Grant Dooley was posted to Jakarta during the mid-2000s, one of Indonesia's most turbulent periods, where he survived the terrorist bombing of the Australian Embassy, was a first responder to the Garuda plane crash, and worked …

1
#1964 A Doctor Who Talks Sh*t - Dr. Sabine Hazan 46:49

2M ago46:49

46:49

Of course I'm going to love a guest who wrote a book called "Let's Talk Shit." This chat with world-renowned gut health, microbiome expert and let's be honest - poo-ologist - Dr. Sabine Hazan, was eye-opening. Among other fascinating things, we spoke about Autistic identical twins, who were both nonverbal and aggressive, who had identical elevated …

#1963 Failing Successfully - Kelly Smith 58:54

2M ago58:54

58:54

Failure is such an interesting concept. One person's failure is another person's lesson. One person calls their 10k race time a failure, someone else calls it a PB. John considers his return on investment (ROl) a disappointing outcome, Sally sees it as a nice gain. Failure is a construct. An idea. A story we tell ourselves. An interpretation. It's …
