#2044 Rock, Paper, Scissors- Patrick Bonello 57:37

Play Pause

2d ago57:37

57:37

Patrick's back at TYP Central opening the 'Tech' door - and few doors that should stay shut to be honest - but nonetheless, information was shared, stories were told, laughter was had, education was scarce, inspiration missed out altogether and Tiff did her best to wrangle the two overaged teenagers into some kind of cohesive, intelligible and mean…

#2045 One Size Doesn't Fit All - Harps & Tiff 35:40

33m ago35:40

35:40

This time Tiff and I explore the differing concepts of "the best" (diet, workout, job, lifestyle, strategy, protocol) and "our best," highlighting that what's optimal for one person will be sub-optimal, or even dangerous, for another. Is there really a "best" diet? Or fitness program? Is there a (single) best way to grow a business? Build a brand? …

#2043 Please Don't Say "Moist" - Bobby Cappuccio 49:58

3d ago49:58

49:58

If you're ever chatting with Tiff or Bobby, whatever you do, don't use the ‘M' word. It sets them off. I'm not even joking. I used it to describe a cookie that wasn't dry or brittle but apparently, it's an unacceptable adjective. To describe anything. Ever. Other than not-dry cookies, we chatted about the old-school self-help pioneers that greatly …

#2042 Understanding Trauma - Scott Douglas 48:19

4d ago48:19

48:19

As a Paramedic, Scott Douglas has seen some sh*t. Been in the middle of mayhem he'll never forget. Seen things that he can't unsee. And while those events, experiences and situations are in the past, the consequences still live in the now. As they do for many people. Maybe you? This instalment of TYP is not a solution or prescription but it is a co…

#2041 The Five Pillars of Fulfilment - Ian Williams 49:11

6d ago49:11

49:11

lan Williams is good man helping other good - but often struggling - men to manage their physical, mental and emotional health, which is why he created an app called 'Good Men Helping Good Men.’ lan and I are definitely kindred spirits, which is why I felt like I was chatting with an old Mate, even though we only just met. Oh, and in case you're wo…

#2040 The Consequences Of Thought - Harps 44:41

7d ago44:41

44:41

Your brain isn't responding to the world. It's responding to what it thinks the world is. In this episode, we explore the physiological consequences of thinking - how belief, expectation, interpretation, and meaning can literally change the body. Not metaphorically. Biologically. You'll hear about the knee surgery that "worked" even though the surg…

#2039 Plan With Your Head, Lead With Your Heart - Kerryn Vaughan 39:29

9d ago39:29

39:29

Kerryn Vaughan is definitely not your shy little-wallflower type. She's more a punch-you-in-the-face and then give you a hug... type. She encourages, supports, educates (and maybe scares) people to think better, do better, be better and create better results. She does that as a Speaker, Author, Podcaster and Coach and we sure had a fun (and somewha…

#2038 Who T.F. Is The 'Self' Anyway? - Harps & Tiff 33:05

10d ago33:05

33:05

Psychologists, Theologians, Philosophers, Stoics, Scientists and a Bogan from Latrobe Valley have been trying to identify, understand and get-to-know the 'self' for millennia. With absolutely no qualifications or credibility, Tiff and I continue the exploration in - what can only be described as - a convergence of pseudo-science, psychology, humour…

#2037 The Toddler Milk Scam - David Gillespie 30:58

11d ago30:58

30:58

For years, "Stage 3" toddler milk has been the food industry's most brilliant, cynical, and profitable loophole. It was a legal way to hook parents on a brand, all while selling them a sugary, unnecessary product. Now, that loophole is snapping shut. In Australia, it just destroyed a 30-year regulatory agreement. And in the US, it's the target of a…

#2036 Personal Development (The Verb) - Harps & Tiff 47:22

12d ago47:22

47:22

Personal development, self-help, human optimisation - they are all 'doing’ processes. Away from the products, programs, books, podcasts and workshops, personal development is something we do, not something we buy. Sometimes that 'doing' is messy, terrifying, uncomfortable and slow, but also... exactly what's required to achieve our goals and fulfil…

#2035 It's Been A Sh*t Week - Harps 34:53

14d ago34:53

34:53

I don't often say this but to be honest, it was a pretty sh*t week on Planet Craig. That's just the simple, practical truth. Lots of people that I care about (including my dad) going through some really tough stuff. Of course I'm not alone in this, it's a common occurrence for many of us but I thought I'd chat about my crap week and share my though…

#2034 Beautifully Imperfect - Dr. Sam Casey 39:55

15d ago39:55

39:55

I posted a whiteboard message on my Insta this week titled: "A Bit F**ked. A Lot Human." Dr. Sam reached out to tell me that the message resonated with her and that she wanted to unpack it with me on TYP, so that's what we did. drsamcasey.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.By Craig Harper

#2033 Full Moons, Home Robots & Falling In Love With AI - Patrick Bonello 55:39

16d ago55:39

55:39

Are people building emotional attachments to Al? Are some of us in a (kind-of) 'relationship' with ChatGPT? Can biology connect with technology in that way? Do people really get weird around full moons? How long until humanoid (human-like) robots are in our homes? Why are ultra-HD TV's a waste of money? How can we improve our memory and recall? Wha…

#2032 Creating New Habits - Bobby Cappuccio 58:27

17d ago58:27

58:27

Research tells us (actual *research, not bro science) that it takes anywhere between 18 - 254 days to change a habit. Of course, that's not 'absolute' but it is the typical range. The giving up of ‘the old' and the hardwiring of ‘the new' is a multidimensional process. That is, there are a bunch of moving parts and variables. There's no three-step …

#2031 The Neurotic Shrink - Dr. Mark Cross 55:10

18d ago55:10

55:10

Hi Team, today we're revisiting one of my favourite eps with the fascinating, funny and compassionate, Dr. Mark Cross. I loved our chat and personally, learned a bunch. He is the first openly gay man to win ‘Father of the Year’, he is a highly-respected Psychiatrist, Successful Author, Media Presenter and has lived experience of one of the conditio…

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

20d 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

21d 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

22d 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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

#2027 Transhumanism - Dr. Jeff Gross 44:01

23d 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

24d 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

25d 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

26d 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

27d 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

28d 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

29d 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

1M 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

1M 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

1M 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

1M 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 …

1
#2016 Is Your Job Bad For Your Health? - Dr. Lillian Nejad 49:57

1M 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

1M 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

1M 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

1M 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…

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

1M 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

1M 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

1M 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

1M 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

2M 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

2M 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…

1
#2005 Stepping Into Awareness & Consciousness - Harps & Tiff 55:31

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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

2M 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…
