This was one of my favourite chats with David and Tiff. It was super interesting and the great man's giant intellect and expansive knowledge never ceases to amaze me. We spoke about starting a cult, the psychotic nature of business and religion, the controversial storyline twist in the new Toy Story film (no. 5), the likelihood of Universal Basic Income (UBI) becoming a reality in Australia, the (potential) impending Al-driven unemployment crisis and I recommend my all-time favourite book on cul...

There's a title you probably won't see again. Doctor Bill goes above and beyond on in this episode of TYP, and we find ourselves chatting about the male fertility crisis, killer parasites, STD's, toxoplasmosis, decapitated sperm, plummeting testosterone levels, cat poo, raw shellfish, undercooked meat, plastics in food, endocrine disruptors, drastic cuts in funding for scientific research, insane politics and politicians, and lots more!

Every now and then I meet someone I want my listeners to meet. Someone I want to keep listening to. Someone whose story is simultaneously inspiring, fascinating, and entertaining. Well, Scott Douglas is one of those people and I think you're gonna love him. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We could call this a podcast-ette. This brief episode is me riffing on the nature of intelligence; an idea that some people might find ironic and I wouldn't totally disagree with them. Nonetheless, I did it. And here it is. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick's back at TYP Central sharing the tech love and a few borderline stories that may or may not p**s off his identical twin brother. This time we talk about China stopping students from accessing Al to curtail cheating on exams (seems reasonable), why we need a 'code word' for the phone to ensure we're actually chatting with a human (not Al), robot cats that can reduce stress in children, how to say 'no', why hitting the 'snooze' button could be a health problem, a VR game that improves eye...

I've known Dee Dee Dunleavy for decades but this chat was literally the first time we have spoken (at all) in years. I won't give away too much about the episode but I will say that it ended up being a pretty raw, vulnerable and unfiltered conversation about rejection, identity, uncertainty, success, friendship, reinvention, healing, purpose and coming out the other side of an emotional and psychological sh*t-fest. *Dee Dee has worked in the media for more than 40 years (37 of those in radio) wh...

Recognising the lack of awareness and available treatment for M.E., CFS and Fibromyalgia, Toby developed a step-by-step re...

"Go where you grow" - yep it's a cheesy saying but behind the cheese, it's a solid message. So many of us talk about personal growth, while simultaneously avoiding the 'places' where we might grow. Wanting growth, choosing comfort. Saying all the right things, doing bugger all. If you're in need of twenty-minutes of slightly (okay, very) sweary motivational coaching, strap the f*ck in.

We love the idea of being objective. Open-minded. Willing to learn new things, unlearn old things, admit when we get things wrong and to look at 'old things' through a new lens or perhaps even, someone else's lens. Telling others how objective we are makes us feel good about ourselves. It's considered a noble trait and something that's socially desirable and who doesn't want that? But as Anaïs Nin told us over a hundred years ago. "you don't see things as they are, you see them as you are." So t...

"Go hard or go home".. advice (I use that terms loosely) that has been handed out to all kinds of people in all kinds of situations for ever. But is it actually wise counsel? Me thinks not, Your Honour. In his weekly visit, Bobby and I talk about the 'good old days'(?) when we destroyed ourselves (and others) in the gym - all in the name of peak performance. More like peak risk and peak long-term injuries and issues. We also chat about lying ‘for a good reason' (ethical fibbing?), having a conve...

You probably won't be surprised when I tell you that the incidence and diagnosis of ADHD has increased a bazillion percent over the last two decades (well about 1,100 percent in Australia, to be more accurate). According to Gillespo, it's got something to do with our 'dopamine set point' and also marketing people who are strategically trying to hijack our brain and attention, and what better way to do that than with the thing many of you are currently holding in your hand? Some of the info and i...

In this episode Tommy and I chat about life after (and during) success, the potential psychological, emotional, and sociological price of being obsessed with achieving a certain goal, skill and experience vs. raw talent, gifted people who can't perform under pressure, how to find our purpose (or purposes) and Tommy getting a little...

TYP'S resident geek (Patrick) is back trying to share the tech love - and while he did a pretty good job - I gotta say, this episode was one of the funnier, more inappropriate, revealing and irreverent experiences l've had in eight years of podcasting. Having said that, if you're easily offended, this probably ain't for you. Enjoy. Or avoid. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In part 3 with Kelly, we unpacked her last five questions and they, are these... 1. When did you stop equating your physicality with contentment/happiness? 2. What's next after the PhD? 3. You have the opportunity to interview anyone - dead or alive - who is it and why? 4. Name one thing that you have learnt in the course of your PhD that has absolutely surprised you? 5.

Kelly Smith is a long-time TYP listener and when I recently did a callout for some listener questions, Kelly volunteered to be the on-air asker of said questions. Rather than do that, I suggested she come up with some originals, slide into the virtual TYP studio and interview me on my own podcast. And she did. Not surprisingly I waffled, so this chat is going to air in three parts. This is part two and here's what I was asked. (1) What is it within yourself that has led towards what could be des...

He went to the metaphoric room of mirrors for a long hard look, and he told me (us) it was one of the most powerful and amazing experiences of his life. I'm gonna say up front, I loved this chat.

Of course, there's no single answer to that question - there are countless factors and variables. But with that in mind, Bobby and I had a chat about one of our favourite books (and one of the most influential psychological books of the 20th century): ‘Man's Search for Meaning’ by Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor, Dr. Viktor Frankl. I really enjoyed this conversation. theselfhelpantidote.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood - 'once called the disease of Kings' because only rich people got it - and over the last decade or two, new cases have exploded across all social, cultural and financial demographics (so not just rich people). Historically, it was believed that gout was caused by eating too much red meat, seafood and dairy but of course, Gillespo is here to dispel that thinking and talk about the real culprit. Sugar, of cour...

"What's the worst thing that can happen" is a question l've asked myself repeatedly over the years and many times it's been the single strategy that got me to say yes to things I needed to, which were often also the things that scared the metaphoric sh*t out of me. Believing that I could survive the worst-case scenario is often what got me to take a first step. Apart from that question, Dr. Jodi and I also chat about the power of delaying gratification, intelligence vs. knowledge, people who hav...
