Sometimes you meet someone and quickly feel a connection and a familiarity that's inexplicable but real, nonetheless. It was like that (for me) with Dr. Rob Bell. Rob is a rock star in the areas of Athletic Performance, Human Potential and more specifically, Mental Toughness. We covered lots of ground in this one, I loved him and you will too. Enjoy.

At school, David Gillespie was an academic standout, while I was more of an academic stand-outside-the-principals-office, kind-of student. Not even joking. This was a fun chat where we talked about the significant differences between our teenage reality (in the 70's and 80's) and the reality of teenagers today. We chatted about the myriad of challenges, hurdles, and variables that us old b*stards didn't have to navigate in our day, as well as exploring the ‘emerging addictions' that are wreaking...

Well, this was fun. Dr. Sherry and her energy almost make me look unenthusiastic and shy! We had a great time and her ability to communicate the 'science of the brain' in an easy-to-understand manner, is gold. Having said that, she does talk quickly and has a (beautiful) accent, so you might need to lean in and listen carefully at times. Enjoy. **Dr. Shohreh Majd is an inspiring keynote speaker, globally recognised Neuroscientist, University Associate Professor, lecturer, policy and research man...

It's been a while since I assumed the Exercise Scientist role but today was the day. Tiff and I unpack some of the most common (and easily rectified) mistakes that people make in the gym (or any training environment, for that matter). We keep it simple, broadly relevant and jargon-free. If you're training consistently but not getting the results you're after, take a listen. Enjoy.

This episode is unlike any I've done. It's an hour(ish) of me discussing the good and bad, painful and beautiful, theological and psychological.. of my religious (and spiritual) journey. It's not for everyone but some may find it interesting. The good news is, I'm not selling anything to anyone, there's no 'call to action', there's no bombshell and l'm not starting a cult. It's just me opening a door that l've (mostly) kept closed on the podcast. Also, if you heard BetterHelp on the show today, ...

Our go-to Neuropsychologist Dr. Hannah is back, demystifying, defining and unpacking neurodiversity in all its variations. Over the last decade, our awareness and understanding of the variability of the human brain is something that has greatly expanded and thankfully, continues to evolve. Among other things, we speak about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder), Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive-Co...

Apart from the fact that Patrick is gay and Tiff has massive trust issues with men, they are a match made in heaven. They met each other (in person) for the first time last weekend and both of them (unbeknown to each other) individually told me how much of a crush they have on the other. With that intel on board, you can imagine how much fun I had when the three of us showed up for this little virtual chin-wag. I even offered to finance their wedding. Oh yeh, we also talked about tech stuff. A b...

Unna and I went to Uni together and both studied Exercise Science. I went on to do what I do and she completed her Master's Degree in Exercise Rehabilitation and went down the clinical path, treating a broad cross-section of people with a broad range of conditions, diseases, injuries and physical challenges. This was a very freestyle conversation about the way people like us (people in the health, healing, wellness and fitness space) do what they(we) do; both the good and the not-so-good. We dis...

Kerryn Vaughan is a funny, compassionate, driven, super smart woman, who’s great at solving high-level problems, while being totally comfortable with f**king up, falling down and getting back up. But perhaps more impressive than all that, is that she's someone who consistently gets sh*t done, has a purpose and vision much bigger than herself and has impacted and transformed young lives across the globe. It's fair to say that, just like the host, Kerryn will never be mistaken for being posh (lol)...

Over the years, countless people referring to their life situation, experience and/or circumstance, have said to me something like "this wasn't my plan" and more often than not, when I dig a little, I discover that there was no actual plan (strategy, structure, process, accountability, timeline) but rather, an idea of how their life would 'turn out'. In many ways, they had been passengers in their own lives and characters in (not authors of) their own story. This episode is a conversation about ...

Four years ago, my friends Tara and Russell were thinking about developing a new kind 'self-serve' Reformer Pilates business where people could come to their facility and use commercial reformer beds to take classes with a choice of virtual teachers, using amazing technology (screens and audio) with access to hundreds of different programs of varying lengths, to meet all needs. And to top it off, there would be no timetable, no set classes, and no 'opening hours' because members would have twent...

The fabulous Tommy Jackett was back at TYP central for this chat and he didn’t disappoint. This was a somewhat philosophical and deep conversation, where the old bloke and the young bloke opened the existential door on meaning and purpose, what drives behaviours and outcomes, programming and conditioning and the way that our perspective and world view change as we get older.

That term (scared sh*tless), is something l've heard many times. Even if you have zero interest in public speaking, you might find this chat interesting, as we explore the essence of communication, connection and rapport. And while we are talking in the context of public speaking, most of the content is relevant across a broad range of situations, with an audience of many or one. I get asked a lot of questions about public speaking, from people who want to do it for a job and makes lots of dough...

I’m back on deck with a new episode tomorrow after traversing the country to make a few bucks, but for today I’ve decided to reshare my most popular solo episode.

Tracy-lea Connor has been on the show before talking about her journey with chemobrain and her book called... ‘Chemobrain’ (shocker, I know). This time we opened the door on her experience living with a psychopath for years. We spoke about red flags, gaslighting, people pleasing, being addicted to a person (it's real addiction and break-ups come with a literal biochemical withdrawal), love-bombing, manipulation, control, fake kindness and care, why people stay in toxic relationships, escaping an...

Hi Team, I’m up to my eyeballs this week in corporate work, so I’m going to revisit one of my favourite conversations with one of my favourite actors and all-round good humans, Samual Johnson. Enjoy. Samuel Johnson (OAM) is an Actor (TV, film and stage), Gold Logie winner, regular Aussie bloke, co-creator of the charity ‘Love Your Sister’ and money-raising machine, who (to this point in time) has raised more than thirteen millions dollars for cancer research. Mid-way through 2021, Sam was hit by...

Well, this chat was equally fascinating and terrifying. According to David Gillespie, Artificial General Intelligence (Al that is as smart as, or smarter than, the average person) is just around the metaphoric corner and it may not be good news for us non-robots. In some ways, it seems like the rapid evolution of Al is hurtling humanity towards the edge of an existential cliff, that might do us more harm than good. According to some, Al is at the precipice of being sentient to the point where it...

For a range of fascinating reasons, we humans tend to hate the idea of 'being wrong' about beliefs, ideas and rituals (habits maybe?) that are important to us. Especially when those things are foundational and integral to who we think we are; our identity, our purpose, our sense of self and our self-worth. Ironically, we love to see ourselves as open-minded, considered and objective as long as you agree with our core beliefs and ideas (lol). So, what are the dangers of 'needing to be right?’ Tak...

Intelligence is not 'a' thing but rather, a bunch of things. In some rooms I'm mildly smart, in others l'm wildly stupid. It's context, task and situation dependent. Want my advice on technology, you're in trouble. Ask me about biology or psychology, you're in with a chance. In this freestyle episode, Tiff and I talk about individual learning and teaching styles, getting better with age, exposing yourself to new and different stimuli (challenges, experiences, situations, information) and the iss...

Amy Molloy and I agree, there's no five easy steps to virtually anything. Might be five hard steps. Or twenty-six. Or five easy and five hard. Might take you a month and me, a decade. The point is, different things work for different people.

My best job might be your worst nightmare. Your easy run might be my torture session. And you...

He is the host of the Australian baking competition program Zumbo's Just Desserts, and a judge on the Netflix web series Sugar Rush.

According to Gillespo, the common birth control pill is increasingly being used for an 'off-label' purpose (with significant health risks), and less than ever for the intended purpose. I was also interested to learn that overall, young people (teenagers and early twenties) are less likely to have sex than parents were (back in the day) and the age at which women are having their first child has increased by around a decade since the 70's. Fortunately for Gillespo and I, Tiff was present to contr...

Most times on TYP, a guest and I sit down with a (loose) plan of what ideas and topics we'll talk about over the coming hour (or so) and every now and then, we cover none of it. Straight out of the gate, we take a conversational left turn and never get close to the intended path. This is such a chat. Having said that, this is my all-time favourite chat with Hannah (and we've done lots), because I really got to know the person behind the title, the profession and the brand. The vulnerable, period...
