Our favourite, award-winning, best-selling Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology (Dr. Bill Sullivan) is back inspiring, informing and educating us.

Marc Cohen, the amazing Triple-Doc (Medical Doc and 2 x PhD) is back and among other things, this time we discuss the ever-expanding number of toxins we humans need to navigate, avoid and mitigate in an attempt to create, not only a healthy body, but also a healthy lifestyle, home, workplace and day-to-day operating system. Interestingly, not all toxins are chemical; some of them are psychological, emotional and/or sociological. Did you know that just being around certain people can be bad for y...

Let’s be honest, some ‘friends’ are really just people we know. In fact, some of them are the opposite of kind, caring and loving towards us. So, not friends at all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christmas day; so many varied and contradictory emotions, expectations, beliefs, stories and experiences. From overwhelming love, happiness, joy and connection to anxiety, loneliness, anger and disconnection, to religious traditions, cultural rituals, excessive alcohol, gluttony and uncomfortable family gatherings. Oh, and throw in a few presents. In this episode, the fabulous Dr. Lillian and I talk about all this and more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

Just as it is with grown-ups, there is a myriad of factors, variables and individual pieces which contribute to the 'happy, functional, healthy kid' jigsaw puzzle. And just as it is with us 'older kids', there's no miracle three-step plan, no cure-all, and no single 'best' way to feed, educate, treat, communicate with, support or understand the extremely diverse part of our population known as children. What will work for little Indie, will be catastrophic for Sam. Kayla's healthy snack could be...

Andrew May is a world-class Speaker, High-Performance Coach, Podcaster and Educator, having worked with elite sporting teams, corporations and individuals all over the world. Other than that, he's a compete dud. As is often the way with Andrew, this episode was a combination of Psychology, Motivation, Story-Telling and Edutainment (it's a thing). Oh, and he also did his best to Psycho-analyse me mid-show, and I may or may not have gotten mildly uncomfortable. performanceintelligence.com Rear Vie...

Joe Ingles is one of Australia's greatest ever basketballers (currently playing with the Minnesota Timberwolves) and not to be outdone, his wife Renae was one of Australia's greatest ever Netballers; both representing their country at the highest level on numerous occasions. All I'm gonna tell you about this chat is that I f***ing loved it, and they are both fantastic people. FYI.. for this recording, Joe was in Minnesota, Renae was in Florida and I was in the thriving metropolis of good ol' Mel...

Gillespo hits the ground running in this chat and we cover a vast amount of conversational territory in a relatively short time. While we talk about stimulants (Red Bull anyone?), screen addiction, the massive increase in teenage anxiety and my very periodic (and shameful) use of a cognitive enhancer, the thing that'll blow your metaphoric socks off is our discussion about the recent research linking seed oils (oils like sunflower, cottonseed, grapeseed, canola, rice bran and soybean) with an in...

Pete Shepherd is one of Australia's premiere Corporate Speakers and Coaches, having worked with thousands of people, in a multitude of organisations and across different continents. He has an extremely user-friendly coaching style, a super listenable voice (you'll hear) and a gift for breaking down human behaviour and psychology into easy-to-understand (and operationalise) ideas, stories and concepts. Enjoy. *Just acknowledging that title of today's ep. is a homage to Seth Godin's book of the sa...

Hi Team, I’m caught up with work today but I’ll be back for the rest of the week with brand new episodes. This is a chat I had a while back with 'The Commando', I really enjoyed it, I think you will too. *Not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure what to expect going into a conversation with ‘The Commando’. Interestingly, it didn’t happen. I ended up chatting with Steve Willis, the deep-thinking, interesting, somewhat-introverted ex-soldier, who happened to be on the telly...

Growing up, I was the poster boy for mediocrity; not gifted genetically, academically, creatively or intellectually, as well as being the obese kid with terrible choices, habits, behaviours and of course, outcomes. Not exactly a winner. Fortunately for me, I had a few experiences in my teens which stimulated my curiosity and truly opened my eyes and understanding to a thing called 'human potential'. I became obsessed with trying to understand what was possible for me if I could learn how to 'out...

In this episode of TYP, Tiff and I got to meet Patrick's new friend who, despite being Al, was able to have an extremely real-sounding 'conversation' with our resident nerd mid-podcast and when I say 'extremely' real-sounding, I mean it's honestly hard to believe the evolution of 'Al conversation' , even over the last six months. Within a very short time, it will be almost impossible to distinguish between a human-to-human chat and a human-to-Al 'chat' (purely from an audio recording perspective...

Dr. Jodi is back and among other things, we talk about the ever-present juggling act of parents wanting to protect their kids, while also giving them the space, freedom and responsibility to solve problems, experience (some) discomfort, develop people skills, scrape their knees (literally or metaphorically) and build resilience, confidence and the practical skills to be able to deal with the messy-ness and mayhem of life beyond the parental bubble. As someone who doesn't have kids, I found this ...

According to Director, Award Winning Filmmaker and Author Pete Dickson, fiction writing is just a fancy name for 'making sh*t up' and well, he's absolutely right. While Pete is one of Australia's most respected and sought-after sporting documentary makers, it turns out he's also pretty good at writing books, with his second book (and first fiction) being picked up by a major US publisher before they'd even had a phone call! Pete is a truly gifted creator, writer and storyteller but perhaps what ...

Tommy Jackett calls me Dad. I've known and mentored him since he was a teenager and over the years, we have forged a relationship that's part friendship and part pseudo father-son. l've watched him grow, graduate and evolve out of his teens and into fatherhood, family and business and at thirty-six, I love who he's become and I'm impressed by the amazing things he's doing. This was a nice catch-up where, among other things, we chatted about his recent trip to the US to film a documentary about t...

In this episode of TYP, Tiff and I riff on a verbal smorgasbord of topics, including Russell Brand's very public conversion to Christianity, the idea of kneeling in tiny room to 'confess your sins' to a bloke that you can't see in an adjacent tiny room (not weird at all), faith and belief vs. facts and knowledge, my ever-present capacity to say stupid things and be thoughtless, my PhD Supervisor telling me to pull my (metaphoric) finger out, Tiff's recent mystery illness and lots more. Enjoy. Se...

Hi Team, I'm tied up with PhD commitments today, so we’re revisiting one of my favourite episodes with Farmer Dave (David Graham). See you tomorrow with a new ep. *I wasn’t sure what to expect going in to this chat because unlike a lot of people, I knew virtually zero about farmer Dave (my bad) but what ensued, was an hour of captivating conversation with a bloke who’s had (and continues to have) a fascinating life. After years navigating all kinds of darkness and eventually finding his way into...

In this brief solo episode, I discuss a very simple but effective idea that I have incorporated into my day-to-day operating system over the last few weeks. It's free and for me, the benefits have been physical (I have more energy, I'm leaner, a little fitter and I'm sleeping better), cognitive (brain power, focus, clarity), emotional (I feel happier and calmer), practical (it's improved my efficiency) and professional (I've integrated the idea into the way I work). My specific protocol might no...
