Today I put my Exercise Scientist hat on and talk about some of the myths, mistakes, misconceptions and common misunderstandings people have about exercise. And of course, I share some general thoughts, suggestions and overall recommendations (but no personal prescription, of course). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi Team, I'm tied up with grown-up things today, so l have decided to share a (very) brief episode that I recorded last year for 'LIFE' about the opportunities, growth, insights and benefits (yes, benefits) that can accompany failure. Consider it a mini coaching session. See you tomorrow. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At 43, Nicole Liddell had never been to University, didn't know the difference between an undergraduate and post-graduate degree, was a single mum of three (still is), was living below the poverty line and struggling to feed her kids, was navigating numerous psychological, emotional and physiological issues, was a victim of domestic violence, had very little self-esteem, self-worth, self-belief or confidence, and to say that her future wasn't looking bright, would have been a massive understatem...

Hi Team, up to my blurry eyeballs today (Saturday as I type) in PhD writing, so today we’re revisiting an episode from a while back, that was very well received. See you on the morrow with a freshie. *Treading water. Spinning our metaphoric wheels. Stuck in a Groundhog Day of mediocrity, dissatisfaction and frustration. Wasted time, talent and energy. Thinking, habits, behaviours, rituals and fears that keep us trapped in a prison of our own making. This episode is a workshop (of sorts) about st...

Not sure what's happening at TYP Central but boy, we've been having some very real, organic, unplanned and vulnerable conversations lately. We go in with an idea of what we might talk about and end up somewhere totally different. We plan for Sydney but end up in Perth. In this episode, the emotional curtain gets pulled right back and Tiff and I talk about her ‘motorbike riding buddy’ who’s “definitely not her boyfriend” (ahem..), living in an emotional, psychological, behavioural, and/or sociolo...

(*Read the following synopsis in a cheesey radio voice for optimal effect)... Are all politicians psychopaths? Can ice baths 'treat' addiction? Has Gillespo ever ridden a motor bike? Why are Aussies becoming more distrusting? Is honesty a dying quality? Is it prudent to assume that people could be lying? All this (and more) in today's riveting instalment of (make your internal voice cheesier and a bit echo-ey.. the You (you, you) Project (project, project). See omnystudio.com/listener for privac...

What is the relationship between the situation we find ourselves in, and our experience in the middle of that situation? How much of our experience is created by the situation, and how much is created by us? My friend Joel Sardi does life from a wheelchair. He has a C5 spinal cord injury, no feeling from the chest down, some use of his arms, limited motor skills with his hands, a myriad of other physiological and practical challenges and in the middle of what is (from the outside looking in) a h...

Wow, this episode was an unexpectedly deep conversation and we opened all the doors; spirituality, psychology, emotions, religion and sociology. I even gave Tiff a mini coaching and feedback session mid-podcast (at her request). The title will make sense once you listen. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi Team. It’s a busy week at Craig Central so today we’re revisiting a really interesting chat I had with Prof. Russell Foster. I’ll be back tomorrow with a new episode. See you then. *Professor Russell Foster (from Oxford University, no less) is one of those rare breeds of high-level academic with an amazing ability to break down the super-sciencey stuff into TYP-Friendly, easy-to-understand-and-apply info and inspo. Yes, I used inspo. You’re welc. Stop it. Among other things, we spoke about ci...

"This is what I believe.. but I could be wrong", said no religious leader, politician, health expert, spiritual guru, nutritional zealot or narcissist, ever. The "need to be right" mindset is exhausting, unrealistic and toxic but nonetheless, it's ubiquitous. It's about a few things but mostly, it's about fear. This episode is me thinking out loud about an aspect of human behaviour that fascinates me. It's just my thoughts so, of course, I could be wrong (lol). No, really. See omnystudio.com/lis...

Another one of my amazing (ex) athletes graces the TYP studio today and Renae and I go deep talking about the mental and emotional cost of being an 'obsessed' professional athlete, when emotion is considered weakness, the pros and cons of vulnerability, living on the other side of the world with her NBA basketballer husband (Joe), raising their three little humans in often-trying circumstances, being a 'WAG' who doesn't always fit in, finding identity, purpose and happiness after professional sp...

If there was any doubt about Patrick's sanity, everything is cleared up in this episode, when he chats about the thousand plus movies he has on Blu Ray (individually purchased for $20 plus). If you're old enough to remember 'Seinfeld' being marketed as a "show about nothing" well, this episode is essentially a Seinfeld podcast. Weirdly, some of you will still enjoy it.

I loved meeting Samantha (she's ace) and this was a fun chat about talent, creativity, intelligence, self-doubt, self-belief, imposter syndrome, courage, getting out of our own way and the challenge of turning an idea in our head into an 'actual' thing for everyone else (outside our head) to see, experience and enjoy. Samantha Wills is an award-winning designer, author, speaker, and advocate for the arts. Founding one of Australia's most popular jewellery brands from her dining table at just 21,...

Years ago, I remember hearing about this outspoken, straight-shooting, anti-establishment, enigmatic bodybuilder, fitness industry bloke and gym owner called Damon Hayhow. Some years later we met at his Melbourne gym and everything I had heard, was true. But not in a bad way; he wasn't some ranting angry idiot. No, he was a highly-intelligent, deep-thinking pracademic who challenged convention (if he thought it was stupid or ineffective) and asked questions that some people didn’t want asked. So...

Bianca Chatfield is one of the many elite athletes I trained over my decades working with various teams, athletes and sporting organisations. Apart from being one of my charges, we have also enjoyed a great friendship over the years and for this episode, we caught up to shoot the breeze about life post-sport, and it's fair to say that she hasn't been sitting on her hands! *Bio: Bianca Chatfield is a former Australia netball international. Between 2001 and 2014 she made 59 senior appearances for ...

Hi Everyone, we’ve got a bunch of great new interviews lined up from tomorrow but today we’re revisiting a popular episode from a few years back. Still good info, still relevant and still life-changing if we apply it consistently. I’ve been posting about some of my inspiring ’more experienced’ friends lately, so with that in mind, I thought a chat about getting better with age might be a nice fit. Enjoy.

If you want a verbal cuddle today, this episode ain’t for you. But, if you need a mental and behavioural reset, it might be exactly what you need (not want). *You and I live in a world obsessed with convenience, comfort, instant gratification and all-things 'easy’. Just ask the marketing people and they'll tell you what sells. Quick fixes. Magic pills. All-things 'reward-without-work' and of course, the ever-popular 'hack'.

I’ve interviewed some impressive people over the last six years but nobody more impressive than this amazing lady. This episode is a re-boot of one of my all-time favourite TYP experiences. To say Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton is impressive, is like saying the Universe is kind-of big. Sabrina is a Doctor of Neuropsychology, a Psychologist, renowned academic Researcher, best-selling Author and one of the most senior female Firefighters in the UK, overseeing twenty-five stations and a thousand staff.

Our resident kill-joy, status quo challenger and cage-rattler is back rattling, challenging and killing. As he does. This time we learn why fish might not be the super-food we were led to believe, why David's family hasn't consumed tap water in fifteen years, why the same protein bar is being sold (marketed, labelled) as two different bars (one for men, one for women), how the health star rating system for food products works, the celebrity who almost died from mercury poisoning and finally, we ...

Nikki Morrison is a Nurse who (these days) works as a Pastoral Carer with the very sick and dying, and as a Death Doula, helping people 'transition' (as she calls it) from this realm(?) to the next. As beautiful and uplifting as a conversation about death and dying can be, this was it. BTW, Nikki says we're all "walking each other home" (moving through this life and eventually, into death and beyond). Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

To be honest, I'm not sure how many of you will find an episode about me banging on about my non-negotiables (kind of like, my personal rules for life) particularly enlightening or inspiring, but I am asked regularly about how I 'manage me' (for want of a better term) in terms of my work, time, health, commitments, resources, goals, values, business and family. This brief chat is just a peek into my operating system. Enjoy (or come back tomorrow). *It just dawned on me that I'm terrible at selli...

There may have been a time when I wasn't as patient, calm, self-aware or evolved as I am these days. Shocking, I know. Hard to believe I wasn't always the angel you see (hear) these days. In this fun and very organic conversation, Tiff and I wax lyrical about the times when we may not have always presented the optimal version of ourselves to the world. Tiff may or may not have punched her dad's girlfriend. To the floor. Allegedly. Your honour. Me, on the other hand, I was just a big loveable Ted...

We were saddened to learn that one of our all-time favourite TYP guests - the beautiful and inspiring Dr. Gladys McGarey - recently passed away just shy of her 104th birthday. One of the (many) reasons I love hosting TYP is the opportunities it has afforded me to meet, connect with, and learn from some of the most amazing people in the world. Today, we're re-sharing the chat I had with Dr. Gladys from mid-2023 (when she was just a teenager of 102). Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy ...

On a less-technological front, Patrick chats about his brother who has special needs, I talk about an awesome young lady I met at a rece...

One of my roles is to coach, coaches (sporting, corporate and personal). And professional speakers. And PT's. And facilitators. And first-responders. And a broad cross-section of leaders, managers and bosses. And a few Psychologists. And in that process, I invariably build the interaction around some relevant, meaningful, stimulating and sometimes provocative, questions. With that in mind, I recorded this episode to share some of my most-used questions with those of you who might find a use for ...
