In this episode, Dr. Bill Sullivan (our favourite award-winning professor, author and science superstar from the Indiana University School of Medicine), tells us about being evolutionarily equipped for predators and dangers that no longer exist, and what impact that kind of hypervigilance can have on our mind, body, emotions and in general terms, our health. We also chat about status hierarchy (it's been around for millennia) and our need to feel superior, important and valued. We learn that sto...

Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand, interact, and communicate effectively with others in a range of settings and situations. It's about being able to 'read the room'. Know what to say and not say. And how. And when. And how much. And to whom. It's about knowing what's 'being said' when nobody's talking. It's about understanding someone else's reality in the moment. That your intention is probably not their experience. That your 'funny' is their offensive. Your clear concept,...

Bianca Chatfield and I were recently on Musical Theatre Superstar Josh Piterman's Podcast - Behind the Mask - and we had a ball chatting about all-things 'success'; the idea, the process, the experience, the appearance, the illusion and the science (art?) of it. This TYP episode is what's called (on Planet Podcast) a co-share, thanks to Josh and the good folk at Rolln Media.

12,688 - that's how many unread emails I have in my inbox and for some amusing (to me) reason, it gives Patrick anxiety. I should probably be concerned but he seems to be doing a great job, so l'll leave the worry to him and save myself some energy. This episode was the usual informal, freestyle, periodically-inappropriate affair, masquerading as an episode about tech. You've been warned. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

I have a body but l'm not a body. I think things, know things, believe things and want things but l'm not thought, not knowledge, not a belief and not a goal. And of course I do things, own things, achieve things and create things but neither am I an action, possession, achievement or an outcome. And in the middle of all the things I'm not, there I am. Who I am to you, is not who I am to my mum, not who I am to my friend, not who l am to a stranger and not who I am to me. Identity is indeed a sl...

Today I put my Exercise Scientist hat on and talk about some of the myths, mistakes, misconceptions and common misunderstandings people have about exercise.

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.

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.

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.

"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...

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.

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...

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.

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.
