The Paul Taylor Podcast

I loved this conversation.  Professor Bill Sullivan researches the impact of microbes, pathogens and parasites and how they influence not only human health, but human behaviour.  Bill is a very engaging communicator and takes us on a very enjoyable journey on how these hidden forces affect the behaviour of animals and humans alike, and we explore the potential treatments and ethical considerations that arise. Be sure to put Bill's book high on your list of priorities and check his website out here.

Today is ostensibly a conversation about bucket lists, but it is a much deeper, thought-provoking conversation about actually living life, rather than deferring it until you retire, which many people do.  Travis, like myself, started out in the fitness industry many years ago, but has evolved into personal development apace and helping people live their best lives. We discuss Travis' own journey, which started out as a successful Fitness Industry entrepreneur, and the driver to re-invent himself and start living his best life. We then go into the idea of a bucket list and a reverse bucket list, and how to put some structure around those things. Check out Travis' website for his blogs, awesome book and options to have him speak to your organisation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
