#1950 Dating AI - Patrick Bonello
Well, this was probably the 'loosest' instalment of TYP in almost two thousand episodes. I blame Patrick. And Tiff. I was just an unsuspecting pawn in their sordid on-air game. Of course I was. My guess is that a percentage of people will love it, some won't and some will use it as mildly amusing background noise, while doing their workout, cleaning the house or ticking off some other mundane item on the daily to-do list. Seriously, this is maybe the most fun I have had on a podcast. Enjoy. Or avoid.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1949 The Biology of Trauma - Dr. Aimie Apigian
You know what I love about my TYP 'job'? I'm always talking with people who have so much to teach me; people with profound knowledge, experience, understanding and expertise that I don't have. As it turns out, I didn't know as much about trauma as I thought I did. Fortunately, this episode allowed me to connect with someone who is truly a world leader in this space. I loved Dr. Aimie and loved the conversation. I hope you enjoy it too. **Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, is a double Board-Certified Physician, boarded in both Preventive and Addiction Medicine with a Masters in Biochemistry and a Master's in Public Health. She is a leader, speaker and founder of Trauma Healing Accelerated, LLC where she not only continues to lead individuals in their own healing journey but trains professionals around the world to do the same.biologyoftrauma.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1948 The Science Of You - Dr. Jodi Richardson
Trying figure how you work, is a lifelong challenge. You don't work like me. Or anyone, actually. Well, not exactly. Physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, personally, professionally; there's no generic 5-step plan that 'works' equally for all of us. My best diet could make you unwell. Your best job, could be my professional nightmare. Your relaxing yoga class, could trigger my claustrophobia. The joke that makes me laugh, might make you furious. Dr. Jodi and I go far and wide in this chat and if I'm honest, I think I get a little high-horsey and soap-boxy in the second half. Nonetheless, we had fun and chat about some important and broadly-relevant issues. Enjoy.drjodirichardson.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1947 Speaking Of Vasectomies - Dr. Cam McDonald
So, Dr. Cam had the snip (24 hours before we chatted) and no, he probably didn't want me leading with this for the show notes but f**k it, here we are. Okay, here I am. Seriously, it was a really interesting chat about how it all 'worked' from a clinical, psychological, experiential, and sociological (chatting with the Doc while he's holding your... junk) perspective. Also, we spoke about other stuff. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1946 Are Your Thoughts Even Yours? - Harps
We like to think we're independent thinkers, making conscious choices and forming our own ideas. But what if you're more influenced than you realise? What if your beliefs, attitudes, and even your identity are being shaped - subtly and consistently - by the people you spend the most time with? Or at the very least, the people you pay attention to? There's that old saying: "You become the average of the five people you hang around with the most." It's not scientifically precise, but it's not bullsh*t either. In this episode, we explore how the company we keep shapes our thoughts, filters our reality, and maybe even rewires our brain. We talk influence, identity, thought cults, and the fine line between your truth and someone else's programming.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1945 The Dangers Of Fitness & Health Tech - Kelly Smith
Kelly Smith is back on TYP asking more great questions and this is an important and relevant conversation for many; especially those of us using some form of tech to track, monitor and guide our health/fitness journey. And don't panic tech fiends, it's not bad news but it is interesting and definitely food for thought. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1944 15 Things I Want You To Know - Harps
If I had a kid who was old enough to have a somewhat grown-up conversation, where I could share with them some things that I believe are important for everyone to know, that conversation would include (but not be limited to) the core ideas, concepts and principles that I share in this podcast.

#1943 How And Why We Self-Sabotage - Harps
Some of us have been getting in our own way for years. Shooting ourselves in the metaphoric foot, undermining our own goals, sabotaging our dreams and quite often, being the biggest barrier to our own success. In this broadly-relevant episode, I unpack ten common forms of self-sabotage and some potential remedies. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1942 Vapes, Cults & Low-Cost Addictions - David Gillespie
This was a fun episode exploring everything from the new more 'affordable’ addictions, the changing habits (pun intended) of addicted Aussies, the science of starting a cult, Epstein Island, the death of cigarettes, how to hijack a young brain, Gillespo's new book and lots more.

#1941 Adaptability Quotient - Dr. Carlos Davidovich
How well can you adapt? Deal with the unknown, uncertain, uncomfortable, unfamiliar and unpredictable (all the 'uns')? According to Dr. Carlos Davidovich (MD), in terms of real-world function, success and survival, our ability to adapt (AQ), might even be more important than IQ and EQ (it's more renowned cousins - lol). This chat with the Doc (a new TYP guest) was super enjoyable and we covered a myriad of relevant and fascinating topics. **BIO: Carlos Davidovich, MD, is an executive coach, TED speaker, and the author of Five Brain Leadership: How Neuroscience Can Help You Master Your Instincts and Build Better Teams. With over 20 years of coaching experience across Europe and North America, Carlos works with executives from Google, Netflix, and global biotech firms - guiding them to master decision-making, emotional regulation, and adaptability by understanding the real drivers behind performance: the brain.carlosdavidovich.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
