The You Project

This time Bobby and I talk about dealing with (supporting, talking to, understanding) people who are stressed and maybe even having something of a meltdown. We also chat about the 'how, when and if' of providing feedback (it's fraught with danger), when to lean in and help people and when to let them help themselves, 'reading the room' (non-verbal communication), the difference between sympathy and empathy and the significance of the title will be explained.

Amelia Phillips is a renowned Nutritionist and Exercise Scientist, doing lots of great stuff, helping lots of people, educating and inspiring the masses, working on the telly, hosting her own successful podcast, raising four kids (and one husband) and in general terms, equipping people to live longer and healthier lives. Not surprisingly, we had a great chat which was broadly relevant and user-friendly. Also, Tiff and Amelia may have hijacked the show for ten minutes chatting about perimenopause!

This was one of my favourite chats with David and Tiff. It was super interesting and the great man's giant intellect and expansive knowledge never ceases to amaze me. We spoke about starting a cult, the psychotic nature of business and religion, the controversial storyline twist in the new Toy Story film (no. 5), the likelihood of Universal Basic Income (UBI) becoming a reality in Australia, the (potential) impending Al-driven unemployment crisis and I recommend my all-time favourite book on cults.

There's a title you probably won't see again. Doctor Bill goes above and beyond on in this episode of TYP, and we find ourselves chatting about the male fertility crisis, killer parasites, STD's, toxoplasmosis, decapitated sperm, plummeting testosterone levels, cat poo, raw shellfish, undercooked meat, plastics in food, endocrine disruptors, drastic cuts in funding for scientific research, insane politics and politicians, and lots more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every now and then I meet someone I want my listeners to meet. Someone I want to keep listening to. Someone whose story is simultaneously inspiring, fascinating, and entertaining. Well, Scott Douglas is one of those people and I think you're gonna love him. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We could call this a podcast-ette. This brief episode is me riffing on the nature of intelligence; an idea that some people might find ironic and I wouldn't totally disagree with them. Nonetheless, I did it. And here it is. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick's back at TYP Central sharing the tech love and a few borderline stories that may or may not p**s off his identical twin brother. This time we talk about China stopping students from accessing Al to curtail cheating on exams (seems reasonable), why we need a 'code word' for the phone to ensure we're actually chatting with a human (not Al), robot cats that can reduce stress in children, how to say 'no', why hitting the 'snooze' button could be a health problem, a VR game that improves eyesight (I need that) and lots more.

I've known Dee Dee Dunleavy for decades but this chat was literally the first time we have spoken (at all) in years. I won't give away too much about the episode but I will say that it ended up being a pretty raw, vulnerable and unfiltered conversation about rejection, identity, uncertainty, success, friendship, reinvention, healing, purpose and coming out the other side of an emotional and psychological sh*t-fest. *Dee Dee has worked in the media for more than 40 years (37 of those in radio) where she dominated on multiple platforms including Fox FM, Gold FM and more recently, 3AW in Melbourne. I was Dee Dee's PT for many years and even did a weekly segment with her for a while on Gold FM. Enjoy.@deedeedunleavy@theboyinthegoldmineSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toby Morrison is back and we had a great conversation about everything from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, leadership, communication and problem solving, to the complexity of success, meaningful work and God. We didn't miss much! Enjoy. **Toby founded CFS Health in 2009 after personally experiencing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and enduring a long and frustrating journey to recovery. Recognising the lack of awareness and available treatment for M.E., CFS and Fibromyalgia, Toby developed a step-by-step recovery program to encourage and support other sufferers.cfshealth.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two Metre Peter (aka Pete Shepherd) is back dropping truth bombs, inspiring the masses, sharing his considerable wisdom and doing his best to make sense of the nonsense. Some people are just really good to listen to. He's one of them. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
