The You Project

We sit more than ever. We move less than ever. And it's wrecking our health. In this episode, I unpack why sitting for eight-plus hours a day (with no movement) carries a death risk similar to smoking. From metabolic dysfunction to muscle atrophy, to brain fog to increased disease risk, we're paying the price for comfort. I share some facts, ask some hard questions, and offer simple, practical ways to reclaim your health... one movement at a time. Your body's not a chair accessory. Maybe it’s time to take a stand for your health - see what I did there? Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apologies team, I’m away from the mic today (back tomorrow) but in the spirit of ‘a daily podcast’, I thought we’d revisit our all-time most popular, most listened to, and most shared podcast. For whatever reason, this message resonated powerfully with many people and we have never received more feedback about any episode. For some of you it will be a brand new listen and for some of you, it might be a refresher. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Bobby and I talk about how, why and when people buy stuff (especially stuff they don't necessarily need), the psychology, perception and story of value, selling in a way that doesn't look or feel like selling, understanding what we're really selling (beyond the obvious product or service), establishing our own commercial worth in a market place of people doing what we do (or similar), how to impress without looking like you're.. trying to impress, a fascinating experiment involving a fake expensive shoe store (with a fake fancy Italian name) selling cheap shoes and manipulating people into paying a fortune for them. All that! Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Hannah is back and not only is she a Doctor of Neuropsychology but now (and even more impressive) she's a mum! As always the energy, info and inspo (as the kids call it) was great and we had fun chatting about the chasm between theoretical and experiential learning, the ever-increasing rate of diagnoses of mental health conditions, knowing when to chat to someone about your brain, creating an environment for optimal brain development for 0-5's (age group), Jeff the cat and the groundbreaking revelation (from the Doc) that babies require more effort, time and attention than pets.

How much free will do we actually have? How much are we controlled, determined, and driven by our genetics? And brain chemistry? Subconscious mind? Decades of programming? Fear? Of course, we love to think we're in control, but are we? TYP favourite Josh Piterman is back telling us about his new book (Behind the Mask) and along the way we do a deep dive into the mind, ego, soul, consciousness, fear, happiness, equanimity; you know.. the basics (lol).

Gillespo and the old-bodgey lifter of heavy things opened the protein door and had some fun exploring the science, the stories, the misinformation, the assumptions and the challenges for people eating certain types of diets. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to Nicole Liddell, "discipline is freedom" and if what she's been able to change, achieve and create over the last ten years is a byproduct of discipline, then I'd have to agree with her. Navigating mental health issues, obesity, poverty, domestic violence and a range of other challenges, and then evolving into the inspiration she is today (she wouldn't call herself that but I would), is nothing short of incredible. This is Nicole's second visit to TYP Central and just like the first one, l'm pretty sure most of you will love our conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is me thinking out-loud about success. The idea of it. The experience of it. The cultural story of it. The marketing and branding of it. What it is and isn't. Why some 'successful people' are miserable and some people that society would label poor are mentally, emotionally and experientially rich. Why we keep moving the goal posts. Why the idea of it (success) is rarely the experience of it. And lots more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not only is Dr. Jeff a specialist in regenerative stem cell medicine, anti-aging, longevity and integrative medicine but he's also a spine fellowship trained neurological surgeon. So, not an idiot then. With that in mind, this episode we decided to talk all-things 'dodgy backs'. Muscle stuff. Skeleton stuff. Sitting-on-our-arse stuff. Exercise and rehab stuff. Dealing-with-pain stuff. Treatment stuff and lots more. This was a broadly relevant and practical conversation that I believe many people will find helpful.

Hi Team, our tech nerd is back and here's what came up this time... Smart sunglasses with a built-in video camera/recorder that's recording you when you don't know; what could possibly go wrong? Jobs falling by the wayside as Al becomes the new much-cheaper 'preferred employee' for many companies. Nuclear batteries the size of a coin that will last without charging for a hundred years. Panic buying of vibrators (blame Patrick for that topic, not me). Why (some) people trust ChatGPT more than a lawyer for legal advice. Used EV batteries being repurposed to power homes, land plenty more. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
