Dr. Bill Sullivan is a world-renowned Scientist, Researcher, Educator and Author who graces us with his vast knowledge and wit on a monthly basis here at TYP, and I couldn't be more grateful. 'Pleased to Meet Me' (subtitle: germs, genes & the curious forces that make us who we are) is the title of his 2020 book and that (among other things) was the focus of our chat for this episode.

Today we are revisiting one of my favourite chats with former SAS operative, turned reality TV star, Ollie Ollerton. I loved his insight into human nature and behaviour and his ability to explore the complexities of life (surviving and thriving), in an easy to understand manner. Enjoy.

I'm obsessed with becoming a better writer (both creative and academic) and this conversation was a cheeky chance for me to tap into the mind of, not only a brilliant writer but also, a brilliant teacher of writing. Lucky me. Creating connection, building rapport, telling stories and sharing information through the medium of writing is indeed an art, so I was totally excited to be part of this conversation. Professor Shellie Richards is an award-winning author (The November Molecule), and an award-winning Academic who spends her days at Vanderbilt University teaching authors of the future, writing grants, and editing scientific manuscripts. She is also the Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Communication of Science & Technology and also serves as the pDirector of the Technical Writing Collective. As a research editor, she has edited more than 200 scientific manuscripts and documents, 120 grant applications and two textbooks.

Sometimes you meet someone and quickly feel a connection and a familiarity that's inexplicable but real, nonetheless. It was like that (for me) with Dr. Rob Bell. Rob is a rock star in the areas of Athletic Performance, Human Potential and more specifically, Mental Toughness. We covered lots of ground in this one, I loved him and you will too. Enjoy.

At school, David Gillespie was an academic standout, while I was more of an academic stand-outside-the-principals-office, kind-of student. Not even joking. This was a fun chat where we talked about the significant differences between our teenage reality (in the 70's and 80's) and the reality of teenagers today. We chatted about the myriad of challenges, hurdles, and variables that us old b*stards didn't have to navigate in our day, as well as exploring the ‘emerging addictions' that are wreaking havoc on (some of) our younger generation.

Well, this was fun. Dr. Sherry and her energy almost make me look unenthusiastic and shy! We had a great time and her ability to communicate the 'science of the brain' in an easy-to-understand manner, is gold. Having said that, she does talk quickly and has a (beautiful) accent, so you might need to lean in and listen carefully at times.

It's been a while since I assumed the Exercise Scientist role but today was the day. Tiff and I unpack some of the most common (and easily rectified) mistakes that people make in the gym (or any training environment, for that matter). We keep it simple, broadly relevant and jargon-free. If you're training consistently but not getting the results you're after, take a listen. Enjoy.

This episode is unlike any I've done. It's an hour(ish) of me discussing the good and bad, painful and beautiful, theological and psychological.. of my religious (and spiritual) journey. It's not for everyone but some may find it interesting. The good news is, I'm not selling anything to anyone, there's no 'call to action', there's no bombshell and l'm not starting a cult. It's just me opening a door that l've (mostly) kept closed on the podcast. Also, if you heard BetterHelp on the show today, you can get 10% off your first month at BetterHelp.com.au/TYPSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our go-to Neuropsychologist Dr. Hannah is back, demystifying, defining and unpacking neurodiversity in all its variations. Over the last decade, our awareness and understanding of the variability of the human brain is something that has greatly expanded and thankfully, continues to evolve. Among other things, we speak about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder), Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Enjoy. Oh yeh (I almost forgot), I also 'get in trouble' from the Doc for referring to myself as a "fat kid."
