The You Project

This episode is part two of my chat about how we can optimise our time, energy, resources and genetic potential in pursuit of better exercise outcomes. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Facilitating more than forty thousand personal training sessions (my team completed over a million more) and working at the coal-face of fitness, exercise-programming, professional sport, and elite conditioning for decades, has given me a pretty good understanding of how to get the best bang for your buck when it comes to optimising your time, energy, resources and genetics, in relation to your exercise goals and needs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This casual chat with Tiff turned out to be quite personally revealing for both of us, given some of the private revelations on such a public platform. We both spoke about our individual predisposition(s) to be somewhat obsessive, addictive and periodically irrational (over the years). We also talked about some of the more curious things we've each done (and hidden from people), the idea of hitting the pause button on our day-to-day life for a period of time (a month or more), the ego of thinking that we're unique and special when we're literally one of eight billion, giving our parents a 'break', how I got totally addicted to training as a kid (I was crazy), a thing called anorexia athletica, why music is therapy for me and lots more.

Sometimes people ask for my advice and when I give it to them, they get their metaphoric nose out of joint because they don't actually want my advice; they want my endorsement. My approval. They want me to make them feel good about the thing they've already done or the thing they're going to do. Yep, giving advice can be a psychological, sociological, and emotional minefield and in this freestyle solo episode, I share my thoughts about the 'if, when, how, why and why not' of giving advice.

Bec Brideson is a published author, business strategy consultant, Fintech Founder and keynote speaker. In this episode, we chat about the excitement, potential and terror of Al in business and life, Bec's role in bringing awareness to the idea of marketing to women (surprisingly, it's a relatively recent occurrence), the incredible evolution of marketing, branding and media over the last few decades, the branding and development of the AFLW as a commercial entity and consumer product, a crazy concept (but one-time common practice) called 'shrink it and pink it' and the idea of gender commerce.

David Gillespie is a polymath. That is, he knows a lot about a lot. He has a voracious appetite for learning and a few years ago, when all of his six kids(!) were in school, he did a deep dive into the educational system in Australia, in an effort to gainer a clearer understanding of how it all worked, or in some instances, didn't work. Among other things, one of the outcomes of his investigation is the amazing charity he set up (with the help of many incredible teachers); freeschool.org.au. It is a totally free resource created to help Australian students and it's built around the current curriculum (2024), for students undertaking years 7 to 12. This chat went far and wide and was a little longer than usual (for David). Enjoy. freeschool.org.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Half a lifetime ago (for him), Tommy Jackett stumbled into my reality as a peculiarly curious, enthusiastic and passionate kid wanting to hang out with, and learn from, yours truly. Kind of weird for a teenager to be obsessed with personal development and my unique style of.. er.. teaching but nonetheless, he was. We’ve been connected ever since and now at the geriatric age of 35, he’s a dad of two, husband of one, successful businessman, gifted creative and not unlike me, something of a man-child. This was a nice chat talking about our individual and connected journeys since we met and some of the interesting lessons and insights to come from those experiences.

Yes, I realise how horrible the grammar is in that title; I don't care. Surprising, I know. Shannah Kennedy and Collen Callander have just released a new book called ‘Elevate: Unlock Your Extraordinary Potential’ and apart from the great discussion we had about their book, work and philosophy, what I loved about these ladies is that, at a time when some people are starting to slow down and wind down (in their fifties), these two powerhouses are building new businesses products and programs, breathing life into new ideas and creations, learning new things, writing new books, falling down, getting up, taking chances and inspiring others (of all ages) to do the same.

To say Justin Herald is a little anti-establishment and original, is like saying the ocean can get a bit wet. At the age of 25 with only $50 to his name, Justin set about changing the course of his life. He created Attitude Inc, a clothing brand that became an International licensing success turning over in excess of thirty million dollars per year. He was named the International Entrepreneur of the Year, awarded the Future Leaders Award, recognising him as one of the 50 most influential leaders of the next generation in Australia. Justin is also the Managing Director of Customer Culture, one of Australia's leading customer service and customer engagement training companies. He's also the author of eight international bestselling books and personally works with over 100 businesses each year. I loved this chat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
