This episode with Niraj Naik was a mind-expanding, paradigm-shifting and enlightening conversation. For me anyway. I suspect it's a conversation that some people will listen to multiple times and others might find it a little to woo-woo for their liking. Which I get. But personally, I loved it. Niraj is a Pharmacist turned holistic health and breathwork expert, professional musician, serial entrepreneur, and one of the world's most sought-after spiritual ceremony facilitators. My intention going in was a 40-50 minute chat, but what eventuated was a two-part 75-minute chat, that I didn't want to end. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a long list of things which, for better or worse, impact how our brain 'works'. From getting punched in the face, to booze, to sleep, to dehydration, to nutritional deficiencies, to physical inactivity, to lifestyle and lots more. If you're interesting having a brain that works well, take a listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toby Morrison from CFS Health is back and this time we talk about the idea of having a purpose bigger than ourselves and the challenge of building a business, brand and/or career which works on both a commercial level (makes a few bucks), and is also a practical expression of our values, ethics, beliefs and aspirations to do good in the world. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The thing about a David Gillespie chat is, I never know WTF he's gonna talk about, where the conversation will go, whether l'll be smart enough to keep up and how many people he's gonna piss off with his insights. This time we spoke about some fascinating new research highlighting the significantly greater risk of concussion for women in contact sports, specifically, the AFLW which is 4-6 higher for women. We also spoke about the dangers of fluoride (yes, fluoride), the crazy amount of sugar consumed by the average Aussie per day and whether or not, fruit gets the tick of approval from the Chief of the Sugar Police.

Dr. Jodi Richardson is one of Australia's foremost speakers, authors and educators in the area of anxiety. And while she's pretty good at the science- and academic stuff, she also navigates her own challenges with anxiety on a daily basis. Amazingly, Jodi has found a way to not only survive her anxiety but more importantly, a way to perform, succeed and thrive, in the middle of it.

Dr. Alon Loeffler is a scientist specialising in Synthetic Biological Intelligence, with his key research focus being the interplay between structure and function in neuro-memristive nanowire networks. What? (I hear you say) In simple terms, he is building a brain (of sorts) in the lab. At the very least, synthetic neurons (brain cells) which he's currently 'teaching' to play basic computer games (like Pong). Moving into the future, it's possible that his work will have a myriad of applications, especially in the medical space. Alon's interests lie at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, nanotechnolosy and philosophy; areas such as brain-computer interface, neuroengineering and neuromorphics. You might wanna have a coffee before you listen to this (lol). Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I loved this conversation and I love Emmanuel Kelly. He is a true inspiration and I rarely say that because I think typically, it's an overused cliché. But not with this bloke. Emmanuel was found as an infant in a box on a battlefield on the border of Iraq. At an incredibly tender age, Emmanuel witnessed executions, bombings, and wondered every day if that day would be his last. At age 7, he was brought to Australia by humanitarian Moira Kelly for life changing surgery and learned to walk for the first time. After overcoming tremendous obstacles, and at only 18 years of age, Emmanuel became an Australian X Factor sensation, garnering over 500M views online. He has since toured with Coldplay, opened for Snoop Dog, performed with David Foster and legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold and performed at the United Nations Assembly multiple times. For me, conversations like this remind me of how awesome people can be. And Emmanuel is just that. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
