Technology can be awesome and life-saving. It can also be terrifying and destructive. To be honest, l'm simultaneously excited, curious and fearful about the impact of technology on us as a species, moving forward. Anyway... Patrick is back and this time we chat about the therapeutic benefits of music for mind, body and healing, lifestyle factors which can influence lifespan (marital status, owning a pet, religion, faith), kids trust in robots vs. adults, the convergence of our real (physical) world with virtual reality, an electric car with a 1,000km range on one charge, cars becoming 'too smart' for low-tech drivers (okay, me), Patrick's dream of being able to teleport and lots more. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a something of a medical mystery and for those who live with it, it's a total f**ker. And while there's still no single 'cure' (as such), no consensus on treatment and no clear understanding of what causes it (the underlying 'why'), there is hope, people do fully recover and progress is being made. At the same time, it is still a misunderstood condition, with many people (some in the medical field) still believing it's all "in the mind", sufferers just need to "try harder", stop "being lazy" and to "toughen up" (good grief). Toby Morrison (and his team) from 'CFS Health’ have helped thousands of people in more than sixty countries navigate their CFS journey and they are doing some amazing work, giving people hope and helping them regain their health and lives. For those impacted by CFS in some way (directly or indirectly), or maybe those who just want to learn more, this conversation is an eye-opener.

What is our potential for 'getting better' after forty? Physically, mentally, emotionally, practically, personally and professionally? Can we change the way our body ages? Can we learn new things, develop new skills, overcome fears and destructive habits, reduce anxiety and build a better life with better experiences and outcomes? Can we build muscle and strength, change our body composition, improve posture, strengthen our immune system, improve cognitive performance, immerse ourselves in academic learning, change the way we think and understand ourselves better? This episode is a conversation about all that and more. Enjoy. *Warning: I may get a little evangelical, soap-boxy, arse-kicky and intense at times.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a brief chat with our favourite Nutritionist where we do our best to clarify some of the confusion and misinformation surrounding BMI, height-weight charts, body-weight vs. body-composition and what actually matters, from a health perspective. We also talk about why l'm classified as over-weight (almost obese) by the Body Mass Index and what that means. mattylansdown.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel Goleman is the Michael Jordon of Emotional Intelligence (EQ). More than any other individual on the Planet, Daniel has brought awareness, understanding, curiosity and the science around EQ into the collective consciousness of the masses. For me, this chat was an opportunity to meet an academic hero, and also the bloke whose 1995 book 'Emotional Intelligence' sat on the NY Times bestseller list for almost two years. Don't miss this chat. danielgoleman.infoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would you let Neuralink (an Elon Musk enterprise) implant a small device on your skull (under the skin) called a 'Link' which plugs into your brain via tiny, flexible electrodes, giving you instant wireless access to external devices like computers and smartphones? In other words, would you like instant internet access (all the online information in the world) 'in your brain' anywhere, anytime? Well, for better or worse, it seems this reality isn't far away. In this episode, David and I unpack the pros, cons and potential risks of current and emergent technology. freeschool.org.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
