The You Project

Sometimes I'm like a podcasting version of a Labrador puppy. All over the place. Trying to explore everything all at once. So many things to do (and chew on), so little time. My intention going into this totally unscripted and mostly unplanned solo episode, was to talk about the futility and potential harm of arguing. Not the healthy intellectual, respectful kind of debate but rather, the unhealthy, emotional screaming at each other (type of) exchange. Well, I did that, but I also went off on seventeen different tangents and got quite deep and philosophical towards the end. Somebody asked me yesterday if I'm scared of running out of things to talk about on the show. I told them, I'm scared of not having enough time to scratch the surface.

Patrick is back talking all things tech, human optimisation, virtual reality, the Beatles 'new' Al assisted song, why we should start recharging batteries used in the home, how China is stopping its drivers from falling asleep at the wheel (it's weird), how 'Caspering' is replacing ghosting (don't ask) and lots more.

Trav Bell and I have shared similar journeys, beginning in the fitness world and ending up in the professional speaking space. Sure, he’s younger, better looking, more charismatic and more successful than me but other than that, peas in a fucking pod.

Trying to manage my mind is often like trying to herd cognitive cats. Painful. Pointless. Hilarious. You? If you're like me, your mind can be a source of pain and pleasure, chaos and calm, fascination and boredom, focus and distraction, and that's all before breakfast. Your mind is 'You HQ’.. your operational headquarters. It is the platform from where you view, process, interpret and understand the world around you. In this freestyle solo episode, I discuss the ever-present challenge of trying to understand, manage and optimise the human mind. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tara Jarrett and I have been friends for thirty-something years. I emceed her wedding to Russ (a TYP regular), I’m Godfather to her son Mitch, I spoke at her gorgeous dad’s funeral, we owned a gym together and over the years, we have been through a lot. Which is why I’m super proud of her capacity to repeatedly dream a dream and then turn that theoretical ‘something’ into a real-world commercial success story, while simultaneously being a great mum, wife and daughter. Her latest business venture has caught fire and it looks like, by the end of 2025, there’ll be more than fifty of her unique centres, Australia wide. To find out what it is, you’ll have to tune in.

This episode will probably ruffle a few feathers, challenge a few beliefs, inspire a few people, confuse a few people, give hope to some, and maybe arouse some curiosity. For those of us with pre-existing thoughts, beliefs and ideas (you and me), it can be difficult to consider information, concepts and stories which don't fit in to our model of the world and how we think things work. Nonetheless, I did my best to open my mind, overcome my programming and conditioned thinking, be fully present and to respectfully and curiously consider what Dr. Eben Alexander had to share. He definitely challenged some of my thinking but to be honest, much of what he had to share resonated strongly with me. I enjoyed this chat and it left me with much to ponder. *Bio: Academic neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander III, whose career includes decades as a physician and associate professor at Harvard Medical School and revered teaching hospitals, was once staunchly committed to the materialist world view - the belief that the physical world is all that exists. His scientific belief system was altered by his 2008 transcendental near-death experience (NDE), an odyssey into another realm during a week-long coma. Despite a bleak medical prognosis, Dr. Alexander awoke to make an inexplicable return to full health. His medical case and recovery were validated in the peer-reviewed 'Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease'. Since his NDE, Dr. Alexander has been reconciling his rich spiritual experience with quantum physics, cosmology and the philosophy of mind. Dr. Alexander speaks around the world to educate about the role that consciousness plays in wellness, healing and recovery. ebenalexander.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this podcast, the speaker discusses the importance of connection and effective communication in relationships. They explore understanding and aligning with different perspectives, the power of individual perception, and the importance of understanding others for personal and professional success. They also provide tips for improving connection and communication through active listening and being fully present.

Julie Mathers is funny, super smart, down to earth, purpose-driven and although it sounds totally cliche, inspirational. It's rare that I chat with someone l've never met and instantly, it feels like we've been friends for years. Julie has that skill, that personality, that emotional intelligence and that genuine drive to connect with others. Apart from the fact that she is a highly successful and award-winning entrepreneur (she owns Flora and Fauna, Snuggle Hunny and Nourish Life), she's also a mum (of two), a wife (of one) and the lowest maintenance podcast guest of all time.

Dr. Scott Lyons believes I have what it takes to make it in Drag. As in, Drag Queen. I suspect there'll be some trimming, manicuring, waxing and tucking (don't picture that) before my debut but with his coaching and support, I believe I can pull it off. So to speak. Before Scott was a Psychologist, Author, Researcher and Doctor of Osteopathy (quite the combo), he performed professionally as a Drag Queen to pay his way through University (College). I love that story. This conversation went far and wide (clearly), but we did manage to have a serious and fascinating chat about the what, why, how and healing of trauma. I love my job and I love that I get the opportunity to listen, learn and laugh with brilliant, generous people like Scott. drscottlyons.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trying to get David Gillespie's approval (one of my many pointless pursuits), is exhausting. Just when I think I'll get the Gillespie tick, he pulls the rug out from under my optimistic feet. And while I naively thought my new choice of mayo would impress him, it didn't. Sigh.Fortunately for you, he does give us a list of healthier options. We also chat about the ten things he might actually buy from a supermarket, how the layout of supermarkets is an exercise in manipulation, the low-down on soy products, deceptive and misleading food packaging, the genesis story around RDI's (recommended daily intakes), the ever-growing list of 'milks' on the shelf and lots more.
