The You Project

Jacqui Louder is the Sport Psychologist for the Collingwood Football Club (the most loved and hated team in the land) and as most of you know, her team recently won the AFL Grand Final. Well, we sat down and spoke about the multitude of variables (physical, mental, emotional, practical, organisational) that contribute towards winning the ultimate prize. And yes, we cover much more than just footy, sport and Collingwood. Enjoy. performe.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I hope my mum doesn't listen to this episode. Like, reaaaally, hope. Wait till you discover what tellydildonics are. And why people are 'marrying' robots. And how someone is Perth can use technology to give someone in Sydney (or New York) an orgasm. Again, don't listen Mary. Or Ron. People have long told machines what to do by pushing buttons. Now, with advances in technology, machines are pushing our buttons. In 'Artificial Intimacy' (my guest's book), evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks takes us from the origins of human behaviour to the latest in artificially intelligent technologies, providing a fresh and original view of the very near future of human relationships. Sex dollbots, digital lovers, virtual friends and algorithmic matchmakers help us manage our feelings in a world of cognitive overload. Apps can sense when users are falling in love, when they are fighting, and when they are likely to break up. These machines, the 'artificial intimacies', already learn how to exploit human social needs. And they are getting better and faster at what they do. So how will humanity's future unfold as our ancient, evolved minds and old-fashioned cultures collide with twenty-first-century technology? robbrooks.net@Brooks_RobSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I fu*king love Professor Beau Lotto. He's the least academic-y academic I know. He has an amazing ability to explain and explore - what can be - complicated stuff in an uncomplicated way. Among other things, we talk about destination disappointment (why achieving goals rarely equals satisfaction), the relationship between contentment and ambition, why we're addicted to certainty and why that's a problem (the certainty trap), the life of a scientific vagabond (him), why his company is called the Lab of Misfits, the idea of the world being a laboratory (taking research out of the lab), recognising and owning our bias, and lots more. Enjoy. **Bio: Dr. Beau Lotto is a neuroscientist and world-renowned expert in perception. His research explores the ways in which we experience the world through our own versions of reality. Beau is a three-time main stage TED speaker. He has spoken at the G8, Google's Zeitgest, Wired, Oslo Freedom Forum, Big Think and contributed to the BBC, National Geographic, Netflix and PBS. Beau is also the founder of the world's first neuro-design studio, Lab of Misfits. Part lab, part creative studio, Lab of Misfits takes a disruptive approach to research, partnering with brands to blend science, art and performance to explore pivotal principles in current culture. labofmisfits.com@labofmisfitsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1,300 episodes, we’ve never had a conversation about respect. Not sure why, because it’s something we all want and value (nobody wants to be disrespected). I want it. So do you. But what are the variables, factors and determinants? Well, here are my thoughts on the thing we all want. EnjoySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was recently on Mark LeBusque's podcast (Simply, Practically, Human) exploring the peaks and troughs, pleasure and pain, mayhem and magic of the human experience. This is our chat. Enjoy. The Simply Practically Human Podcast  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A full circle moment for me... The E-Myth was the first business book I ever read and it taught me about the concept of working 'on' my business and not just 'in' it. For me, it was enlightening, inspiring and transformational. And all these years later, I had the pleasure of chatting with the man who inspired me, Michael Gerber. I seriously love my job.

Apart from being a three-time Olympian, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, five-time World Championship Gold Medalist and five-time Commonwealth Games Gold medalist, Bronte Campbell is also a funny, interesting, intelligent, highly-focused and kind-of philosophical. That was my take anyway. This was an interesting chat with a super-athlete who, at times in her career, has been better than everyone in the world, except her sister.

I'm fascinated with the type of relationship people have with their jobs. For some people, it's something to be tolerated, survived and endured until the weekend. Or worse, retirement. For others, it's associated with more positive things like growth, learning, skill development, fun, connection, creativity and satisfaction. As a bloke who hasn't had a 'job' for thirty-four years, I f**king love my work but I'm saddened when I talk to people who seem to spend decades waiting for weekends and holidays, to experience joy. What if we got excited about Mondays?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
