The TYP Chief Nerd is back geeking the f**k out about the (predicted) potential for downloading human consciousness into an 'electronic brain' (good grief),'Voicebox Al that can replicate not only your voice, but also the 'way' you speak, the new phone app that can detect skin cancer using pics of your skin, the 14 year-old genius who got a job working for Elon Musk as a Space X Engineer, the new Al that allows to have a ‘conversation with Jesus' and lots more.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Penny Locaso, the Happiness Hacker, is back and this time we discuss her latest research, interviewing 150 amazing women, the nature of trauma (it shows up in different ways), decision fatigue, hedonic adaptation, destination disappointment (when the achievement doesn't translate to the emotional state we thought it would), the point where support turns into mollycoddling, participation trophies, the pursuit of equanimity and lots more. hackinghappy.coLinkedIn: Penny LocasoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom Nash is inappropriate, funny, clever, atypical, creative and although he would hate me saying it, courageous. It's one thing to survive a life-threatening illness, it's another to thrive and mesmerise audiences around the world as a Keynote Speaker, DJ, and quadruple amputee like it's nobody's business. This is much more than an ‘inspirational chat' (in fact, it's not really that at all); it's a funny, interesting and stimulating conversation with a bloke who lost his limbs and just got on with life. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Professor Srikumar Rao operates at the intersection of business, sociology, spirituality, psychology and philosophy and his mission is to help people increase their consciousness, effectiveness, self-awareness and joy. He is an international speaker, bestselling author, and one of the most popular MBA lecturers in America. His courses are among the highest rated at many of the world's top business schools, including Columbia University and The London Business School. The Prof and I chatted about the Matrix (we're living in one, but not the one you think), our self-created illusion, mental and emotional prisons, why identity doesn't matter, raising our consciousness and why the 'idea' of success (how l'll feel when I get there) and the reality of it (how I actually feel when I 'succeed') are rarely the same. Super interesting. Enjoy. theraoinstitute.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Melanie Trecek-King is an Associate Professor of Biology at Massasoit Community College, where she teaches a general-education science course designed to equip students with empowering critical thinking, information literacy, and science literacy skills. Melanie has created a program called TIP (Thinking is Power) and she is of the opinion (as am I) that, while knowledge is valuable (of course), being able to think critically and independently, is the real superpower. Knowing stuff is great but being able to solve problems, make great decisions, choose our own beliefs, consciously write our own story and recognise the space between our programming and our original thoughts, is where the 'self' (me, you) emerges from the group-think, the group-behaviour, the echo chambers and the enormity of conformity. This was fun chat with a fun person. Enjoy. thinkingispower.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's official.. I’m in love. Sure, she's a 102. Sure, she lives on the other side of the world and sure, she has zero interest in me but nonetheless, I love her. And so will you. Dr Gladys McGarey was born in 1920 and began her medical practice at a time when women couldn't even have their own bank account. This is one of my all-time favourite episodes and it was a complete privilege to meet and chat with Dr. Gladys.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So often, there's something about our existence (body, bank balance, career, situation, relationship status) that we want to change (do, be, create, achieve) and then when we get 'there', boom.. we're happy. And fulfilled. Content. Calm. Good in theory, but... nah. In fact, hard nah. We often get there (reach our target destination), only to 'realise' (believe) that we need to lose just 3 more kilos. Earn $20K more. Run 5 minutes faster. Have that body part just a little bigger or smaller. Get ten percent more followers. And then... we'll be happy. Forever. Again... nah. This chat with Doctor Hannah was totally spontaneous (as is often the way), as we planned to discuss a completely different topic but nonetheless, I think you'll enjoy it. @nobullpsych hannahkorrel.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This chat was f**king fascinating, I learned a lot, the Doc is brilliant and I loved him. Not surprisingly, he has a somewhat hypnotic voice and energy. No pun intended. I think it's fair to say that the majority of us don't truly understand the science of hypnosis, it's numerous applications or its potential for healing, helping and treating a range of physical, mental and emotional conditions. *BIO: Dr. David Spiegel is Willson Professor and Associate Chair of Psychiatry & Behavioural Sciences, Director of the Centre on Stress and Health, and Medical Director of the Centre for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he has been a member of the academic faculty since 1975.
