At the youthful age of sixty, Tony Mantz (Jack the Bear) is figuring out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. The guy who once tipped the scales at 170kgs and consumed eight litres of coke daily (216 teaspoons of sugar), while having an actual coke (cocaine) habit is back and we had a great chat about reinvention, possibilities, ageism, retirement, getting better with age, the psychology of age, starting over, building a new career (at sixty) and lots more. Enjoy.

#1497 Starting Again (At 60) - Tony Mantz (Jack The Bear)

This was another deep dive into the human experience with Dr. Cam. We spoke about the propensity some of us have to always look for a problem, while overlooking all the great stuff in our lives. "Looking for a needle of negativity in a haystack of hope", I call it. We also spoke about the lack of awareness many of us have around understanding our own potential, possibilities and power - and the subsequent consequences. We also chatted about our inability (or unwillingness) to understand or explore the objective reality of events, circumstances and situations, beyond the subjective stories we tell ourselves about those things. And lots of other stuff.

Enjoy.

Most of you know my thoughts about the importance of understanding how other people think and having a level of social awareness and interpersonal insight bigger than us. So, l decided to record a casual, non-jargony tutorial on how we might improve that particular skill and make ourselves more informed, effective, inspiring and aware, in the middle of all kinds of human interactions. 

Enjoy.

#2143 Why It's Important to Understand How Others Think - Harps

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/cc165802-77f7-4c50-a0bb-b43100558494/transcript

This time on TYP, I chat with Jessica Maguire - Physiotherapist, Speaker, and best-selling Author of "The Nervous System Reset." We explore what it actually means to "regulate your nervous system", not as a buzzword, but as a practical, trainable skill that shapes how you think, feel, and function. Jessica shares how early experiences - even from the womb — can influence our nervous system wiring, why two people can live through the same event but have completely different internal reactions, and how much of our suffering comes not from what happens... but the story we attach to it. We unpack interoception (your ability to sense what's happening inside your body), neuroplasticity, and how change is not only possible - it's biological. There's also a powerful and deeply human conversation around grief, loss, and trauma, as Jessica shares how personal tragedy reshaped her life and work - and how learning to work with the body, not just the mind, became her path forward. This is a conversation about becoming calm in the chaos... not by controlling the world, but by understanding your nervous system.
