The Tai Chi-teaching, rural living, nature loving, tech geek, father of one (dog) is back, and this time we chat about the potential ban on kids under sixteen accessing social media, the pros and cons of our current digital world, the first bloke to have a Neuralink implant, how the new super-dooper Al programs aren't always super or dooper, headphones that allow you to clearly hear an individual voice (the person your chatting with) by blocking out all the other voices in a noisy room (I want those), a self-balancing motorcycle (ridiculous but Patrick loves the idea) and China's new robot dog that comes complete with a machine gun on its back. What could go wrong?

#1540 Weaponised Robot Dogs - Patrick Bonello

There’s what you’re actually capable of doing, creating, learning and becoming, and then there’s the story of what you should and shouldn’t be doing “at your age”. One is an ocean of possibilities and one, a self-created prison. I’m of the belief most people ‘get old’ before they need to.

This is conversation about potential and possibilities at any age.

#1585 The Psychology Of Ageing - Harps & Tiff

In this episode, Gillespo and I realise that we may be workaholics, although l'm not exactly sure how one 'qualifies' for a such a dubious badge of distinction but if we're not, we're definitely in the neighbourhood. Workaholic adjacent, perhaps. But I guess the good news is that both of us seem to derive great pleasure, fulfilment and satisfaction from what we do and in the middle of our busy-ness, neither of us appear to be suffering from any kind of exhaustion, burnout or mental malaise. This was an atypical Gillespie-Harper interaction because rather than chatting about a particular topic (as we normally do), we had an organic freestyle chat and I had the opportunity to pull back the 'Gillespie Curtain' (just a smidge) and learn a little more about the man behind the brilliant brain.

#1584 The Workaholics - David Gillespie

Ironically, changing your body doesn't have as much to do with your body, as you might think. Mostly, because your body doesn't make bad decisions. Or tell lies. Or wait for the magical right time. Or rationalise bad behaviours and outcomes. No, the human body is an amazing biological system that simply responds to (deals with) the choices, behaviours, rituals and habits of the owner-operator. You and me. The human body doesn't choose booze, junk food, drugs, laziness, toxic habits or a crap lifestyle. No, it just tries to survive it. Being 'out of shape' is not a body problem; it's a person problem with a body consequence. Forty years at the coal-face of fitness and health have repeatedly taught me that if a person can't manage their mind, they can't optimise their body.
