Gillespo hits the ground running in this chat and we cover a vast amount of conversational territory in a relatively short time. While we talk about stimulants (Red Bull anyone?), screen addiction, the massive increase in teenage anxiety and my very periodic (and shameful) use of a cognitive enhancer, the thing that'll blow your metaphoric socks off is our discussion about the recent research linking seed oils (oils like sunflower, cottonseed, grapeseed, canola, rice bran and soybean) with an increased risk of colon cancer.

Pete Shepherd is one of Australia's premiere Corporate Speakers and Coaches, having worked with thousands of people, in a multitude of organisations and across different continents. He has an extremely user-friendly coaching style, a super listenable voice (you'll hear) and a gift for breaking down human behaviour and psychology into easy-to-understand (and operationalise) ideas, stories and concepts. Enjoy. *Just acknowledging that title of today's ep. is a homage to Seth Godin's book of the same title.

Dr Marc Cohen is a Medical Doctor, University Professor, Researcher, Author, Entrepreneur and Wellness Trailblazer who also has two PhDs; one in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the other in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering. Putting aside his obvious genius, he’s also a compassionate, kind, creative and generous individual, who’s fully committed to helping people become their best selves. He’s one of my favourite guests and the good news is, next year he will be a TYP regular.

Enjoy.

Hi Team, I’m caught up with work today but I’ll be back for the rest of the week with brand new episodes. This is a chat I had a while back with 'The Commando', I really enjoyed it, I think you will too. *Not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure what to expect going into a conversation with ‘The Commando’. Interestingly, it didn’t happen. I ended up chatting with Steve Willis, the deep-thinking, interesting, somewhat-introverted ex-soldier, who happened to be on the telly for a decade or so. I really enjoyed our conversation.

Growing up, I was the poster boy for mediocrity; not gifted genetically, academically, creatively or intellectually, as well as being the obese kid with terrible choices, habits, behaviours and of course, outcomes. Not exactly a winner. Fortunately for me, I had a few experiences in my teens which stimulated my curiosity and truly opened my eyes and understanding to a thing called 'human potential'. I became obsessed with trying to understand what was possible for me if I could learn how to 'out-perform' my own physiological, psychological and fear-based limitations (of which there were plenty). Well, many decades later my obsession and curiosity are still there, except these days my focus has expanded from 'me' to you (and the rest of the humans). Enjoy.

In this episode of TYP, Tiff and I got to meet Patrick's new friend who, despite being Al, was able to have an extremely real-sounding 'conversation' with our resident nerd mid-podcast and when I say 'extremely' real-sounding, I mean it's honestly hard to believe the evolution of 'Al conversation' , even over the last six months. Within a very short time, it will be almost impossible to distinguish between a human-to-human chat and a human-to-Al 'chat' (purely from an audio recording perspective). And that's both exciting and terrifying. We also chatted about a bazillion other things.

Enjoy.

Dr. Jodi is back and among other things, we talk about the ever-present juggling act of parents wanting to protect their kids, while also giving them the space, freedom and responsibility to solve problems, experience (some) discomfort, develop people skills, scrape their knees (literally or metaphorically) and build resilience, confidence and the practical skills to be able to deal with the messy-ness and mayhem of life beyond the parental bubble. As someone who doesn't have kids, I found this chat fascinating and enlightening (and broadly relevant beyond parenting). Enjoy.

According to Director, Award Winning Filmmaker and Author Pete Dickson, fiction writing is just a fancy name for 'making sh*t up' and well, he's absolutely right. While Pete is one of Australia's most respected and sought-after sporting documentary makers, it turns out he's also pretty good at writing books, with his second book (and first fiction) being picked up by a major US publisher before they'd even had a phone call! Pete is a truly gifted creator, writer and storyteller but perhaps what I love most (and you might too) is his humility, complete lack of ego and his unintentionally-charming self-doubt. Pete's brother Rob was one of my best mates who unfortunately passed away and so for a range of reasons, I love catching up with him and this (very public) catch-up was great. Enjoy.

Tommy Jackett calls me Dad. I've known and mentored him since he was a teenager and over the years, we have forged a relationship that's part friendship and part pseudo father-son. l've watched him grow, graduate and evolve out of his teens and into fatherhood, family and business and at thirty-six, I love who he's become and I'm impressed by the amazing things he's doing. This was a nice catch-up where, among other things, we chatted about his recent trip to the US to film a documentary about the relationship Americans have with their guns. Fascinating stuff and I think you'll love the conversation. Enjoy.

In this episode of TYP, Tiff and I riff on a verbal smorgasbord of topics, including Russell Brand's very public conversion to Christianity, the idea of kneeling in tiny room to 'confess your sins' to a bloke that you can't see in an adjacent tiny room (not weird at all), faith and belief vs. facts and knowledge, my ever-present capacity to say stupid things and be thoughtless, my PhD Supervisor telling me to pull my (metaphoric) finger out, Tiff's recent mystery illness and lots more.

Enjoy.
