#2207 Just F**king Start - Harps & Tiff

So many people spend so much time talking about starting, while never really truly starting. And when I say starting, I mean properly starting. As in, diving into the project or process fully committed to do the work (and not to stop), no matter what. So many ideas, plans, intentions and conversati…

#2205 The Awareness Pyramid - Bobby Cappuccio

Not unlike most episodes with Bobby and Tiff, this one meandered away from the core topic and back, but much of the conversation was exploring what I call ‘The Awareness Pyramid’ - a kind of summary of what I’ve been working on for the last six and a half years in my PhD. Enjoy.

#2200 Australia's No. 1 Biohacker - Lucas Aoun

Lucas Aoun is a naturopath, researcher, educator and one of Australia’s most respected and popular biohackers. This was one of my favourite conversations this year. Personally, I learned a lot.

#2198 Is AI Making Us Dumber? - Harps Solo
