#1068 Body Odour, Broccoli & Cranky Judges - Dr. Bill...

The You Project ·

2023/02/01

Did you know that being attracted to someone’s body odour via smelling a T-shirt they’ve worn for 14 days without showering (from a selection of smelly strangers, by the way) and then producing a child with that someone, could be great for your hypothetical kid’s health, immune system and longevity? And more broadly, great for the proliferation of the species? And yes, that 14-day stench-fest study is actual research. Did you also know that people spend more money shopping when they’ve recently had

#1067 Out Of The Darkness - David Graham (Farmer Dave)

The You Project ·

2023/01/31

I wasn’t sure what to expect going in to this chat because unlike a lot of people, I knew virtually zero about farmer Dave (my bad) but what ensued, was an hour of captivating conversation with a bloke who’s had (and continues to have) a fascinating life. After years navigating all kinds of darkness and eventually finding his way into the light of happiness, purpose, love and connection, he’s now helping others do the same. A movie could literally be made about Dave’s journey. Here are a few

#1066 Finding Purpose - Harps & Patrick

The You Project ·

2023/01/30

So much talk about ‘finding our purpose.’ ‘Living with purpose.’ Having a ‘purpose-filled’ existence. So little agreement on what that actually means. Like, do we have one (single) purpose? Or can it be many? Does it change over time? Is it pre-determined or me-determined? Does it choose us or do we choose it? Does it need to be a profound save-the-world (type) thing? Or can it be something simple (but beautiful) like being a kind person? Are there rules? Do we need to meet some moral, ethical or

The You Project ·

2023/01/28

Rabbi Dr. Mordecai Finley is the only Rabbi in the world who has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, so not only can he teach me Torah, provide spiritual guidance and explore philosophy with me but he can also D’arce choke me, Armbar me, Ezekiel Choke me (quite Old Testament), Heel Hook me and Omoplata the sh*t outta me (although he might not articulate it that way).

#1061 The Food Apocalypse - Matty Lansdown

The You Project ·

2023/01/25

Is the end of ‘actual’ food drawing nigh? It may be closer than we think. After a few recent stand-out appearances, Scientist, Nutritionist and Food Educator, Matty Lansdown has been the ‘flavour’ of the month at TYP. See what I did there? Lots of nice feedback, plenty of questions and a liberal smattering of “can we have Matty back soon?” requests. So... you’re welcome. This time we chat about good ol’ sausages (snags, bangers), why pasta puts me into a coma, cooked vs. raw veggies, mineral vs

#1060 Humans Are Complicated - Paul Taylor

The You Project ·

2023/01/24

Nearly a thousand episodes ago (pre-pandemic), TYP favourite Paul Taylor and I got together for our first podcast chat and to this day, it is still a conversation people talk to me about as being one of their all-time favourites. Knowing that many of you have not heard it, have forgotten what was said (it was four years ago) or didn’t know about it, we decided to wheel it out for an encore, with a little bit of post-pandemic (kind-of) 2023 Melissa and I commentary at the start.

#1059 Social Media: Tommy vs. The Machine - Tommy &...

The You Project ·

2023/01/23

For a range of different reasons - some of them business, some of them personal - many of us are keen to build our level of social media ‘engagement’. Put simply, we want more people to watch, hear and interact with us. A drive for more reach, influence, sales, likes, comments, awareness, attention, credibility, interaction and/or social connection (and probably lots more). Well, the social media go-to guy on Planet Harps is Tommy Jackett; one of my five (or-so), pseudo sons. For this episode I

2023/01/22

Dr. Elaine Aron is a psychologist and world-renowned author who is best known for her research and writing on the topic of ‘high sensitivity’ or ‘sensory-processing sensitivity’ (SPS). She has written numerous books on the subject, including "The Highly Sensitive Person" (an award-winning and ground-breaking book, which opened the door for an avalanche of follow-up research world-wide), "The Highly Sensitive Child" and her latest offering “The Highly Sensitive Parent: Be Brilliant in Your Role, Even

#1057 The Science Of Heartbreak - Florence Williams

The You Project ·

2023/01/21

After 32 years of being together and 25 years of marriage, Florence Williams discovered her husband was in love with another woman when he handed her his phone with the wrong email open (by accident). For Florence, the subsequent break down of her marriage was (as is often the case) traumatic, painful and heartbreaking. This was a broadly relevant and super-interesting chat with a woman who went on a significant journey to truly understand the experience and science, of heartbreak. Her recent book

#1056 Open AI vs. Harps (at Coaching) - Tommy & Harps

The You Project ·

2023/01/20

“Give me 15 strategies to change my life.” That was the instruction Tommy Jackett typed into ChatGPT (Open AI) before we recorded and ten seconds after his request, he had 15 strategies generated by the virtual brain. He then shared them with me (in real time) on the show to see what my thoughts were about the advice being dispensed (for people) by Artificial Intelligence. It was fun and I may soon be redundant (LOL). Enjoy. vidpod.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1055 The Concept Of No Mind - David Gillespie

The You Project ·

2023/01/19

Is it possible to ‘reset’ our brain? Can we overcome our massive dopamine (the pleasure hormone) addiction? What is at the core of our epidemic-like levels of depression, anxiety and stress? What about the addictive things we put into our body (drugs, booze, junk food and specifically, sugar) vs. the addictive things we feed our mind (porn, online gaming, shopping, social media, gambling)? How many addicts don’t recognise their own addiction? In this episode of TYP, David and I talk about all these

#1054 I Love You & Disagree With You - Dr. Sarah...

The You Project ·

2023/01/18

Apart from having the greatest accent of all time (for this Aussie), Dr. Sarah Woodhouse has a gift for discussing what-can-be complicated concepts and ideas in an easy-to-understand and easy-to-listen-to manner. Today we took a departure from ‘trauma’, her key area of research, writing and speaking and instead, we had great chat about chakras, reflexology, treatments and healing that doesn’t ‘make sense’ (in the Western medical model), echo chambers and ‘cults of thought’, designing our life based

#1053 Stop Ignoring What Your Body Is Saying - Harps

The You Project ·

2023/01/17

Your body ‘knows’ a lot. It is a magnificent example of biological intelligence and yours’ is always speaking to you; sometimes a whisper, sometimes a very direct chat and occasionally, a deafening shout. And if you’re like me, you’ve done some dumb sh*t to your body. Treated it badly. Abused it. Put toxic things in it. Ignored the messages. Lied to yourself. And others. Well, it can all change but only if you’re ready to own up and step up. I believe that in 2023, we pleasure-seekers, quick-fixers,

#1052 Becoming Ungiveupable - Harps

The You Project ·

2023/01/16

Every now and then (about four times in a thousand episodes), we-revisit a slightly-updated version of an old episode, which proved to be super-popular first time around. This is such an episode. Many of you newbies have never listened to it, some hard-core TYPers have relistened a bunch of times and many have listened once and (understandably) forgotten most of what was spoken about. Anyway, the idea of becoming ungiveupable is one that clearly appealed to many listeners. Being more resilient,

2023/01/15

This is was my favourite chat so far with Matty Lansdown, with a mix of incredible (occasionally terrifying) information about food ingredients, food marketing, food production, food preserving and the sneaky sh*t that food companies don’t want Matty and I chatting about. We spoke about the misrepresentation of products (via misleading and unethical marketing) and what’s actually in those products (for example, many of the ‘rye breads’, contain less than 10% rye flour and more than 40% wheat flour),

The You Project ·

2023/01/13

Patrick, our Favourite Geek is back at TYP Central HQ sharing the cyber love, talking about the latest gizmos and gadgets and let’s be honest, nerding out about all-things tech. Among other things, we talk about our shared 3D Avatar experience, the pros and cons of Open AI and Chat PT (some schools are banning it), a gizmo that sits in your toilet and every time you wee on it, it analyses your pee to detect potential medical issues (science), we talk about the cognitive and physical benefits of
