#268 Body Transformation Programs

The You Project ·

2020/09/03

In this episode of TYP, I discuss the Pros and Cons (yes, there are both) of body transformation programs. And while it might seem like a singular focus on a singular topic, it’s actually a much bigger (and broadly relevant) conversation about everything from consistency, mindset, temporary behaviours, expectations, self-sabotage, why people fail and post-program bingeing to subconscious programming, organisation, goal-setting, accountability and (of course), creating lasting transformation.

#267 Bodyweight, Body-fat and Body Composition

The You Project ·

2020/09/01

Depending on the assessment tool, my body can be classified anywhere on the continuum from borderline obese (height-weight chart, BMI) to very lean (body composition analysis). No wonder people get frustrated and confused. *Note: Apologies for the audio quality in this episode. Few challenges in lockdown recording conversations over the ol’ interwebs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#266 The Slippery Slope of Addiction

The You Project ·

2020/08/30

I was recently interviewed by Jack Nagle on his Podcast ‘Real Drug Talk’ and I think this is a conversation that many people will find interesting. Jack and I first met working at DayHab (our major sponsor); the one-time teenage ice addict and the boofhead Exercise Scientist. Among other things, Jack questions me about my thoughts and experiences around all kinds of addictive and obsessive behaviours, working with addicts, the ‘less-conventional’ addictions, my somewhat obsessive and addictive

#265 Oldies Lifting Heavy Sh*t

The You Project ·

2020/08/28

Dean Mawby, is a pioneer in the area of strength training for the 60 plus age group and this is a great chat about an important issue. I’ve long been an advocate of strength training for our ‘more experienced’ citizens, with benefits ranging from the obvious physical, practical and medical, to the not-so-obvious social, emotional and cognitive. Everything from improved strength, function, bone density endurance, balance, energy and overall physical performance, to improved self-esteem, confidence,

#264 Seek First to Understand...

The You Project ·

2020/08/27

This turned out to be something of a teaching session, with me banging on about everything from empathy, awareness and consciousness to communication, connection, subjective reality and viewing the world through someone else’s window (journey, stories, beliefs, values, culture, fear, experiences, emotions). Mostly though, it’s a conversation about the importance and value of understanding (but not necessarily agreeing with) other people and the variables that drive human behaviour (good, bad or

#263 Why Do I Say Yes, When I Should Say No?

The You Project ·

2020/08/25

This might be my favourite short episode of TYP. I love the topic and information in this instalment because it’s relevant, relatable and real for everyone. Why? Because we all say yes, when we know we shouldn’t. People-pleaser anyone? Scaredy-cat? This episode is actually one of the thirty sections from my online audio program. It hasn’t been released (free to the public) until now. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#262 Workplace Mental Health (and other stuff)

The You Project ·

2020/08/23

Anna Feringa is an expert in Workplace Mental Health (super interesting for right now), Author, Trainer and International Speaker who is passionate about building a deliberate, energising and healthy culture in workplaces. Sadly, Mental Health is now the leading cause of workplace disability globally. Despite the serious subject matter, this was a fun conversation (believe it or not) with an outstanding (and funny) communicator who ‘gets’ it. You’ll like her. Enjoy.annaferinga.com.auSee

#261 "Easier Said Than Done"

The You Project ·

2020/08/22

On a semi-regular basis, someone responds to one of my messages with this enlightening revelation “that’s easier said than done”, to which I reply, “of course it is; literally EVERYTHING is easier said than done”. I will lose weight and keep it off forever (easy to say). I will quit smoking (also easy). I will change my life (easy). I’ll never do that thing again (just more words). Which is why saying stuff is way more popular than doing stuff; it’s easy and requires no actual sweat or ongoing

#260 Transition-ABLE: The Power of Transitions

The You Project ·

2020/08/20

JoAnna Ferrari lived male for 53 years. She was successful in business and happily married with 3 children for 23 years before finally making the difficult decision and commitment to transitioning her gender from male to female. Her announcement sent a shockwave through her entire world that caused her to lose everything; family support, friends, career and nearly, her life. ‘JJ’ as she prefers to be called, had the kind of professional and personal life people dream of but the dream ended and the

#259 Meditation, Medication and Dedication

The You Project ·

2020/08/18

Imagine a funny, likeable, clever bloke who stands in front of audiences for a living to inspire, tell stories, encourage, empower and educate. A knockabout bloke who is one of Australia’s most sought after speakers. A bloke who’s succeeded in business and worked at the pointy end of a small organisation called Facebook. Now, imagine a bloke who suffers from PTSD, is medicated every day for depression, is a sexual abuse survivor and is a bloke who suffers from overwhelming and crippling anxiety

#258 Lessons from the Whiteboard

The You Project ·

2020/08/16

Over the years, I’ve posted more than three thousand whiteboard messages on my @whiteboardlessons IG page and thousands more on my two FB pages. So, when Melissa showed up for episode 258 with 14 randomly picked whiteboards for me to explore, explain and expand on, I had zero idea what she had chosen or what I would be talking about, until she shared each one with me live as we recorded the episode. I think it turned out well. See what you think. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

#257 Listener Q and A (with Bobby Cappuccio)

The You Project ·

2020/08/15

This was going to be a two-part Q and A session with Bobby and I but it wound up being one long-ish episode. I apologise in advance as there are a few moments where the audio is not awesome (totally listenable though) and we manage to talk over each other a little, as is often the way when there’s a slight delay chatting with someone on the other side of the world. Nonetheless, we covered some interesting topics and had fun. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#256 Self-Help vs. Helping Yourself

The You Project ·

2020/08/13

I started this episode thinking I was heading in a certain direction (topics, discussion, themes) and, as is often the way with a good conversation, I was totally wrong. We went somewhere totally different and what transpired was something much more powerful and interesting than my lame plan. It’s not often that Melissa lets her guard down and opens up about her thoughts, experiences and challenges (probably because I talk too much) but that all changed in this episode. This is my favourite Melissa

#255 John McMahon (The Rev)

The You Project ·

2020/08/11

John McMahon is an interesting character with an interesting past, who’s living an interesting life, helping troubled teens navigate their own challenges and hopefully, to avoid some of the things he didn’t. Complete with Harleys, ink and colourful past, the Rev (as he’s known) is anything but typical and while his approach to working with kids is not exactly Chapter 4 of the ‘Psychology for Teens’ manual, maybe that’s why his words and work resonate with both kids and parents alike. This was a fun

#254 Tiff Cook Punches People in the Face

The You Project ·

2020/08/09

Tiff Cook booked in for a coaching session three years ago and hasn’t stopped stalking me since (her words). And while she continues on her own personal and professional development journey, it’s fair to say that she’s been doing her own share of empowering, inspiring and coaching others towards their best lives. Tiff has a really interesting story and this conversation ended up being about one third podcast, one third coaching session and one third therapy session (for both of us). Enjoy. See

The You Project ·

2020/08/08

Exercise Physiologist and Elite Conditioning Coach Russ Jarrett (M.Ex.Sci.), joined me for a slightly-sciencey chat about all things fitness and exercise. Along the way, we discussed progressive overload, program design, finding the right ‘dose’, how and when adaptation happens, training intensity, recovery, over-training, kids training, periodisation, weight training for strength vs. power vs. hypertrophy vs. muscular endurance and lots more.@russell_jarrett1russelljarrett.com.auSee

Tony Doherty is a Business Man, Entrepreneur, Fitness Industry Pioneer, Gym Owner, Business Partner of Arnold Schwarzenegger and among other things, the Godfather of Australian Bodybuilding. He’s also interesting, creative, funny and a curious mix of brutality and compassion. Tony and I go way back, we’re good mates and this was a fun chat.

#250 Anxious Kids (and Grown-ups)

The You Project ·

2020/08/02

Not only is Dr. Jodi Richardson an expert in the field of understanding, explaining and treating anxiety, she’s also been dealing with it personally her entire life. So when she writes (two books on the topic), talks and teaches, she’s speaking from, not only an academic, research and clinical perspective, but also from a place of lived experience. This is a great chat and I learned a lot.drjodirichardson.com.au@drjodirichardsonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#249 Metacognition: Thinking about Thinking

The You Project ·

2020/08/01

Your mind is ‘You HQ’; it’s your cognitive, social, personal, professional, academic, creative and practical headquarters. It’s the place where stories are told, decisions are made, habits are formed, data is processed, lessons are learned, meaning is given, beliefs evolve, fears are embedded, understanding grows, confusion prospers, problems are solved (and created), calm and chaos are neighbours, life is shaped and personality reality is created.
