#1831 The Self-Help Messages I Hate - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/20

This is a follow on from yesterday's chat. Right now, it seems like we're in the middle of an internet avalanche of disempowering ideas, illogical concepts, pseudo-science, psycho-babble, misleading and magical thinking, masquerading as logic, science and research, and in this episode, I'm sharing some of my 'favourites' with you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1830 The Shadow Side Of Self-Help - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/19

The self-help industry promises transformation, happiness, and success through simple formulas, positive thinking, five-step plans and the occasional sunset, fluffy puppy and unicorn. Yet beneath this shimmering surface lies a troubling reality: much of what passes for "self-help" is a hodgepodge of feel-good platitudes, pseudoscience, magical thinking and oversimplified solutions that can do more harm than good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1829 Texting on the Crapper (& Other Habits of Mine)...

The You Project ·

2025/03/18

Dr. Bill's back and this time he almost scared me out of my toilet texting habit (I say 'almost'). According to the good Doc, in such scenarios the device in our hands has more germs on it than the device we're sitting on (yes, I said 'sitting'). Apart from our phones being home to a fascinating assortment of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms, we have nothing to worry about. Well, maybe the potential pooing and spewing extravaganza that can accompany the above mentioned germs

#1828 Psychology, Psychic Ability & Psychedelics -...

The You Project ·

2025/03/17

Once upon a time, Greg Riley was crowned Australia's most gifted Psychic (on national telly), which is kind of weird when you meet him because he doesn't seem 'woo-woo' at all. He's a regular ex-footy playing, suit-wearing, father-of-three, husband-of-one corporate bloke who has done 'readings' (of the psychic variety) for famous people (heads of state, royalty, entertainers) from all over the world. These days he's straddling the corporate, human behaviour, psychology, psychedelic and spiritual

#1826 Perfectionism - Dr. Lillian Nejad

The You Project ·

2025/03/15

Perfectionism (n.): the tendency to demand of others or of oneself an extremely high or even flawless level of performance, in excess of what is required by the situation. It is associated with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other mental health problems. *Our resident Clinical Psychologist Doctor Lillian is back and (no surprise) we unpack the psychology, sociology, physiology and practical consequences of perfectionism.

#1825 Being the White Belt - Harps & Tiff

The You Project ·

2025/03/14

For me, this was one of the most enjoyable, relevant, funny and amusing podcasts Tiff and I have done in a long time. While it's impossible to be objective about something you're in the middle of, to me it felt like a conversation that most people will connect with, relate to, benefit from or laugh at somewhere along the way. We spoke about 'getting good' at stuff, the social appeal and value of humility, our mutual inability to follow a script (versus going freestyle), my favourite guests (and

#1824 The Bodybuilder & The Scientist - Keith Ellis &...

The You Project ·

2025/03/13

Once upon a time (back in the old days), a Bodybuilder called Keith and a Scientist called Paul got together to create some nutritional products for themselves and a few friends to supplement and support their diet, training, and recovery. Three and a half decades later, they're still doing the same thing but on a slightly bigger scale. Since 1989, Max's (their company) has become one of the most successful and well-respected supplement companies in the world. This was a fun chat with two old

#1823 One-Legged Stools - David Gillespie

The You Project ·

2025/03/12

Gillespo's back talking about his tuba career (it was short-lived), his reluctant piano years, his total lack of musical aptitude (and tone-deafness) and he throws some shade at the validity of the 'ten thousand hours of practice makes perfect' theory (to be honest, l'm with him). We also talk about an amazing molecule (Molecule of the Year in 1992) that can blow sh*t up (literally), treat numerous cardiovascular issues (like angina) and is also used (broadly) to help blokes get an... ahem. you

#1822 The Two-World Theory | Harps & Tiff

The You Project ·

2025/03/11

This time on TYP, Tiff and I do a deep dive into the idea that you and I exist and operate in two-worlds; one that's external, physical, and visible (where 'life' happens) and another that's internal, non-physical, and invisible (where 'living' happens). We talk about the ever-present challenge of constantly navigating these two very-human 'places’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1821 My Health Protocol - Harps (PT2)

The You Project ·

2025/03/10

While this episode has been requested hundreds of times, it definitely won't be of interest to all. For better or worse, some people want me to do an episode on my personal health protocol, so here it is. In it, I talk about my diet, training (weights, cardio, flexibility), supplements, caffeine intake, sleep protocol, biological age, current fitness and health status (as rated subjectively by me), current body-fat level, weight, medication, cognitive function and training, and lots more. Enjoy. Or

#1819 Our Lumpy Friendship - Bobby Cappuccio

The You Project ·

2025/03/08

Bobby and I have been friends for about twenty-five years and it hasn't always been smooth sailing. Mostly yes, but not always. There have been some hard conversations, healthy disagreements, slightly-less-healthy disagreements and the odd honest misunderstanding but underneath it all, there was (is) always love, trust, respect and a strong brotherly bond. And fun, silly-ness and laughter. Of course. I liked this chat where we both got a little vulnerable and raw and spoke about all-things

#1818 The AI Doctor Is In - Patrick Bonello

The You Project ·

2025/03/07

According to our resident Tai Chi-teaching, tech-obsessed, loveable, father-of-one (Fritz the wonder Schnauzer), more and more people are making an 'appointment' with 'Dr. ChatGPT' (or similar) to diagnose and treat whatever ails them. Of course, it seems like a terrible idea as Al gets stuff wrong but then, so do humans. Humans also get tired, hungry and distracted but Al doesn't. Personally, I'll keep consulting my human option but Al is certainly opening us all up to a new world of virtual

#1817 The Torture Of OCD - Brad McEwan

The You Project ·

2025/03/06

Brad McEwan is best known as an Australian Television Presenter and Sports Journalist, having hosted Network Ten's 'Sports Tonight' for almost a decade. Apart from being a media superstar (my words, not his), Brad and I have been friends for decades, having first met when he trained in one of my gyms. Brad is a man of depth, integrity and kindness and as always, this was a fascinating an insightful conversation where we went deep down the rabbit hole of OCD, anxiety, physical, mental and emotional

#1816 The Proliferation of Coaches - Pete Shepherd

The You Project ·

2025/03/05

Health Coaches. Business Coaches. Executive Coaches. Life Coaches. Exercise Coaches. Mind Coaches. Nutrition Coaches. High-Performance Coaches. And on it goes. In the old days, my Coach was the bloke who screamed at me on the footy field. Back then there was only really one kind of coach; the sporting kind. Not anymore. In this episode Pete, Tiff and I talk about the good and bad, the how and how-not-to, the what-to-seek and what-to-avoid in the ever-expanding field of coaching. Enjoy.See

#1815 What's on the Other Side of Goals? - Harps & Tiff

The You Project ·

2025/03/04

This was a fun chat between the fledgling pianist and the old bogan, and we sure covered some ground. On the conversational menu was living authentically, the ten-thousand-hour mastery rule, the value of paying attention to the wisdom of our body (bio-feedback), the other side of goals, the benefit in doing something 'un-you', the willingness to bravely 'be the worst' at something (in the beginning) and Tiff's curious tendency to say the (non)word..

#1814 The Pill's Hidden Toll on Teenage Girls - David...

The You Project ·

2025/03/03

Well, this chat was a steep learning curve for the old bogan from Latrobe Valley. In this episode, Gillespo and I discuss the fascinating and complex history of the birth control pill - how a scientific breakthrough, a feminist movement, and a social revolution collided to change the world. But we also explore the unintended consequences, particularly for teenage girls. While the pill has empowered millions, emerging research suggests it may also pose serious risks to mental health, brain

#1813 The Fence Sitter - Harps

The You Project ·

2025/03/02

In this thought-provoking episode of The You Project, we challenge the conventional wisdom that "picking a side" is always the right move. What if the most insightful perspective comes from the fence itself? We explore why our culture pushes us to choose teams, how tribal thinking warps our perception, and why maintaining thoughtful neutrality might be an act of courage rather than indecision. Join me as we examine the hidden benefits of seeing both sides and discover how "fence sitting" could be

#1812 Is Biological Age BS? - Dr. Jeff Gross

The You Project ·

2025/03/01

This chat with Dr. Jeff was a conversational smorgasbord of health, medicine and human optimisation. The good Doc and I spoke about hormesis (where exposure to a low dose of a potentially harmful stressor triggers a beneficial adaptive response), the truth about biological age, melatonin, hormone replacement therapy (for men and women), heat shock proteins, senescent zombie cells and we even get Dr. Jeff's thoughts on the ramifications (good and bad) of the new US Government (the Doc lives in
