#2243 The Friendship Litmus Test - Dr. Lillian Nejad

The You Project ·

2026/10/12

This was a fun chat with Dr. Lillian, where we explored the variables of human connection, building rapport, trust and functional relationships in different settings, situations and contexts. How can we consciously build connection with people that we don’t have a natural connection with? What are the attributes, skills and qualities of people who consistently find a way to build great connection with anyone, anywhere, anytime? And what determines a healthy friendship? Enjoy.See

#2242 Adapt or Die - Harps & Tiff

The You Project ·

2026/10/11

Adapt or die; it’s the evolutionary requirement for the survival of any species isn’t it? And on a far less dramatic note, it’s also a prerequisite for you and I to flourish, prosper and succeed in our day-to-day lives. We live in a world that is in a constant state of shift and change and being incapable of adaptation in such a dynamic environment is a recipe for frustration, stagnation and failure. This time around Tiff and I wax lyrical about our triumphs and failures while

#2241 New Addictions? - David Gillespie

The You Project ·

2026/10/07

For no particular reason, TYP and Gillespo have not been in the same room for a while but finally, the gang is back together. This is a slightly longer than normal chat (for us) and we covered some really interesting topics, including why Meta forked out $18 billion to avoid going to court, why behavioural addictions and drug addictions are kind-of the same, gamers becoming air traffic controllers (not even a joke), using AI without destroying your brain and why David’s favourite

2026/10/06

In Australia, Benjamin Siong is at the pointy end of fitness, strength, health, high-performance, education and human optimisation (my words, not his) and I valued the opportunity to chat with somebody with so much knowledge, experience and passion for helping people explore and fulfil their potential. Ben is the founder of LEARNASP, an international education platform redefining how trainers turn knowledge into real-world results. With an Honours degree in Applied Science, majoring in Psychology,

#2239 The Resurrection of 982 - Professor Munjed Al...

The You Project ·

2026/10/05

This might be my favourite episode of the year. Inspirational, educational and at times, confronting. I loved this chat. *Professor Munjed Al Muderis is an internationally recognised orthopaedic surgeon, humanitarian, author and pioneer in osseointegration surgery. Born in Iraq, he fled Saddam Hussein’s regime in 1999 after refusing an order to mutilate army deserters, eventually arriving in Australia as a refugee and spending ten months in immigration detention. He went on to become a leading

#2238 What Happens In The Brain As We Die? - Prof....

The You Project ·

2026/10/04

In the context of my last few months, this was an interesting conversation to have with Professor Tarvez Tucker, whose latest book “The Brain at Twilight: The Neuroscience of Our Last Words and Moments” explores the science of what happens in the brain as we approach death. Among many other things, we spoke about my dad‘s final words. It sounds like it might be a tough listen but it is actually quite fascinating.

#2237 What Shouldn't We Expect - Bobby Cappuccio

The You Project ·

2026/10/01

What should and shouldn’t we expect of others? If anything? Do we expect others to be how we want them to be? Or do we expect them to be what they’ve been the last hundred times? And while we’re at it, what do we expect of ourselves? Other than expectations, Bobby and I spoke about positive and negative drivers (moving away from the thing we don’t want, moving towards the thing we do want), the confusion around values and purpose, the overuse of self-help cliche’s,

#2236 Nonsense in Psychiatry - Prof. Gordon Parker

The You Project ·

2026/09/30

Prof. Gordon Parker was almost too smart for me to interview. Nonetheless, I gave it a crack and we covered some hefty subject matter and explored a few things on the lighter side, like Crapsules. And yes, they are actually what they sound like. Enjoy your breakfast. The good Prof. is one of Australia’s most distinguished and respected psychiatrists and mental health researchers who has published more than 1,000 scientific papers, written 23 books, is the founder of the Black Dog Institute and

#2235 Science and Religion Had a Chat - Dr. Bill...

The You Project ·

2026/09/29

What role does genetics, upbringing, culture, experiences, environment and social context have on the way we think, behave and treat others? Is free will real or an illusion? To what extent can science and religion coexist harmoniously and even agree? Are doctors and scientists less respected than they were 20 years ago? And if so, why? Are we getting our information from credible sources? And is our information actually information, or is it marketing? This was a fun chat with Dr. Bill. Enjoy.See

#2233 An Analogue Conversation - Patrick Bonello

The You Project ·

2026/09/27

Patrick is back at the TYP desk and this time we diverge from the typical tech conversation and find ourselves ruminating on all things psychology, emotions, sociology, human behaviour and a modicum of tech, just so he doesn’t feel totally redundant. LOL. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#2232 What Are Things Worth? - Bobby Cappuccio

The You Project ·

2026/09/24

The psychology of value, or perhaps more accurately ‘perceived value’ has been a curiosity of mine for years. Why would somebody pay $10,000 for a handbag? Is it 50 times better than the $200 handbag? Why would somebody happily pay $500 for a training session (it’s more common than you think) but complain about a $7 coffee? Why would somebody pay $1 million for a car that does pretty much the same thing as $50,000 car? And costs 40 grand for a service! Why does art from a world

#2231 The Science of Guilt - Dr. Jennifer Reid

The You Project ·

2026/09/23

Wow this was interesting. In nine years of the podcast, we have never had a conversation about guilt. And this was an eye-opener. Dr Jennifer Reid is a board-certified psychiatrist, author and clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. Columbia-educated and UCLA-trained, her work focuses particularly on women’s mental health, mood disorders and the psychology of guilt. She is the author of Guilt Free: Reclaiming Your Life from Unreasonable Expectations, which

Dr. Olivia Ong is a Melbourne-based rehabilitation and pain medicine physician, author and speaker whose personal story has profoundly shaped her career.

2026/09/13

So the new glasses that can video record people without them knowing, seem to be drawing a lot of attention, conversation and debate. Understandably. Having said that, they do have some legit and positive applications, depending on the context, purpose and situation. Like all technology, there’s responsible use and irresponsible use. I guess the challenge is to somehow regulate the use of these tools that can both improve lives, and destroy them. Of course we spoke about many other things and

#2224 Should You Become a Coach - Bobby Cappuccio

The You Project ·

2026/09/10

Tiff, Bobby and myself all coach people in various capacities, different contexts and for different reasons. But what is it that makes somebody a good coach? How much of it is about knowledge? How much of it is about personality? Social skills? Emotional intelligence? Self-awareness? Situational-awareness? Qualifications? I’m often asked about what’s required to become a successful coach in the avalanche of coaches we have putting up their hand in 2026. This is a chat about that.
