S1 Ep 708#708 The Velvet Sledgehammer of Recovery - Dr. Robb Kelly

Dr. Robb Kelly has overcome homelessness, alcohol dependency, trauma, major depression, PTSD and a whirlwind of events to be the ‘Gordon Ramsay’ of the addiction treatment world. Before Robb succumbed to addiction and mental health issues, he played bass guitar at Abbey Studio with Queen, David Bowie and Elton John. He is an accomplished musician and the money he made helped him attend Oxford University to complete his Ph.D. in Psychology. Robb experienced a spiritual awakening while homeless for 15 months (after getting his Doctorate!) on the cold streets of Manchester. Robb, who started drinking at 9 says “I’m not here to save your feelings, I’m here to save your life”. Enjoy. robbkelly.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 707#707 Values, Vulnerability and Vegan Sandals - Jess & Stef Dadon

Australian sisters Jess and Stef Dadon are fashion personalities, creative directors and environmentally-conscious entrepreneurs who created TWOOBS; a line of comfortable, fashion-forward, animal-friendly sandals that regularly sell out, are made using recycled materials saved from landfill and are delivered to customers satchel-free. The sisters have also created a recycling program where they take back old shoes, breathe new life into them and they are reincarnated as playground mats. To say these two are high-energy and chatty is like saying I swear a bit. About two-thirds of the way into our discussion, the sisters got a bit vulnerable, the energy changed, things slowed down a bit and we had an impromptu mentoring session with Uncle Harps. Was fun.

S1 Ep 706#706 Getting Strategic - Mark Dobson

Mark Dobson has been helping individuals, teams, companies and elite athletes explore, develop and maximise their potential for decades. Like someone else we know, he’s pretty direct, pretty laid back and has an ability to break down performance, success and human optimisation in a user-friendly manner. This ep. was a little bit like chatting with.. myself. *Note: I apologise in advanced because Mark had a few internet issues, so there are a few minor audio glitches (not too many).

S1 Ep 705#705 The Smiling Assassin - Dr. Jodi Richardson

So, it turns out that the very gentle, calm and compassionate Dr. Jodi Richardson is a complete menace when she steps on a basketball court. Dare I say, intimidating and according to one victim (who wouldn’t come back on court), scary. Never know, do ya? It’s the quiet ones. Fortunately, when she’s not shirt-fronting unsuspecting C-grade basketballers, she’s happy to inform, inspire and educate us around all-things psychology, human behaviour, performance and mental health. All silly-ness aside, this was a fun chat with one of our favourite guests. Enjoy.  drjodirichardson.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 704#704 Science, Healing and WooWoo - Unna Goldsworthy

Unna Goldsworthy is an Exercise Physiologist, Educator and friend, who has some weird special powers and an intuitive sense that I’ve only encountered a few times in my life. I love her mix of science, compassion, woo-woo and humour and the way she treats the whole person, not just the body. This was an interesting chat about neuroplasticity, brain training, the physiology of stress, solving problems, understanding the language of our body, healing the body vs. masking symptoms, why you should talk to yourself out loud, spontaneous healing and lots more.  @unna.movementSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 702#702 Lessons From Elite Sport - Steph Prem

As the winter Olympics draw nigh (Feb. 4 to Feb. 20), I thought it would be fun to chat with winter Olympian, friend and channel seven commentator, Steph Prem, about the lessons, skills, habits, discipline and thinking that can be transferred from succeeding in elite sport to succeeding in life. By the way, in her last event Steph broke her back (and a few other things) and endured five years of rehab, so she understands the reality of pain, inconvenience, shattered dreams, disappointment and starting from scratch.

S1 Ep 701#701 Understanding How Others Think - Harps & Tiff

This episode was pretty much me riffing about one of my favourite topics for an hour, with Tiff jumping in when I came up for air. Understanding how other people think is a highly-important but under-valued and under-considered ability and skill. It’s something I’m fascinated with (obsessed maybe) and something I’ve worked hard to understand and explore personally, professionally and academically. It’s important because, having an insight into how others think, means we have an insight into their version of reality. Their thoughts, ideas, stories, beliefs, biases, values and fears. Which means we know what they might do next. Or how they might feel about or react to, a certain stimulus (event, situation, statement, outcome). Which makes things like effective communication, connection, teamwork, leadership, problem solving and conflict resolution more likely. In the 80’s Stephen Covey famously wrote: “seek first to understand and then to be understood”. He was onto something. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 700#700 Lifting Heavy Things - Russ Jarrett

Lifting heavy things has been my therapy, my meditation and my happy place since I was fourteen. And while many think it’s all about biceps, delts and selfies, for me (and many others), lifting stuff is as much for my mind and emotions, as is it my body. Exercise Physiologist Russ Jarrett (M.Ex.Sci) is back and this time we talk about strength training for the masses. Any person with any body type, of any age, with any goals, any level of experience and in any physical condition. We talk about the multitude of ideologies, protocols, methods, resources, equipment and do our best to simplify what can be, a confusing conversation.

S1 Ep 699#699 God's Work - Rob Caslick

My mum (Mary) would say that Rob Caslick is doing God’s work. In 2010 Rob founded an organic soup kitchen in Sydney's Kings Cross and in 2016 he founded social enterprise Two Good Co, initially as a way to scale the soup kitchen. Two Good Co is a business which provides food, support and training to survivors of domestic violence. What started as “wheeling our barbecue about 300 metres” to grill up a shared feast for the area’s homeless and drug addicted, is now a national provider of food and lifestyle products to women’s shelters across the country. Rob is a good bloke, with a big heart, a big vision and I loved our chat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 698#698 Is the Fitness Industry F*cked? - Mel Tempest

As someone who has spent his adult life owning, working in and training in gyms, I am passionate about the welfare of, not only gym members and clients, but also the industry itself. In the last couple of years, the fitness industry (like many others) has been smashed. Mel Tempest is the CEO and the founder at Ignite Fitness Business Events, the host and founder of The Gym Owners Fitness Business Podcast and The Women’s Leaders Fitness Business Podcast. Mel organises fitness business events and roundtable events globally, runs a women’s educational platform, is a Keynote speaker, full-time fitness business ambassador and owns one of the most successful gyms in Victoria; Genesis Health and Fitness (Ballarat).

S1 Ep 697#697 The Healing Mind - Dr. Denise Furness

The good Doc is back and this time we discuss the way that our mind (thoughts, self-talk, beliefs, faith, stories) interacts with our body and impacts our physical health. Put simply, what are the physiological consequences (good or bad) of our psychology. If negative thoughts can put a body into a negative state (stress hormones, immune suppression, elevated heart rate, BP, sympathetic nervous system), does that same mind have the potential to put the same body into a state of recovery, repair and healing?

S1 Ep 696#696 Ocean Therapy - Easkey Britton

Easkey Britton, Ph.D. is a five-time national surfing champion from County Donegal in Ireland with a Doctorate in Environment and Society. She is the first Irish woman to be nominated for the Billabong XXL big wave awards, she is also a researcher, author, artist and social activist, who has an amazing (and difficult to explain here) relationship with the ocean. Easkey began surfing at four, has missed very few days since and describes the ocean as her sanity, her therapy and her home. I always say this but yet again, I loved this chat, especially when Easkey answered one of my questions in Gaelic. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 695#695 Body Transformation Programs - Steven Eskaf & Nicoletta Ceppellini

Steven Eskaf and Nicoletta Ceppellini are Fitness Educators, Trainers and Coaches (Steven is also an Osteopath) who are the head Coaches for one of Australia’s oldest and longest-running body transformation programs; the Max’s and Maxine’s Challenge. And before you panic, this is not a thinly disguised promo for Max’s and Maxine’s but rather, a broad and general conversation exploring the pros and cons, do’s and don’ts and the myriad of variables that impact and influence the outcomes of these types of programs. As with any other resource, transformation programs are certainly no magic pill but for some people, they can prove to be a valuable addition to their health and fitness journey. My personal opinion is that they can be a positive when they are (1) a catalyst for long-term positive behavioural change and/or (2) when they integrated periodically into an overall (big picture) health protocol. Used the wrong way (as quick-fix or rapid weight-loss plan), I’m not a fan. Enjoy.  maxchallenge.com.aumaxineschallenge.com.auCode: YOUPROJECT40See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 694#694 Hardest Worker In The Room - Mark Beretta

Mark Beretta OAM is an Australian journalist, best known as a sports reporter on Seven Network program Sunrise. This was a fun episode with one of the most easy-going, authentic and likeable blokes on the telly. Among other things, we spoke about his upcoming gig at the winter Olympics (his 13th Olympics), his ten Australian water-skiing championships, his parenting challenges, embracing the hurt, tearing his quad off the bone while showing off (ouch), the toughest athletes (mentally), his inner bogan (V8 Supercars), being the hardest worker in the room and lots more.

S1 Ep 693#693 The Bloke Who Crawled 96km - Kurt Fearnley

After almost 700 episodes, this conversation goes straight to my top 10 and Kurt Fearnley is instantly one of my all-time favourite guests. Real, compassionate, inspirational, funny and mind-blowingly determined. Kurt is a three time Paralympic gold medalist and two time Commonwealth Games gold medalist. He has won over 40 marathons, including New York, Chicago and London in a career spanning more than 20 years. In 2009 Kurt crawled the Kokoda track (96kms) to raise awareness for men’s health, he was a member of the winning Sydney to Hobart yacht crew in 2012. He is New South Wales Australian of the Year for 2019, an accomplished corporate speaker, published Author (Pushing the Limits: Life, Marathons and Kokoda), host of Tiny Island podcast and host of 2020 ABCTV’s One Plus One.

S1 Ep 692#692 Out Of Your Mind - Erynn Christensen

Erynn Christensen is a researcher, psychology graduate and fellow PhD. student at BrainPark, where I’m based (Monash University). Her current research is focussed on exploring whether or not our decision-making style (are we impulsive, risk-taking, tolerant of uncertainty, do our emotions drive our behaviour and are we are reward driven?) can predict our overall behaviour. Also, can our decision-making style predict how likely we are to develop habits and how good we might be at kicking those habits. This was Erynn’s first ever podcast and quite possibly, the best debutant we’ve ever had on TYP.

Ep 690#690 A Life Of Design - Debbie Millman

Debbie Millman is a delight; super smart, awesome energy, engaging, creatively brilliant and despite her enormous success, totally grounded and authentic. I loved this chat. Graphic Design USA named her one of the most influential designers of our times. She is the president emeritus of AIGA, the professional association of designers in the US, and one of the five women to hold this position in the organisation’s 100-year history. Debbie co-founded the world’s first graduate program in branding at the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2010, she is the editorial and creative director of Print Magazine, the oldest magazine on design in the States, she has written seven books, is a world-renowned educator and hosts one of the longest-running podcasts on the planet; the super successful ‘Design Matters’. Growing up, Debbie’s family life was difficult and traumatising, with frequent episodes of violence and sexual abuse. “I had a lot of brutality in my life, for the first 18 years I lived in a state of constant terror and compensated with art”, she says. This lady is an inspiration who has succeeded, despite her circumstances and experiences. I loved her and you might too. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 688#688 A Life Of Service - Theresa Mitchell

Theresa Mitchell is the founder of Agape Outreach, a not-for-profit organisation which works tirelessly serving the homeless. It literally started with Theresa walking past people living on the street (daily), seeing a massive need and choosing to do something about it. She decided to cook meals in her home and put herself in front of the people who most needed that kind of love and support. Thirteen years down the track she hasn’t stopped and now this amazing woman is the head of an organisation with more than two hundred volunteers, supporting thousands of people living around the NSW-QLD border. Oh and I almost forgot, along the way Theresa has also fostered thirty-seven children in her own home (caring for up to five at time). I love what she’s doing so much that, half way through our chat, I committed to running an online fundraiser workshop, with all the proceeds going to the outreach program. Details up soon. Some people make me want to be a better person. Theresa is one of them. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If I’ve ever done a podcast that didn’t feel like it, this is the episode. Dr. Denise and I went full ‘selfish’ mode, forgot about the listeners (sorry) and just had a casual catch up about lots of stuff that was (is) interesting and relevant to us two. We had intended to talk about the impact that relationships (of all kinds) can have on our health (for better or worse), but we never got there. Oops. Next time.

PART TWO: Last time we had Matty Lansdown (Scientist, Researcher, Nutritionist) on, we had great feedback, so at great expense to the organisation, we’ve dragged him away from his hammock and spoodle to pick his considerable brain about some of the most common food myths, fallacies and misconceptions. Apparently, buttered white bread rolls filled with cheese Twisties are a nutritional no-no, despite the fact that they sustained me through year eight. Somehow, my ‘research’ doesn’t count.

Dramatic title I know but it’s literally how we’ve survived as a species (one of the most physically vulnerable but intelligent) for millennia. However, the death of which I speak here is more metaphoric in nature, than it is literal. Mick Hall, the bloke who started using drugs and alcohol at twelve, was in and out of prison until thirty, lived on the streets, almost died using heroin, survived countless life-threating situations (and people) and has now been clean and sober for twenty-one years (in a few weeks) is back on TYP sharing stories, insights and lessons, around all-things addiction, recovery, survival, mindset and even, spirituality.

I have an early morning ritual (at the café) of asking myself a few questions, generally focusing on efficiency, productivity, problem-solving and gratitude. I use this ritual to put myself in the best headspace, emotional state and creative space to successfully navigate the day ahead. They’re not the same questions every day and there’s no strict protocol but for me, it’s a valuable part of my daily operating system. In this episode, I share some of the questions I most frequently ask myself and explain why I think such a practice can be a good start to the day.

E

Like many episodes of TYP, this is more of a ‘general conversation’ around the title question, than it is a ‘definite answer’ to it. Of course. Among other things, we discuss (1) What people are referring to (specifically) when they use the term ‘Universe’ (2) if the Universe is another term for God (3) Where the idea of the Universe providing comes from (4) the potential risk of relying on direction, signs and provision from the Universe (5) Why the concept is so popular (6) whether the Universe is a conscious form of intelligence concerning itself with the individual needs of eight billion people… and lots more.

S1 Ep 679#679 Last Breath - Chris Lemons

E

Chris Lemons has been a commercial diver for over 14 years, specialising in deep sea saturation diving. This form of diving involves living in the claustrophobic confines of a decompression chamber for up to 28 days at a time, commuting daily to the sea bed in a diving bell and working at depths of up to 900 feet for 6 hours at a time. In 2012, a freak accident resulted in the umbilical which provides him with breathing gas, light and heat being severed completely. He was left on the sea bed, in complete darkness 300 feet below the surface, with only the 5 minutes of breathing gas he carried in his emergency tanks and no way to protect himself from the freezing temperatures. It took his heroic rescuers over 40 minutes to retrieve him and his miraculous survival story has baffled experts ever since. His extraordinary story became the Netflix documentary 'Last Breath'. Amazingly, Chris went back to work three weeks later and continues to dive to this day!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 665#665 Practical Spirituality - Tommy & Harps

E

What is spirituality anyway? It seems like a pretty slippery concept. Ask ten ‘spiritual’ people to explain their version of it to you and you might come away more confused than you went in (I literally did and I was). Whatever it is, I’m more interested in what it looks like practically (behaviour, communication, connection, service, kindness) than I am in some warm-fuzzy theory. If it only equates to words and ideas, I’m out. But if there’s a loved-based practical component, I’m all about it. This is a chat about that.

S1 Ep 664#664 Is Success a Fairytale? - Tommy & Harps

E

Where does our idea of success come from? What are we taught about it growing up? Is it a concept or a ‘thing’? And what happens when we ‘get’ it? Nirvana? Happiness? Contentment? Does external success (things, money, brand, accolades) equal internal success (joy, calm, absence of anxiety)? Is it the same for all of us? Is our version of success driven by our ego or our spirit? Or something else? This is something I’ve thought about a lot over my journey and here I am talking about it with Tommy.

S1 Ep 663#663 Participation Trophies - Tommy & Harps

E

Why do so many people need recognition, validation or a standing ovation for getting out of bed? A trophy for just showing up? Why are we compelled to tell people they’re amazing for doing completely ‘un-amazing’ things? Is it a good or bad idea? What are the pros and cons of ever-present cheer squad and importantly, what happens when the cheer squad goes home? This is instalment four of our ten-part Christmas-NY series with Tommy.

S1 Ep 659#659 Love, Kindness & Gratitude - Harps & Tiff

E

As most of you know, at the start of every episode I chat with Tiff or Melissa briefly before we get into the intended topic of conversation for the show. Well, for this episode we failed to have that conversation about that intended topic because the intro chat opened a wonderland of doors which took us down a conversational rabbit hole of personal stories, insights, lightbulbs and lessons.
