S1 Ep 158#158 The Hustle and Grind Myth

E

I knew Geoff Jowett when he was a high-profile, high-flying, multi-millionaire doing all the hustling, media, drugs, booze, sex, spending and distractions. He was smart, charismatic and kind of successful. Kind of because, at the same time, he was also broken, disconnected, addicted, miserable and lost. In the middle of his apparent success, he was mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually bankrupt. That was then but these days, Geoff is a different person. The penthouse has made way for the one bedroom flat. The Maserati for the old Hyundai Getz. The drugs and grog for horses, meditation and nature. The obsessive bodybuilding for golf. The getting for giving. The chaos for calm. And the misery for joy. As a friend, I’m super proud of how far he’s come. His realness, rawness, honesty, awareness and humour, make this one of my favourite TYP chats ever. Don’t miss it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

E

Apart from being an elite athlete in two sports (swimming and cycling), two-time Paralympian, former world record holder, academic smarty pants, motivational speaker, inclusion advocate, mindfulness coach and all-round funny bugger, Hannah is also currently training to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games. We had a fun chat. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 156#156 Nick Dal Santo

E

Nick Dal Santo is one of those blokes who was a very good AFL player (322 games, All-Australian, runner up in the Brownlow), is a polished media presenter (Foxtel and SEN) a loving husband and dad (of course) but as you’ll discover in this episode of TYP, he’s just a really good human. Like, awesome. Super generous with his time, energy, knowledge and experience. We had a great chat about everything from high-performance, elite sport, leadership, work ethic and maximising talent, to what makes a champion, self-awareness, character, raising kids and growing up in the country (something we both did).

S1 Ep 155#155 My Favourite Whiteboard Lessons

E

In January 2016, I decided to write one of my daily Facebook messages on my office whiteboard and post a photo of it, instead of my daily ritual of typing a few words on a keyboard. While I can’t say it revolutionised the world, I can say that (for some reason) the same words hand-written on my whiteboard created far greater connection, impact and interaction than a regular typed post. Like, times ten. People seemed to resonate with the synergy of old (handwriting) and new (social media). Four years down the track, I’ve written more than three thousand messages on my whiteboard, with some of them being turned into posters, mugs, T shirts, calendars and even, a song (not all with my approval or knowledge). Oh, and of course there’s my Instagram page (@whiteboardlessons), which has slowly climbed from zero to just over twenty thousand followers in the last few years. In this episode, I talk about some of my favourite messages (and yours) and the meaning, idea and intention behind them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 154#154 Why Are We So Dissatisfied?

E

Cecily Schwab is a Clinical Psychologist, Coach, Business Consultant and wife of one of our TYP Faves, Cameron Schwab. In this episode, Craig and Cecily go deep on why many of us seem to be perpetually dissatisfied, where it comes from, how it works and what we might do about it. And lots more head stuff. Of course.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 153#153 How Dare You Not Be Like Me

E

As Podcasts go, this is super brief. Nonetheless, in under ten minutes, I manage to riff on confirmation bias, life in the echo chamber, loving people who aren’t like us, letting go of the need to be right, being okay with uncertainty and unfamiliarity and the idea of living harmoniously in a world full of different ideas, cultures, beliefs, lifestyles and people. This was recorded on my phone, so the audio is a 6-ish, sorry. Hopefully, the content is a 9.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 152#152 The Episode About Everything

E

I recently joined my adoptive sons on @thedailytalkshow for a nearly-two-hour chat and it’s fair to say we covered plenty of ground including: addiction, expectations, the nature of truth, knowledge vs. faith, convenient science, genetics, uncertainty, the first two months of my PhD, how success and failure co-exist, old vs. new media, the birth of low-fat eating, the food pyramid, unlearning, how frustration works, is perpetual happiness a possibility and towards the end of the show, I do some in-the-moment coaching with Tommy, Josh and Mister 97. This is a new favourite of mine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jan 2, 20201h 43m

S1 Ep 151#151 5 Questions for Humans

E

This podcast is Craig reading, reflecting and riffing on the following five questions (from his book). 1. What’s my life telling me? 2. What are my core values and how do I live in alignment? 3. Why do I self-sabotage? 4. How does the other person see this? 5. How can I change the way I think?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 150#150 Jules Lund

E

Jules Lund is a gun. In business and in life. You know when you’re keen to meet someone and when you finally connect, they’re even better in person? Well, Jules is exactly that. For real. Such a genuinely good bloke with a great heart, great mind and great energy. Gave me a hug at the front door, spoke from the heart, shared his journey (peaks and troughs), got vulnerable and travelled to my studio on a 44 degree day without a complaint, expecting nothing in return. I love him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 149#149 Q&A: Food, Fitness and Function

E

This is a ‘Q and A’ session where Craig answers your ‘Getting in Shape’ (type) questions. He explores mindset, weights, cardio, finding the right program, training (in general), nutrition, supplements, time-efficient exercise, progression vs. maintenance, the value of a PT, calories (do they still matter?), over-training, biofeedback, excuses vs. reasons and lots more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 148#148 Bobby Cappuccio: The Coach's Coach

E

Bobby Cappuccio grew up in the middle of poverty, abuse, rejection, bullying and dysfunction on a range of levels. He was also given up for adoption, has Tourette’s syndrome and was physically deformed (requiring four reconstructive facial surgeries). Despite his numerous setbacks and personal challenges, Bobby has become (in my opinion) one of the best Coaches, Speakers and Educators in the world. And I have seen many. He’s also one of my Mates. Enjoy. *Note: there are a few moments where the audio quality dips a little, as Bobby is chatting with me from Singapore. Apologies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 147#147 High Performance in Sport and Life

E

I was recently interviewed by Isobel Ross from the ‘Peak Endurance’ Podcast. Isobel is one of Australia’s best Ultra Endurance Runners and while our conversation revolved mostly around running and competitive sport, we covered plenty of things in the mindset, performance, preparation and self-management space, which also relates to life in general. In other words, there’s plenty in this chat for everyone. Athlete or not. Also, two amazing things I want to share with you (1) two days before we did this podcast, Isobel ran and won a 179km race (you read that correctly) and (2) she turns fifty soon! Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 146#146 Getting the People Stuff Right (in Business)

E

This is a teensy-weensy poddy (10:50) that I recorded for the good folk from the Business Essentials Program. It came up pretty well, so I thought I’d share it. Because they’re more professional, more grown up and way fancier than me, you’ll hear no fucks and not one dick joke. I’m sorry. For those of you who have been listening to me for a while, the content is nothing new so consider it a refresher.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 145#145 Strippers, Pole Dancers and Crooks

E

Kennetta Hutchens left school at year ten, was a stripper at twenty-one, was on Melbourne’s biggest billboard (wearing not much) at the same time, was managing seventy strippers at twenty-three, worked in the exotic dance industry for over a decade, partied harder than most for twenty years (sometimes staying awake for five days!) and at thirty-four, set up Victoria’s first Pole Dancing Studio, Pole Divas, which has grown into a thriving organisation, with fifteen hundred students and studios in seven locations. Fortunately, she’s now settled the-fuck down and is a responsible mum and business owner with a super fascinating story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 144#144 Two Metre Peter Returns

E

Before the Big Fella and I started recording this episode, I gave him a piece of paper with a bunch of ideas and topics that I thought we might talk about. We didn’t. More than an hour later, neither of us had drawn breath or even thought about the piece of paper. Subsequently, this episode is not so much a typical podcast, as it is a really interesting organic conversation that happened to be recorded. It’s one of my faves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 143#143 Boobs, Bras and Business

E

For much of her life, Maxine Windram dealt with the mental, emotional, physical and social pain of big boobs (her term, don’t yell at me), embarrassing shopping experiences, incompetent sales people, ill-fitting bras and a complete lack of knowledge, service or care for people in her situation. In 2006, off the back of her experiences, some tireless research and countless conversations with other women (and also with zero business or sales experience), Maxine and her mum Lin, launched Brava; a brand catering for women in the D to K cup range. Thirteen years down the track, Brava is an award-winning company with a thriving online business, six retail stores (in Sydney and Melbourne) and an amazing culture that both customers and staff love to be in. I think most people will enjoy this chat but especially those thinking about building a business or brand (of any kind) one day, but have no idea where to start.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 142#142 Paul Chek: Mindful, Mystical and Magical

E

This Episode is anything but typical. There hasn’t been a TYP like it and there might not be another for a while. Paul and I explore all things physical, spiritual, metaphysical, philosophical and mystical and if you’re into such things, you’ll dig it. If not, your head might explode. Personally, I loved it. And love Paul.*PAUL’S BIO: Paul Chek is a world-renowned expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology, stress management and holistic wellness.

S1 Ep 139#139 Turning Your Idea, Skill or Passion into a Business

E

About twenty years ago, two young blokes flew from Sydney to see Australia’s biggest PT facility in action (mine) and to talk to me about creating their own business. What was meant to be a couple of hours, turned into two days! Not long after that meeting, Andrew Simmons and Geoff Jowett (who’s since moved on) created Vision Personal Training and their original idea (to set up one training facility) has morphed into a fitness industry powerhouse, with 59 centres across Australia and New Zealand. In this candid conversation, Andrew and I talk about turning an idea (fitness or other) into a living, breathing business. We also talk about understanding the market, having a point of difference, understanding the needs of clients (no matter what the industry, service or product), evolving and adapting to the ever-shifting business landscape and the personal dangers of ‘becoming’ the business.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 138#138 16 Hours on a Bus for a Coaching Session

E

Michael Markezic is a TYP listener and wanna-be Coach, who endured sixteen hours on a bus (to and from Canberra), just to spend an hour asking me some questions. That’s commitment. I loved this conversation, his questions and his genuine curiosity to learn, develop and understand the human condition. Among other things, we discuss ready-ness to change, excuses vs. reasons, thoughts on motivational speakers, choosing a path, optimising potential, why people give up, standing out in a sea of competitors, the need to innovate and create (vs. imitate and follow), my book writing process and why stories matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 137#137 The Future of the Fitness Industry

E

Like me, Ken Baldwin is a Fitness Industry dinosaur but unlike me, he’s still knee deep educating, training and inspiring Fitness Professionals to be their best for themselves, and of course, their clients. Ken is the Director of Education for Perform Better Australia, the Founder of The Healthy Ageing Institute and is on the advisory board for the Functional Ageing Institute. With over 30 years of experience in all areas of Fitness & Health, Ken now focuses on developing research based programming around the Active Ageing. In this episode of TYP, Ken and I talk about the state and direction of the fitness industry (past, present and future), how to age intelligently, specialising versus being a generalist (as a fitness or health professional), why most PTs have short careers (18 months on average), the importance of building rapport with clients and the importance of walking your talk and being a role model.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 136#136 Sharelle McMahon

E

Sharelle McMahon is maybe the best athlete I’ve worked with, and that’s saying something. Fierce, gifted, passionate, courageous, well prepared, wildly competitive and an amazing work ethic. Apart from Captaining the Australian Netball Team, Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Vixens, Sharelle also won two world championship, two Commonwealth Games Gold medals and represented Australia 118 times over thirteen years. In this episode, we discuss eating disorders and body dysmorphia in sport, dealing with stress and anxiety at the elite level, superstitions and rituals, building confidence and self-belief, feeling like a fraud (yep, her too) and she even throws an ex-boyfriend under the bus. This is a fun and revealing chat. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 132#132 12 F***ing Rules for Success

E

A few years ago, I wrote a silly little list in about ten minutes. That list became the most read, commented on, shared, translated and plagiarised thing I’ve ever written. People have even turned it into products without permission. Calendar anyone? In this episode of TYP, Melissa and I talk about the idea behind, the value of, and the implementation of each rule.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 131#131 Changing Careers

E

John Young spent most of the last twenty years doing a job he didn’t really enjoy. At all. A little over a year ago, he decided to step out of the security, familiarity and predictability of his well-paid career and into the uncertainty of ‘re-training’ in fitness, putting on the ‘L plates’, starting at the bottom, making way less money and re-inventing himself professionally (as a PT) in his mid-forties. John is listener number four to visit the podcast and in this episode, he and Craig discuss the myriad of challenges and issues that come with changing careers later in life. *Also, Craig shares a story which is possibly the funniest in TYP history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 130#130 The Guy Who Died for 17 Minutes

E

Thirteen days before I recorded this chat with the Crab (my training partner, Mark), he died. Well, for seventeen minutes anyway. It happened while we were training and it’s fair to say that those seventeen minutes, and all the minutes since, have been interesting. Getting him into the studio was almost as miraculous as his return from the other side. Public speaking is not his favourite thing but nonetheless, he said yes. This episode is not really ‘personal development’ (although there are lessons and take-aways) but plenty of you asked for it and it’s a really interesting conversation. *Note: I apologise for the audio peaks and troughs. The Crab is not as loud as his training partner and despite my coaching, not particularly interested in talking into the mic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 128#128 Ageing Disgracefully

E

Jan and Ian Frazer are funny, inspiring, wise, fit AF and have been married for 52 years. At 79, Jan exercises daily, doing a mix of cardio, strength, stretching and boxing. She also works as a voice-over artist (one of Australia’s best) and part-time PT. At 81, Ian mountain-bikes (in the bush, not suburbia), lifts weights (still does 15 full over-hand chin-ups), snow skis and does stand-up paddle-boarding several times a week. They cover plenty in this chat but nothing more amusing than Craig’s most embarrassing day at Harper’s (his gym)’. Jan was there and it involved a stripper.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 127#127 Neurosurgery for Dummies

Dr. Alex Koefman is one of Australia’s youngest Neurosurgeons. He and Craig met at one of Craig’s events, got to chatting and decided to continue that chat on TYP. The boys discuss everything from turning a dream into a career, working under extreme pressure, ageing well and neuroplasticity to the value of mentors, starting at the bottom, slowing down, kids playing contact sports and whether or not the spiritual world is ‘real’. This is a super interesting conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

E

A few weeks ago I wondered (out loud) if any listeners (of The You Project) would like to sit in the number 1 chair and ask me a few questions. I certainly didn’t anticipate the response of a hundred plus emails in a few hours! Anyway, instalment 2 is with TYP listener Kelly Smith and she interviews me like a pro!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 124#124 Offensive As F**k

E

I have about seventy thousand followers across my various platforms. Not many compared to some but enough for feathers to be ruffled and noses put of out of joint regularly. Not a shock considering that each of those seventy thousand individuals has an ego, attitude, beliefs, expectations, biases, likes, dislikes and ideas about what’s right and wrong, interesting and boring, funny and rude, offensive and harmless. And as we all know, the same message can be the catalyst for a huge cross-section of reactions, ranging from head-nodding, agreement and laughter to outrage, offence and anger. Which begs the question… what causes offence? FYI, this is an impromptu recording in my office (not studio), so I apologise for the less-than-studio quality production value.

E

A few weeks ago I wondered (out loud) if any of my listeners would like to sit in the number 1 chair and ask me a few questions. I certainly didn’t anticipate the response of a hundred plus emails in a few hours. I apologise for not getting back to everyone but just because you haven’t been contacted, doesn’t mean you won’t be. I’m thinking about making these a semi-regular thing. Keep in mind that most of these listeners have never been in a studio or spoken into a microphone, so all things considered, they did great.

Paul Taylor has a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology, a Master’s in Nutrition, a Post-Grad in Neuroscience and he’s currently completing a PhD in Psychology. Apart from that, he’s a complete dummy. He’s also been one of our most popular guests ever, so at great expense to the management, he’s back.

S1 Ep 116#116 From Bodybuilding and Bouncing to Ballet and Braids

E

Michael Ray became a dad for the first time at forty-nine. At fifty-one, the bloke who had worked most of his adult life as a Stripper, Bouncer and Trainer became a full-time single parent, raising his two year-old daughter Charlie on his own. To say he was under-prepared, ill-equipped and overwhelmed, would be something of an understatement. Charlie is now almost eight and it’s fair to say that the last six years have been a steep learning curve and a transformative experience for the big softie who has shifted his attention from bodybuilding, barbells and biceps to ballet, braids and buns.

They are both Authors, Teachers, Presenters and Coaches who work mostly in the corporate space and in this chat with Craig, they explore everything from burnout, chronic fatigue, mental health and vision boards to exercising in the rain, choosing our purpose, wrangling teenagers and consciousness.

S1 Ep 111#111 From Addiction, Prison and Homelessness to Owning a Hospital

E

For more than a decade, Mick Hall slept in four key places: men’s shelters, the streets of Melbourne, rehabilitation facilities and various prisons. These days, the convicted felon is a successful business man, media presenter, father of three and owner of a private hospital, treating people with addiction issues. Perhaps most significantly, he is now approaching twenty years clean and sober. In this episode of TYP, Craig talks with Mick about his journey out of the mayhem and into sobriety, sanity and success.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 110#110 A Self-Audit (Part 2)

E

SELF-AUDITING is a worthwhile, if not always comfortable, component of the personal transformation journey. It is largely about self-awareness and the recognising of habits, patterns, behaviours and choices which can fit anywhere on the scale from toxic and destructive, to positive and life-enhancing. This process is not about self-loathing or over-thinking but rather, self-awareness, self-management and self-determination. It is a strategic, rational and productive exercise, not an emotional or destructive one. In this two-part episode of TYP, Craig walks (talks?) you through some Self-Auditing (type) questions.10. Do I invest more of my time and energy in problems or solutions?11. What am I currently avoiding, delaying and/or lying about?12. What fear is currently holding me back?13. What is my most limiting belief?14. Am I living my values?15. What is my body telling me?16. What are my overall results telling me?17. What do I waste energy on?18. What is the ‘me experience’ like for others?19. Are my beliefs, mine?20. What do I need to put on hold? Or maybe let go of?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
