Episodes

#2245 Self-Flying Planes - Patrick Bonello
Self driving cars, self driving trucks, driverless taxis and maybe in the not-too-distant future, self-flying passenger planes. F**k that. That’s a big fat “no thanks” from me. I’ll take the human pilot option, thanks. This was yet another fun conversational escapade with Patrick and Tiff, full…

Dr. Fuschia Sirois is a psychologist and internationally recognised researcher specialising in procrastination, self-regulation, motivation, stress and wellbeing. She is a Professor of Social and Health Psychology at Durham University in the UK. Her research explores why people procrastinate,...
-
#2243 The Friendship Litmus Test - Dr. Lillian Nejad
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…

#2242 Adapt or Die - Harps & Tiff
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...
-
#2241 New Addictions? - David Gillespie
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...
-
#2240 Knowing Is Not Doing - Ben Siong
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...
-
#2239 The Resurrection of 982 - Professor Munjed Al Muderis
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...
-
#2238 What Happens In The Brain As We Die? - Prof. Tarvez Tucker
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…

#2237 What Shouldn't We Expect - Bobby Cappuccio
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...
-
#2236 Nonsense in Psychiatry - Prof. Gordon Parker
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...
-
#2235 Science and Religion Had a Chat - Dr. Bill Sullivan
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…

#2234 Dr. Sam Casey
Dr. Sam Casey is back at TYP Central chatting with me about how kids and their grown-ups work. Always an interesting chat. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
-
#2233 An Analogue Conversation - Patrick Bonello
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...
-
#2232 What Are Things Worth? - Bobby Cappuccio
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...
-
#2231 The Science of Guilt - Dr. Jennifer Reid
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...
-

more -
#2229 Fall Down, Get Up, Repeat - Bobby Cappuccio
This episode with Tiff and Bobby was another unfiltered, unplanned, hold onto your seat, dive into the human experience. If you’re not partial to the freestyle ramble don’t listen to this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
-
#2228 Achievement vs Meaning - Dr. Olivia Ong
Dr. Olivia Ong is a Melbourne-based rehabilitation and pain medicine physician, author and speaker whose personal story has profoundly shaped her career. In 2008, while working as a young doctor, Olivia was struck by a car in a hospital car park, sustaining a spinal cord injury that left her...

Tim Baker is...
-
#2225 Perv Glasses and Glassholes - Patrick Bonello
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...
-
#2224 Should You Become a Coach - Bobby Cappuccio
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?...
-
#2223 The Art and Science of Certainty - Professor Adam Kucharski
I loved this chat with Professor Adam Kucharski, although recording it in the evening probably wasn’t the optimal time for my brain (LOL). *BIO: Professor Adam Kucharski is a mathematician, epidemiologist and award-winning science writer at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. His...
-
#2222 Is Your Mind the Problem or the Solution? - Dr. Cam McDonald
Dr. Cam is back at TYP and this time we chat about the powerful relationship between our mind and our outcomes. We speak about the role of mindset and performance in relation to sport and more broadly, life. We explore the habit we humans have of creating and obsessing about problems that don’t...
-
#2221 Peptides: Bullsh*t or Medicine? - Dr. Jeff Gross
So many claims, so many counter-claims, so many sales pitches, so much information and misinformation, so much emotion and pseudoscience, but what is real and what is not? While this episode is not the “gospel of peptides” according to Saint Jeff, it is an interesting and educated conversation…
more -
#2220 Who Is Responsible For Our Health? - Kate Save
Exercise Physiologist, Dietician, Entrepreneur and Educator Kate Save and I had a fun time agreeing and disagreeing on the current state of affairs in Australia, when it comes to all things health, wellness, marketing, education and longevity. We even came up with a couple of ideas that could...

#2218 Metabolic Psychiatry - Dr. Matthew Bernstein
Tune the-f*ck in, this is a goodie. I love chatting with people who question the status quo in their field, who challenge convention, who think outside the box and who do so with intelligence, integrity, compassion (for patients) and courage (it’s not a great way to gain popularity). Dr Matt...
-
#2217 Kicking Down The Vulnerability Door - Christian O'Connell
This was one of my favourite chats this year. Two blokes throwing the vulnerability door wide open and it’s fair to say we went deep. I’m won’t say too much because I don’t want to ruin the listening experience but it’s fair to say that some of you will love it. You know when you don’t know what…
more -
#2216 Identity - Bobby Cappuccio
Who are we? Why are we the way we are? How do we see us? How do others see us? Where does our sense of self come from? What is our identity? And did we create it or did it create us? Do we conform to it, or does it emerge as a byproduct of what we do, why we do it, and how we do it? Bobby, Tiff…

#2215 Can AI F*ck Up Our Brain? - Patrick Bonello
Understandably, there’s a growing concern that AI could be the beginning of the end for our cognitive function, creativity, and IQ. My opinion is that we shouldn’t worry but we should be cautious and aware. There’s a big distinction between using AI to outsource our thinking and using it as a...
-
#2214 The Evolving Addiction Landscape - Mick Hall
It seems that people are becoming addicted to more and more things. But are they actual addictions in the context of some of the more recognisable and familiar addictions (drugs, booze, gambling, porn)? Or, are they ‘mere’ obsessions, compulsions or disorders that also lead to poor, and sometimes...
-
#2213 The Disease of Kings - David Gillespie
Gillespo is back on deck following a brief TYP sabbatical and this time he is exposing the truth about one of the biggest medical issues in Australia; kidney disease. I won’t spoil the story but I will tell you that fructose is not your friend. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...
-
#2212 What Are My Results Saying? - Bobby Cappuccio
This episode is all about body awareness, mind awareness (metacognition), creating a personal operating system, the space between discipline and obsession, self-regulation and self-actualisation (becoming who and how we want to be), owning up to our BS without the self-condemnation and lots more....
-
#2211 Asked and Answered - Harps (PT2)
We’ve done a few Q&A sessions before, but this might just be my favourite. We explored vast territory with a lot of great and diverse questions from you, our listeners. A quick snapshot of what we covered.. If my self-perception changed doing a PhD. Music and emotions. My advice on supporting our...

-
#2209 The Parable Of The Chinese Farmer - Dr. Bill Sullivan
This time around, Dr Bill and I discuss ancient wisdom that is as relevant and powerful today as it was millennia ago. We talk about some of the core ideas, messages, stories and lessons taught by the Stoics before the apostles were playing beach volleyball and how they (the Stoics) were the...
-
#2208 Wanting What We Don't Need - Harps
Well, it’s been a while but I’m back in the TYP Studio to get the wheels turning again. A little two week unplanned sabbatical for very grown-up reasons, but I’m excited about what’s coming up over the next thousand episodes (LOL). In this episode, I explore the idea of chasing things that we…
more -
#2207 Just F**king Start - Harps & Tiff
So many people spend so much time talking about starting, while never really truly starting. And when I say starting, I mean properly starting. As in, diving into the project or process fully committed to do the work (and not to stop), no matter what. So many ideas, plans, intentions and...
-
#2206 Audio Books You Can Chat With - Patrick Bonello
Our favourite geek is back at TYP, and along with Tiff we dive into AI, digital interactivity, audiobooks (including fiction) that you can ask questions as you read, cyber security and surveillance, automotive technology and safety, consumer electronics and why many electric cars could be the end...
-
#2205 The Awareness Pyramid - Bobby Cappuccio
Not unlike most episodes with Bobby and Tiff, this one meandered away from the core topic and back, but much of the conversation was exploring what I call ‘The Awareness Pyramid’ - a kind of summary of what I’ve been working on for the last six and a half years in my PhD. Enjoy. See...
-

#2203 Back To School (At 50) - Dr Bill Sullivan
This was an interesting and somewhat different conversation with Dr Bill Sullivan - one where we explored the idea of going back to school (in some form) in our ‘more experienced’ years. Chatting with someone who is a world recognised researcher, scientist, author and educator (and still crushing...
-
#2202 A Cure For MND? - David Gillespie
It’s never a boring chat with David Gillespie and this time we talk about the research, the challenges and a potential cure for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), also known in the US as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). As always, David talks to us about a potential chemical culprit, a molecule…
more -
#2201 Is AI Bias? - Patrick Bonello
This time Patrick and I talk about AI biasing certain moral perspectives and certain cultures. We discussed the pros and cons of e-bikes, why you might need to get a new cable to charge your phone, BYD trying to pull a shifty on its customers, a 20-year study focusing on decreasing the risk of...
-
#2200 Australia's No. 1 Biohacker - Lucas Aoun
Lucas Aoun is a naturopath, researcher, educator and one of Australia’s most respected and popular biohackers. This was one of my favourite conversations this year. Personally, I learned a lot. There’s too much in it for me to do justice to the conversation by providing an incomplete snapshot…
more -
#2199 The Future of Medicine - Dr. Cam McDonald
Dr. Cam slid by TYP Central to share the love, the knowledge and the fun (as he does), and along with Tiff, this time we discussed how general medicine, health care, disease treatment, pharmaceuticals, integrative medicine, and treating the human body as one system - not fifty - might evolve over...
-
#2198 Is AI Making Us Dumber? - Harps Solo
Is artificial intelligence making us less intelligent, or could it help us become better thinkers? Are we outsourcing our brain to a machine? What happens when we start sharing our cognitive workload with AI? Is there a healthy way to use and interact with it? Is it possible that it’s a tool that...
-
#2197 Mentors - Bobby Cappuccio
What’s the deal with mentors? What’s their role? Who needs one? How do we find someone who’s a good fit? Can you be one? Perhaps ‘being’ a mentor has as many benefits, as ‘having’ a mentor? Apart from mentors, Bobby, Tiff and I also explored learning styles, optimising your energy, how to retain...
-
#2196 Showing Up (When You Don't Want To) - Harps & Tiff
Well, this conversation got real deep, real fast. It might not be for everyone, but I know it will resonate with some. The brief synopsis is that Tiff and I spoke about the very human challenge of navigating complex, painful, emotional and unfamiliar situations, especially when it comes to...
