In the house-built-on-sand world of 'self-help' and 'personal development,' there's a lot of pseudoscience, rhetoric and bullshit masquerading as truth, wisdom and inspiration. If you want to know what makes my bullshit list, take a listen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a range of fascinating reasons, we humans tend to hate the idea of 'being wrong' about beliefs, ideas and rituals (habits maybe?) that are important to us. Especially when those things are foundational and integral to who we think we are; our identity, our purpose, our sense of self and our self-worth. Ironically, we love to see ourselves as open-minded, considered and objective as long as you agree with our core beliefs and ideas (lol). So, what are the dangers of 'needing to be right?’ Take a listen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1542 Terrified Of Being Wrong - Harps

Tegan McKenzie is a Somatic Sex Therapist, working with women to help them navigate and explore their own sensuality, sexuality, emotional well-being and self-care. Well, l've had thousands of conversations (on this show and beyond) with people working in all kinds of fields and this chat, was a first for me. Having the opportunity to chat with Tegan and knowing that the majority of my audience is female, I thought it was a conversational door worth opening. Am I the most qualified person to have this chat? Probably not? Did I learn a lot? Yep. Was I amazing? Nope. Was it interesting? Definitely.

#1541 Somatic Sex Therapy - Tegan McKenzie

The Tai Chi-teaching, rural living, nature loving, tech geek, father of one (dog) is back, and this time we chat about the potential ban on kids under sixteen accessing social media, the pros and cons of our current digital world, the first bloke to have a Neuralink implant, how the new super-dooper Al programs aren't always super or dooper, headphones that allow you to clearly hear an individual voice (the person your chatting with) by blocking out all the other voices in a noisy room (I want those), a self-balancing motorcycle (ridiculous but Patrick loves the idea) and China's new robot dog that comes complete with a machine gun on its back. What could go wrong?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1540 Weaponised Robot Dogs - Patrick Bonello

Intelligence is not 'a' thing but rather, a bunch of things. In some rooms I'm mildly smart, in others l'm wildly stupid. It's context, task and situation dependent. Want my advice on technology, you're in trouble. Ask me about biology or psychology, you're in with a chance. In this freestyle episode, Tiff and I talk about individual learning and teaching styles, getting better with age, exposing yourself to new and different stimuli (challenges, experiences, situations, information) and the issue of retention (remembering the stuff we learn).
Enjoy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1539 The Intelligence Spectrum - Harps & Tiff

Amy Molloy and I agree, there's no five easy steps to virtually anything. Might be five hard steps. Or twenty-six. Or five easy and five hard. Might take you a month and me, a decade. The point is, different things work for different people. Whether it's grieving, getting in shape, making money, communication, growing a brand, reducing anxiety, a relationship model, lifestyle or even, hosting a podcast! My best job might be your worst nightmare. Your easy run might be my torture session. And your favourite meditation practice might give me anxiety! I loved this chat with the deep-thinking, incredibly articulate, super-smart (it's all true) story-teller that is, Amy Molloy. Amy is a journalist, editor and award-winning author who produces uplifting content for the biggest names in global publishing. Enjoy.
