There's 'self-help' the product (book, program, course) and then there's 'self-help' the process; literally helping yourself by making brave choices, doing hard things, asking great questions, owning up to your BS, being resilient, getting back up when most would give up, being consistent with your effort and completely committing to the practical process of changing yourself and your life for the better, no matter how uncomfortable, uncertain, unfamiliar or inconvenient that journey may be.

#1501 Why Self-Help Doesn't Work - Harps

Brad and Carly Cunningham are friends and regulars on TYP. They own an amazing business called 'The Fit Shop' and 6 days ago (as I type), their beautiful facility burned to ground, leaving them, their staff and their members 'homeless'. As I always say, bad things happen to good people and life gives no f**ks about you, your feelings or (in Brad and Carly's case) your business, financial security or the three young kids you have to feed. I think it's important to have conversations with people when things aren't going great. When stress, anxiety, uncertainty and fear abound. Why? Because it's real. It's where we spend much of our lives; in the mayhem, madness, unfairness and complexity. Despite their sh*t week, they have an incredible outlook and I think you'll enjoy this chat.

#1500 Their Gym Burned Down - Brad & Carly Cunningham

Patrick's back talking about 'sharenting' (the practice of parents posting pics of their kids online), the drone version of home deliveries (it's happening), the comeback of vinyl records, the death of certain professions courtesy of Al, a paintball-blasting home security system (I want one), how insurance companies are using drones to find reasons to void your home insurance, our lunch 'date’ and lots more.

#1499 Sharenting - Patrick Bonello

Hardiness (n): the ability to endure difficult conditions. Our favourite Irishman is back quoting the stoics (okay, mainly Epictetus), talking about raising hardy kids, Pollyanna Optimism, the impact of our thoughts on our body, embracing what most avoid, choosing the narrow path and in general, telling us why we need to harden-the-f**k-up. As he does. Enjoy.

#1498 Hardiness - Paul Taylor

At the youthful age of sixty, Tony Mantz (Jack the Bear) is figuring out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. The guy who once tipped the scales at 170kgs and consumed eight litres of coke daily (216 teaspoons of sugar), while having an actual coke (cocaine) habit is back and we had a great chat about reinvention, possibilities, ageism, retirement, getting better with age, the psychology of age, starting over, building a new career (at sixty) and lots more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
