You get the job. Make the money. Lose the weight. Do the thing. Own the thing. Achieve the thing. Change the thing. Climb the mountain. And then what? Well, you achieved the goal - so now you're happy. Content. Satisfied. Nope, seems not. Not often, anyway. Maybe it's not about "there" (the destination) but rather, "getting there." Maybe it's about the feelings, growth, connections, relationship, purpose, learning, growth and experiences we have along the way? Maybe the summit is what we want but the climb is what we need? Bobby and I enjoyed this one.

Doctor Cam's back and this was more of an interesting chat between two blokes (I hope) than a back-and-forth 'interview', exploring a particular topic. We covered a lot of territory including the science, skills and f**k-ups of parenting (between us we have two kids, so definitely ignore me), how success doesn't always equal happiness (in fact, quite often), the elusive state of contentment, the ridiculousness of analysing the mind with the mind (the tool measuring itself), the determinants of personality (genetics, environment, influences, programming, culture, etc.), our need for purpose and lots more. Enjoy.

You know those people that you could listen to forever? Well for me, Dr. Matt Morgan is such a person. Like one of those "who would you invite to dinner if you could choose anyone" types. So interesting, so many good stories and such a good human. Also, a brilliant communicator (not always the case with brainiacs). This chat went far and wide from NDE's (near-death experiences) to participating in his own living funeral (sounds morbid but was fascinating), to what happens in the brain the moment people die (and just after), to delivering the news to people that their loved one has just died and an incredibly weird (and unknown by me) fact about kangaroos. So random. BIO: Matt Morgan is a Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine, Honorary Professor at Cardiff University and Curtin University, and a regular columnist for the BMJ. Following a PhD in artificial intelligence, he has authored more than 50 scientific papers and written widely for publications including The Guardian and Esquire. Matt is a sought-after speaker and media commentator, appearing on outlets from BBC and CNN to The Today Programme. His books include Critical, about life inside the ICU, One Medicine, exploring how animal biology informs human health, and A Second Act, about surviving cardiac arrest. He lives in Cardiff with his family and loves ice cream. Enjoy.

Smart glasses that can video people without their consent or knowledge - super creepy and pervy and it's already happening. Let's put a stop to that sh*t! Patrick and Fritz the Wonder Dog (see image) are back and of course, this chat is a combination of interesting things, educational things and 'inappropriate for a podcast' things. We talk tech, the backlash around Al films, an EV with a one-thousand-kilometre range, general BS and lots more. Enjoy.

This was a unique TYP experience which you may or may not vibe with. It was one of the hardest things I've done publicly and that was to be 'coached' live on the show by Bobby. To make it legitimate (and not some kind of role-play BS), I chose to totally step out of my hosting role and be as transparent, vulnerable and as authentic as I could be. Which was honestly f**king terrifying, knowing that thousands of people would hear my personal sh*t. I usually have an idea of how things will be received by my TYP friends but this time, l'm not sure. My ego, fear and insecurity did not want this to go to air but nonetheless, here it is.

Every time I record a podcast, and Melissa edits it (gaps, coughs, long pauses, etc.) I ask her, "what score do you give it?" because I want a simple, quick numerical evaluation of the chat. We have a mutual understanding of what the numbers mean (developed over eight years). She's never scored anything a '10' but she did score this episode a '9'. That's all I'm telling you. Enjoy. BIO: Leon Logothetis is a British-born adventurer, author, speaker, and philanthropist best known for his work promoting kindness and human connection around the world. A former London stockbroker, he left the finance industry after feeling unfulfilled and set out to travel the globe relying on the generosity of strangers. His journeys inspired several books and the Netflix documentary series The Kindness Diaries, in which he retraces his travels and surprises those who helped him with life-changing gifts. Having visited more than 100 countries, Logothetis now shares stories and insights that encourage empathy, courage, and the transformative power of simple acts of kindness.

Well, this episode was a ripper (he says humbly), Dr Jess was (is) a ripper and I think this might be a fave for some of you. We didn't go overboard on the "OCD, hoarding and anxiety" chat but we did open the conversational door on plenty of topics that are relevant for all of us. Enjoy. *BIO: Dr Jessica Grisham is a ground-breaking researcher and world-renowned expert on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), hoarding, and anxiety. She is a Professor in the School of Psychology at UNSW Sydney, Australia, and has extensive clinical experience assessing and treating sufferers of OCD and hoarders.

Every morning, I ask myself a version of this question - "in terms of what I need to get done today, what is the optimal use of my time, energy and attention?" For this chat, Bobby, Tiff and I focus on the "energy" part of the question. It's true that many of us waste significant energy on things which provide us with a poor return on that energetic investment. That is, we focus on (obsess about?) things we can't really change or control, while investing little or no energy in the things we can. For me, learning to optimise my physical, mental and emotional energy has been a decades-long process. Enjoy.

Could the trauma you're experiencing now be the result of something that your grandmother went through decades ago - before you were even born? Could it be caused by something you didn't experience or have no knowledge of? According to today's guest, Mark Wolynn, the answer is yes. Mark is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma. He's the director of The Family Constellation Institute in the US and is renowned for his work that bridges epigenetics, neuroscience, and somatic healing, and shows how the traumas of our parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents, can live in our bodies as unexplained depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and chronic health conditions. His book ‘It Didn't Start with You’ is an international bestseller and this was a fascinating chat. Enjoy.

Dr. Jeff is back bringing the heat, enlightening the masses, dropping the health bombs and sharing the love - as he does. This was another Q and A sesh, after our last one was very well received. This time we chatted about everything from plantar fasciitis, shockwave therapy, crappy spines, dodgy knees and frozen shoulders, through to reoccurring muscle tears, long covid, ageing intelligently, recovery and, off the back of Donna from Launceston's suggestion, "the fat-loss shit show." Enjoy.
