The You Project

Exercise physiologist, dietitian, entrepreneur, and all-round powerhouse human Kate Save joins me at TYP Central for a totally unexpected conversation (well, the conversation was planned - just not the topic) around the do's and don'ts, whys and why-nots, and hows and how-not-to's of making your body strong, healthy, and functional. This chat is very relevant for the majority of my (typical) listeners. Enjoy.

Dr. David O'Donnell is a ticker-ologist. He's specialises in tickers. The sciencey folk call him a cardiologist and electrophysiologist. Not surprisingly, we had a chat about what us potential patients can do to avoid becoming an actual patient, any time soon. And despite the fact that he's quite a skilled ticker-ologist, he'd rather not see you or me on his (or any) operating table. He's all about being proactive, not reactive and optimising our chances of a long health-span and lifespan by making smart decisions and doing smart things before the metaphoric wheels fall off the medical wagon. This was a revealing, educational and motivating chat (for me anyway) and I hope you enjoy it.

I love all my Gillespo chats but I especially loved this one. I (we) got to peek behind the cognitive curtain and get an insight into how he thinks (and why), how he does his research, why he doesn't want you to trust him, differentiating good science from bad, and how to know the difference between (1) evidence and data and (2) opinion and story dressed up as science. As many of you know, he and I have an ongoing fun p*ss-take (mainly him taking it out of me) but if I'm honest, he has a pretty supersonic analytical brain. Zero emotions... but great Prefrontal Cortex (lol). Enjoy.

Two blokes having a conversation on a podcast about how they individually give and get love. What makes them feel loved, appreciated and deeply connected. And more broadly, how the intended love that we’re sending someone’s way, doesn’t always have the desired effect because quite often, the receiver doesn’t experience love in the way that the giver does. For example, my attempt to be compassionate and loving towards someone who’s going through a challenge could be ‘received’ as unwanted prying - not loving at all. A fascinating topic, drawing inspiration from “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. Enjoy.

Kelsey Packwood is a Jamaican-American Writer, Director, Producer, & Actor based in Los Angeles, California. Kelsey is the writer and creator of BORDERLINE a half-hour traumedy scripted series based on her lived experience with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I totally enjoyed this insightful, educational and inspirational chat with Kelsey. It was nice a synthesis of stories, science and lived experience, with a young woman who is a great communicator. Enjoy.

Ever achieved a goal, created a great result, got where you wanted to go, and still felt like shite when you reached the target? Like you thought you’d feel a certain way - better - and somehow you end up feeling disappointed, frustrated or even sad!! It’s certainly a weird but not uncommon phenomenon. Tiff and I talk about that weirdness and lots more on today’s instalment of TYP. Enjoy.

This was the funniest episode Patrick, Tiff and I have recorded. In my subjective opinion anyway. I f**king loved this chat. It was an intersection of technology, fun facts, inappropriate remarks and a smidge of science. I honestly can’t remember having more fun on a podcast. *If you’re a “normal” grown-up, you might hate this. But I’m suspecting my misfit-slanted audience, will dig it. You misfits. Love, Harps.

This episode with Bobby and Tiff begins exactly as all serious intellectual discussions should: leprosy, skin-cancer cream, hazmat suits, future husbands, and a brief audit of cats, dogs, and personal hygiene standards. So yes - very professional. We jump into a fun conversation about belief, delusion, perception, and performance. Bobby tells the story of being fuelled for years by a study that never existed - Yale, Harvard, written goals, guaranteed success. Total bullshit. And yet… it worked. A functional delusion. Not insanity. Not narcissism. Just enough belief to keep moving when quitting feels logical. We talk Bobby’s Tourette’s, getting kicked out of the military, being broke, living on 99-cent Whoppers, and mistaking rejection for confirmation you’re on the right path (which is either madness or genius - often both). Enjoy.

According to our resident kill-joy, best-selling author and revealer of unpopular truths, bacon might not be the death sentence some "experts" proport it to be. In fact, it might even be good for us. Incredible, I know. But don't believe me, take a read of Gillespo's article - just do a Google search for Substack and the above title. In this episode, we talk about the bacon revelation and lots more, so dive and enjoy.
