To what extent should we let Al 'think' for us? What are the myriad of ways we'll use it, in an attempt to make our lives easier? To do less work? Invest less energy? Use less brain power? And what might the potential ‘handing over of power, responsibility and work' do to our minds? Specifically, our cognitive function? Our resilience? Our mental and emotional health? Our memory? Our problem-solving skills? Our creativity? Personally, I don't think it's panic time, but it's definitely caution time. Awareness time. Kelly and I did a deep dive on this and lots more. Enjoy.

This episode is a kind-of coaching sesh that some will dig, and others, not-so-much. This type of content and thinking-out-loud is the sh*t that lights my fire. I have a different take on high performance to most. Not better or worse, just different. For me and many people I've worked with, it is a more practical, relatable and useful approach. But then it's my model, so of course I'd say that (lol). Enjoy.

Patrick's back pumping up the tech-talk and while we enjoyed some of our regular conversational mayhem and silliness, I will say that this time around, we also tackled so of the less pleasant issues, topics and problems arising in the Al - and more broadly speaking, tech-space. While Al is an incredible resource with ever-expanding capabilities, it's not all good news when bad people with bad intentions use the technology. We dug into the risks, the ethical dilemmas, the unintended consequences, and the very human challenges of keeping up with machines that never sleep. A fun, fascinating, slightly unsettling chat about the double-edged sword that is Al.

Well, this was R-rated straight outta the gate, so if you're easily offended don't f**king listen to this. Dr. Jodi and Tiff did their best to keep the chat on track, but the only child kept yanking on the conversational wheel. Shocker. Fortunately, out of the mayhem came a conversation that I think most people will enjoy; one where we explored the potential negative impacts of health and fitness 'tech', when our emotions hijack our mind and body, moments that shift perspective, the value of gratitude in an entitled culture, and when the healthy thing becomes the unhealthy thing.

Enjoy.

Shirzad Chamine is a Stanford lecturer, NY Times bestselling author of 'Positive Intelligence, brilliant thinker, communicator, and teacher, and I loved getting to meet and chat with him. If you don't ever self-sabotage, self-loath, over-think or get in the way of your own ambitions, potential, or happiness, then don't listen to this. But... you know.

It's the week of the co-share, here at TYP. First it was the Andrew May experience, and now we open the Tiff Cook door, as Roll With The Punches and TYP collide in a symphony of information, education, philosophy, psychology, and story-telling, mixed with a liberal smattering of conversational bulls**t. Of course. Enjoy.

The other day I sat down (virtually) with the brilliant Andrew May on his ‘Performance Intelligence’ podcast and because it was interesting, insightful and fun, we decided to do a ‘co-share’ - on Channel Craig and Channel Andrew - so the world wouldn’t miss the gold. And the egos. Nah, I’m pretty sure it was a very listenable chat. Enjoy.

Another casual and illuminating ramble with the great man from the other side of the globe. This time Bobby and I explore self-awareness, uncertainty, 5-year plans, building confidence, competence, and skill. And we also discuss the logic behind the co-existence of kindness, empathy, and a little bit of - "don't f**k with me" (when required) - all in the same person. Enjoy.

If you suffer from migraines, or you know someone who does, please listen to this episode (or get them to). I don't want to spoil the show, so I'm going to opt for "less is more" but the I think the information, insight, and science that Gillespo downloads in this chat could - for some people - be life-changing. The only story l'll share here is that Gillespo's wife - who experienced multiple debilitating migraines every month over the course of her entire life - made one simple change (no drugs) in 2014, and since that time, has not had one single migraine (zero!) in eleven years. Obviously, people can respond differently to the same 'treatment' but there is also some amazing recent research (which we discuss) from The British Medical Journal which aligns with Gillespo's hypothesis. Enjoy.

This is a fascinating conversation with a bloke who has experienced some of the 'hardest' days at the office, conceivable. Grant Dooley was posted to Jakarta during the mid-2000s, one of Indonesia's most turbulent periods, where he survived the terrorist bombing of the Australian Embassy, was a first responder to the Garuda plane crash, and worked through the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami - along with major diplomatic incidents like the Bali bombings, the Schapelle Corby case and the arrests of the Bali Nine. Throughout it all, Grant and his wife Kristan (also a DFAT consular officer) had to keep it together - not only for themselves and their jobs, but for their young family. But the years in Jakarta took their toll on Grant and, diagnosed with PTSD after his service in Indonesia, he began to write journal entries, in an attempt to process his trauma. Those initial writings have now been turned into a book; Bomb Season in Jakarta. It’s Grant's up-close-and-personal account of his Indonesian posting, raising the lid on the personal side of diplomatic service. I think you'll enjoy this.
