The You Project

In this confronting and timely conversation, I sit down with Gillespo to unpack a landmark legal case that could change everything. For the first time, a jury has held tech giants like Meta Platforms Inc. and YouTube accountable - not for what's on their platforms, but for how they're designed. We explore the idea of "weaponised attention," the psychology behind infinite scroll, beauty filters, and algorithmic validation, and why developing brains don't stand a chance against billion-dollar systems engineered to hijack them. This isn't just about kids. It's about all of us. Are we using technology... or is it using us?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a percentage of you, this might turn out to be your favourite TYP episode. It won't be for everyone, but for some it will be like finding an oasis in the dessert. 'The Weird Little Girl Who Talked to Ghosts' is the name of Chezzi Denyer's new book, it's fantastic, people are raving about it and it's selling like bog rolls in a pandemic. I won't say too much but there's definitely something special about Chezzi's energy, insight and story and I f***ing loved our conversation - which is why it went for almost ninety minutes (and could have gone way longer). *Note: Unfortunately we didn't have a great internet connection, so l apologise for that but please tough it out. I doubt you'll regret it. Enjoy. chezzidenyer.com.auBooktopiaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A certain weight at the gym is heavy for you. And then over time, it’s not. Of course the weight is not heavier or lighter but you got stronger and as an experience, it is lighter. Easier. The weight, movement or task hasn’t changed, you have. Hard became easy because you’re different. This metaphor is true for so many aspects of the human experience. This chat with Bobby and Tiff is all about that (and other stuff). Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What have you changed your mind about? What did you unlearn? Can we actually be objective? Are you okay with being wrong? Why do so many of us live in echo chambers? Why are we so drawn to people who think like us? Is experience the best teacher? When is a bad outcome a good lesson? Some people will avoid this chat because it's long, but I think those of you who strap in might really enjoy it. This could be my favourite Tiff and Harps chat.

In boxing, Mick Hall has won a state title, two national titles and a world title. And while that's impressive, more impressive is that he's still fighting at almost 55. And maybe the most impressive thing is that he stepped into the ring for the first time at 49. I'm not suggesting any of you take up boxing, but i am highlighting the fact that we humans can still achieve, create, transform and learn at a high level, heading into and past our fifties. Along with Tiff, Mick and I cover lots of fascinating topics in this chat. FYl, most of the episode isn't about boxing but rather, potential and possibility.

This episode is part coaching, part motivational presentation, part education session, part me thinking-out-loud and part me swearing either appropriately or inappropriately, depending on where you sit on the f**k scale. My observation over decades of working at the coalface of 'change' tells me that most people don't really understand or optimise their potential. In fact, not even close. Imagine having ten million dollars in the bank while living in poverty. Well, that's metaphoric equivalent I've observed thousands of times; people wasting what they have at their disposal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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. drmattmorgan.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
