The You Project

Tony Doherty is a Business Man, Entrepreneur, Fitness Industry Pioneer, Gym Owner, Business Partner of Arnold Schwarzenegger and among other things, the Godfather of Australian Bodybuilding. He’s also interesting, creative, funny and a curious mix of brutality and compassion. Tony and I go way back, we’re good mates and this was a fun chat. If you’re easily offended, it may not be for you.@tonydohertyozSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not only is Dr. Jodi Richardson an expert in the field of understanding, explaining and treating anxiety, she’s also been dealing with it personally her entire life. So when she writes (two books on the topic), talks and teaches, she’s speaking from, not only an academic, research and clinical perspective, but also from a place of lived experience. This is a great chat and I learned a lot.drjodirichardson.com.au@drjodirichardsonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your mind is ‘You HQ’; it’s your cognitive, social, personal, professional, academic, creative and practical headquarters. It’s the place where stories are told, decisions are made, habits are formed, data is processed, lessons are learned, meaning is given, beliefs evolve, fears are embedded, understanding grows, confusion prospers, problems are solved (and created), calm and chaos are neighbours, life is shaped and personality reality is created. This Episode is a conversation I had recently with Tiffanee Cook on her podcast, Roll with the Punches. It is essentially a conversation and about the why, how and ‘what-the-f**k’ of thinking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carly Taylor is an Educator, Nutritionist and Coach who uses a combination of Acceptance-Commitment Therapy, Stoic Philosophy, Japanese Psychology and Neuroscience to help people do stuff, change stuff, learn stuff and unlearn stuff (it has a lot to do with stuff) and to improve the quality of their lives (mindset, energy, choices, performance, outcomes) along the way. Oh, she’s also married to that shy little wallflower, Paul Taylor.carlytaylorcoaching.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New TYP favourite, Dr Ingrid Nielsen (Psychiatrist) is back and this time we dive into exercise, nutrition, lifestyle and all things health for our ‘more experienced’ folk. Among other things, Ingrid tells us how she increased her bone density by 36% (unheard of), is able to build muscle (function, performance, strength, power) in her seventies, completed a competitive 10k run five months after a knee replacement (at 72!) and has the V02 Max of a typical 37 year-old. She also shares her considered medical and personal thoughts around self-management (mental, emotional, physical, behavioural) as we age. As my mum would say, this episode ‘is a goodie’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My body and I go way back. We’ve spent years together. Sometimes connecting, sometimes not. We’ve often been at odds about the best course of action with things like food, sleep, exercise, stress and lifestyle because not surprisingly, my body has always been concerned with health, healing, recovery, energy and performance, whereas for much of my life I operated in the tastebud nirvana, instant gratification, comfort and convenience space. It took a while (only a few decades) but I finally came around and began to pay attention.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I’ll be honest, the ‘business’ wasn’t really so secretive but it was definitely an interesting conversation focused on understanding and navigating the female experience (pre-pubescent through to post-menopausal) from a metabolic, hormonal, nutritional, recovery, energy management, exercise, sporting, performance and general health perspective. If you’re a dude, this is probably not (so much) for you, but feel free to listen and learn something. I did. Unna Goldsworthy is an Exercise Physiologist, University Lecturer and Clinician who works primarily with women.@goldygutsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My biggest challenge has always been managing me. Specifically, managing my mind, body, emotions, energy, choices, actions, reactions, resources, finances, relationships and time. If I can’t manage me (effectively), I can’t manage my life. Over the years, I’ve developed a self-management system based on a series of questions, relating to the micro, meso and macro of my life. This episode is about that. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Covid 19 is wreaking havoc on a range of fronts; physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and of course, financially. On this episode of TYP, money man Jason Cunningham is back talking with Craig about managing our budget, career, business and sanity in the middle of these economically uncertain times.

Some of us have spent our lives ‘almost’ doing things. And sometimes we’ve actually done it. And then we’ve undone it. Starting. Stopping. Losing. Regaining. Focused. In the zone. Out of control. Inspired. Can’t be bothered. Productive. Destructive. And not because we’re bad, weak or flawed but rather, because we’re human. This episode of TYP is a coaching session (of sorts) focusing on the cognitive, emotional, practical and behavioural components of creating lasting positive change. It turned out being longer-than-expected, so we have a part 1 and part 2 to the conversation. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
