The You Project

This episode has been stolen from Craig’s ‘Renovate Your Life’ audio program (one of thirty sections) and in it, he talks about the idea of visualising what our life might look, feel and function like a year from now if everything goes to plan (we achieve our goals) and how we might turn that theoretical construct (plan, intention, goal, idea) into a real-world experience and practical outcome.If you'd like further details on Craig's audio program visit https://www.craigharper.net/product/renovate_your_life/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The youngsters call this a ‘share cast’. On it, Craig is interviewed by Russell Jarrett from the Australian Fitness Podcast and discusses staying productive when we can’t be bothered, the need for focus, purpose and meaning, whether we might all be addicted to something, the downside of retirement, the value of doing the hard stuff and lots more.

This is a coaching session that most people will find relevant, if not, invaluable. Possibly, a little confronting. In this episode, Craig talks about everything from self-talk, self-awareness, self-sabotage, self-pity and self-management to metacognition (thinking about thinking), creating a new operating system, cognitive and behavioural programming and taking back your power. Depending on your learning style, you might want to listen to this one with a note pad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Getting Mary (who is somewhat private and averse to any kind of limelight) on to TYP is one of Craig’s greatest achievements. It’s fair to say ‘The Old Darl’ (as Craig calls her) wasn’t excited at the idea but warmed up as they discussed everything from never having a mum (Mary’s mum died giving birth), being raised by nuns from the age of four at a boarding school, winning ‘Miss Dairymaid’ and going on a date with Bert Newton through to Craig’s pirate phase, his dubious school years and his unusual punishment for being suspended. Twice. They also talk about love bites (on Craig, not Mary), love languages and Mary’s thoughts on ageing well. If you’re after a strategic, high-performance, change-your-life (type) of podcast, this might not be for you. But if you’re keen to hear a freestyle chat between Craig and his mum around a range of interesting topics, you might love it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doctor Kal Fried (pronounced Freed) is back on TYP sharing his medical wisdom, stories and insights around health, healing and hysteria. He and Craig go even deeper (than last time) on the ‘what is pain and how does it work’ conversation. For reasons explained during the show, this is a non-swearing episode. You’re fucking welcome.

In this episode, Craig shares stories from his journey as a fitness industry pioneer. For those of you who don’t know, he opened Australia’s first Personal Training Centre in 1990, wrote the first PT certification course, employed over five hundred trainers, owned four studios (including the largest in the Southern Hemisphere) and personally facilitated over forty thousand PT sessions. Considering he had almost no understanding of business development, branding, marketing, employing people, administration or leadership when he started, he did okay. Fair to say it was a steep learning curve. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick Farr is co-founder of Resilience Builders and is widely regarded as one of Australia’s most accomplished high altitude athletes and leadership development coaches. He has climbed many of the world’s highest mountains (including Mt Everest) and has led and coached more than one thousand people in challenging high altitude environments. On this episode of TYP, Nick and Craig talk all things mindset, adversity, self-management and of course, resilience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wow, that’s a lot of P’s in one title. Here’s another… Paul O’Brien (Leadership Coach, Ex Police Inspector, Author and Endurance Cyclist) is back on TYP and once again the lads get deep and philosophical, exploring the peaks and troughs, the simplicities and complexities, the light and shade of the human experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fitness industry pioneer, Tony Doherty has been innovating, creating, contradicting the norm and calling a spade a fucking shovel for three decades. He has a Ph.D in getting shit done and is simultaneously compassionate, terrifying and inspirational. Tony and Craig have been mates for years and as always, they had a great chat.

Craig sits down with Australia’s best bodybuilder, Josh Lenartowicz, and the boys talk about prepping for the Mr. Olympia, the mind in bodybuilding, dealing with grief (losing his friend Dallas McCarver), his popularity in China, shrinking plane seats, being hangry, his understanding wife (Liz), life post-bodybuilding (with smaller muscles) and impending fatherhood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
