This episode is a deep dive into the single most powerful, confusing and occasionally uncooperative thing you own - your brain. In this episode we strip away the jargon and talk in normal-people language about how your 1.3kg prediction machine actually works - why it reacts before you think, why you repeat patterns, what stress does to your operating system, and how much you can genuinely rewire. It's not a neuroscience lecture; it's a user manual for running your brain - and your life - better. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#2046 Exercise in a Pill - Dr. Bill Sullivan
What if some of the physical benefits of exercise could be delivered in a capsule? It sounds like sci-fi, but two new scientific studies suggest we might be inching closer to that reality. In this fascinating episode, Tiff and I sit down with geneticist, author and science communicator Professor Bill Sullivan Jr. to unpack the growing field of exercise mimetics - therapies designed to replicate certain physiological effects of working out, without the sweat session. As you'd imagine, I have a few philosophical objections and questions but nonetheless, it's interesting research with vast potential, this was a fun chat with one of my favourites and no, the pill is not intended to become a 'replacement' (per se) but rather a potential option for some individuals with certain limitations and challenges.

#2045 One Size Doesn't Fit All - Harps & Tiff
This time Tiff and I explore the differing concepts of "the best" (diet, workout, job, lifestyle, strategy, protocol) and "our best," highlighting that what's optimal for one person will be sub-optimal, or even dangerous, for another. Is there really a "best" diet? Or fitness program? Is there a (single) best way to grow a business? Build a brand? What about relationships? Is there only one way to build a great marriage? Or friendship? As we continue on our personal growth journey, maybe our biggest challenges isn't to discover "the" best but rather, "our" best.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#2044 Rock, Paper, Scissors - Patrick Bonello
Patrick's back at TYP Central opening the 'Tech' door - and few doors that should stay shut to be honest - but nonetheless, information was shared, stories were told, laughter was had, education was scarce, inspiration missed out altogether and Tiff did her best to wrangle the two overaged teenagers into some kind of cohesive, intelligible and meaningful dialogue. I'll let you decide if she had mission success or not. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#2043 Please Don't Say "Moist" - Bobby Cappuccio
If you're ever chatting with Tiff or Bobby, whatever you do, don't use the ‘M' word. It sets them off. I'm not even joking. I used it to describe a cookie that wasn't dry or brittle but apparently, it's an unacceptable adjective. To describe anything. Ever. Other than not-dry cookies, we chatted about the old-school self-help pioneers that greatly influenced Bobby and I when we were young up-and-coming Speakers and Coaches, we delved into the emerging reality of people forming 'relationships' with Al, my (and Tiff's) propensity to be 'polite' when chatting with ChatGPT (please love me), the many benefits of working in hospitality at some stage of our employment journey and apart from all the silly-ness, Bobby opened the vulnerability door and shared some amazing stories and insights from his childhood.
