Luke Milton is a ripper. He's the ex NRL player who went to the US, established a totally Aussie brand (Training Mate) in the middle of LA, started working with celebrities, got a gig on 'Revenge Body' with Khloe Kardashian, set up three training centres (with more on the way) and is building a fitness empire while having fun, keeping it real and creating a space where people are encouraged to learn, laugh and sweat at the same time. matetogo.trainingmate.com

Dr. Cam McDonald is back and this episode is seriously fascinating. And valuable. There is so much great information in this chat, you'll want to listen twice. Along the way, we talk about how, just being around certain people can be good or bad for your health. Why your job might not be a good 'fit' for your biology. Why certain colours, clothes, music and environments can boost or suppress your immune system and impact your nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine systems, for better or worse. And lots more. ph360.me

68.92 metres (226 feet). That's how far Kathryn Mitchell threw her javelin to win the 2018 Commonwealth Games Gold medal. Or as I like to call it, far as f*ck. It's also the furthest any female in the world has thrown a javelin in the last seven years. Apart from being an amazing athlete and competing at two Olympics and four Commonwealth Games, Kathryn is also a super-interesting, raw, real and relatable person who, like the rest of us, is trying to navigate and negotiate the peaks and troughs, joy and tears, pleasure and pain of the human experience. This chat was not what I expected. It was better.

These days, Lisa Stephenson is a successful Author, Entrepreneur, International Speaker, Corporate Consultant and Media Commentator but ten years ago, it was a very different story. At that time, Lisa believed she was in the middle of a happy and healthy marriage. That belief was shattered one day when her husband left the house and unexpectedly, didn't return. In the space of an hour, her life was turned upside down and a new life as a single mother had begun (and continues to this day). This podcast is a conversation about those ten years.

In this episode, I step out of my Corona hammock and put on my coaching hat for a brief personal development session to share ten fundamental ideas and principles. These are concepts which have proven to be relevant, reliable and effective for many of the people I've worked with on their individual journeys of education, transformation and liberation.

For this episode of the TYP, the very tall and charming Bianca Chatfield (6'2"), Melissa Cameron (6'0") and Pete Shepherd (6'7") sit down (remotely) with the 'neither tall nor charming' Craig, to talk about how they're all improvising, adapting and overcoming. Among other things, they discuss how their day-to-day thinking, rituals and habits are changing, what they're learning about themselves, decluttering, becoming a minimalist and what they might do differently on the other side of Corona. biancachatfield.com humanperiscope.com

Ian O'Dwyer is a body-whisperer. Well, that's what I call him. More typically, he might be called a functional movement specialist but I've known him for decades and, over and over again, I have seen him do incredible 'hands-on' things with (seemingly) broken bodies (including mine) and sometimes, it's in as little as two or three minutes. I suspect he has some kind of weird healing superpower but at this point, I only have anecdotal evidence. In fact, I'm not a hundred percent sure he's mortal. Anyway, he has a really interesting backstory and journey and this was a fun conversation with a great Mate. feelsoma.com

This is the first time I've actually cried in a podcast. In part, this is a conversation about despair, abuse, identity, body-image and mental illness but thankfully, it's also a message of recovery, strength, survival, hope, healing and love. There's too much in this episode for me to do it justice with a few clumsy words. facebook.com/thegappgroup.com.au @lsbs_livestrongbestrong

The ex-drug-taking, rush-chasing, fast-talking, money-spending, self-destructing Geoff Jowett is back and thankfully, these days the manic entrepreneur has disappeared and the philosopher, teacher, deep thinker and compassionate human has emerged to share his thoughts, ideas and messages in his (truly) unique style. Among other things, we discuss comparison culture, how animals saved Geoff's life, acceptance, being a suicidal addict and coming out the other side, where joy lives, starting over and hitting the reset button on life. www.geoffjowett.com

In this episode, Craig and TYP favourite Bobby Cappuccio talk about the psychology, philosophy, sociology, physiology and practicality of self-managing in the middle of our ever-evolving reality. This chat was recorded on Zoom with a few 'viewers' so, there's a small amount of interaction with the group. Enjoy. www.robertcappuccio.com

This episode from the bunker is a conversation I had with Josh and Tommy from TSTD and among other things, we discuss my current technological learning curve, connecting with people who aren't in the same room, situational awareness, life without a gym, life without hugs, faith vs. knowledge and the art of adaptation.

Over the last fortnight, I've been exploring three key questions with people: (1) How do I avoid going crazy? (2) How do I avoid going broke? (3) How do I avoid going backwards with my training? This podcast is about question 3. Not surprisingly (to me), some people are actually getting great results away from their 'normal', simply because they're now stimulating their body in a new way. In this episode, I share some variations (from slight to significant) on some old concepts. Despite the title, not all of my suggestions are specific to exercise. If you're after some new ideas, a little science and a laugh or two, this is a good chat.

Former Richmond, Fremantle and Melbourne FC CEO and TYP favourite, Cameron Schwab returns to chat with us about his recent cancer diagnosis and subsequent journey. On February 14, Cam was diagnosed with prostate cancer and on February 23, he spoke at our TYP conference knowing that the next day he would find out whether or not the cancer had spread through his body. I won't tell you the rest of the story (you'll have to listen) but I will tell you that I love the way Cam thinks, teaches and shares so authentically. This was a very thoughtful conversation. PS. Apologies for the poor audio quality on my microphone. Getting a new one tomorrow. Won't happen again. designceo.com.au

Like many others, Leanne Hamilton is a small business owner who is trying to navigate her new unexpected normal. With a very 'hands-on' service (a functional movement studio called Swift Fitness), 17 staff, 300 clients and significant weekly expenses, Leanne (like many others) has been in the middle of a very steep learning (and adapting) curve over the last few weeks. With massive pressure and uncertainty and almost no sleep, Leanne has been working tirelessly to adapt her business model, delivery of service and the way she connects with and supports her clients. In this episode, Craig and Leanne have a very raw, real and practical conversation about 'finding a way' professionally, personally, financially, emotionally and mentally. swiftfitness.com.au swiftfitness.thinkific.com online@swiftfitness.com.au
