 #68 Craig's 15 Self-Management Rules | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:37:32

In this episode of TYP, Craig talks about the way he manages himself (physically, mentally, emotionally, practically). He doesn't always succeed (of course), so maybe 'intentions' would be a better word than 'rules'.

 #67 Dr. Feelgood | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:55:11

This episode, Craig sits down with media presenter, author, speaker, sex-pert and highly regarded health commentator, Doctor Sally Cockburn (yes, her real name, pronounced 'Co-burn' and yes, she sees the irony), also know in the media as Dr. Feelgood. They cover a broad range of topics and it's fair to say, the Doc's not shy.

 #66 Emotional Kryptonite | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:28:53

In this episode, Craig explores the way we sabotage ourselves emotionally and along the way, derail our own potential, purpose and happiness. He also discusses some ideas and strategies to take back our power, to stop waiting and wasting, and to step into our potential.

 #65 The Shrink is in the House | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:09:57

Craig sits down with leading Sport Psychologist, Jacqui Louder to discuss everything from anxiety, loneliness, self-awareness, identity and seeking parental approval, to Jacqui's job working with elite athletes, social media traps, self-management and the idea of success. Jacqui also opens up about some of her personal challenges. This conversation is very relevant and relatable for most of us.

 #64 Understand You First | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:21:37

This is an unplanned and impromptu mini Podcast that Craig recorded in a moment of inspiration after writing about the impossibility of 'being objective'. It is a brief exploration into the way we process and understand (1) ourselves (2) others and (3) the world around us. If you love 'mind stuff', you'll enjoy this.

 #63 Renovate Your Body | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:51

In this episode Craig shares his thoughts on BMI, using scales, rapid weight loss, body composition, fitness cults, testing, finding the best program, different types of fitness, developing a personal blueprint for our body and the importance of tracking the physical transformation process.

 #62 Anti-Aging, Biomedicine, Epigenetics (and other sciencey shit) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:54:07

This episode, Craig chats with Professor Sharon Ricardo (head of Biomedicine at Monash University) about living longer, stronger, happier and healthier. He also discovers that he needs to eat blueberries. And avoid marathon running. And get longer telomeres.

 #61 My Real Job | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:16

In this episode Craig talks about his peaks and troughs, lessons and light bulbs, highlights and lowlights as a professional speaker. He also shares key insights, strategies and advice for anyone who might be considering standing in front of an audience (paid or not) in the future.

 #60 Passion, Purpose and Path | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:33:48

Navigating life can be a tricky (and sometimes, overwhelming) task. And in the middle of that responsibility, there's the equally important challenge of managing 'us'. Specifically, our mind, emotions, self-talk, choices, behaviours and overall 'operating system'. In this episode, Craig sits down with cancer survivor, leadership coach, endurance cyclist, author and former police inspector, Paul O'Brien. The boys explore everything from passion, purpose and path (as per the title), to insecurity, self-doubt and depression (which Paul has battled for years). It's a great conversation.

 #59 with Bianca Chatfield | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:06:37

Champion Netballer, TV Host, 'Block' competitor, Leadership Coach, Corporate Speaker and You Project regular, Bianca is back chatting with Craig about everything from school kids medicating their anxiety, awkwardness around self-promotion and teaching kids how to self-manage (mentally and emotionally) as a school subject, to vulnerability, trust and Bianca's issue with dating men shorter than six-two.

 #58 Melissa Makes Craig Cry | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:59:20

In this episode Craig gets raw, real and vulnerable sharing insights, stories, lessons, triumphs and fuck-ups from his own journey. Lots of light bulb moments in this one.

 #57 The Money Episode | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:15:03

Network Ten's Jason Cunningham (and TYP's unpaid money expert) is back to help us navigate the murky waters of generating, spending, saving, investing and maximising our hard-earned. This is a user-friendly conversation for people (like Craig) who are not 'experts' in this space.

 #56 Becoming a Life-Long Learner | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:26

Craig is a life-long learner. The eternal student. Not the best student, but a committed and enthusiastic one, nonetheless. In this conversation with Dr. Richard Huysmans, the boys discuss Craig's impending PhD. journey and explore the numerous cognitive, emotional and practical benefits of stepping into a structured learning situation, be that a short course to become a barista, a certificate 3 in fitness, a basic book keeping qualification or a million other possibilities, through to something closer to the tertiary (University) end of the scale. Apart from the emotional benefits (self-esteem, confidence, joy, satisfaction), that come with learning, gaining a qualification and successfully navigating any kind of academic journey of any length, at any age, there's also irrefutable evidence telling us that the longer we continue to consciously learn new things, the 'stronger, fitter and healthier' our brain will be into older age.

 #55 Discomfort Vs. Threshold | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:22:31

What's the differences between being kind-of uncomfortable (but still capable of much more) and working to our absolute threshold? What's actually possible when we push through the self-limiting thinking, the fear, the perceived barriers and our addiction to comfort? In this episode, Craig talks about the difference between 'perception and reality' when it comes to exploring our performance limits. *This brief episode (just over 20 minutes) has been taken from Craig's Renovate Your Life audio program (available via his site).

 #54 Nicole Livingstone: 3 x Olympian, AFLW CEO | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:03:07

Apart from representing Australia at 3 Olympic games, being awarded an Order of Australia Medal, working in the media for decades, being on the board of Swimming Australia, raising three kids and running the AFLW, Nicole's life is pretty dull. In this episode, Craig and Nicole explore everything from raising twin sixteen year-olds, being insecure, managing self-doubt, navigating social media and helicopter parenting, to being told you're too fat (as a young athlete), being told you're not 'fresh enough' (for an on-camera media role in your early 40's), to running one of Australia's fastest growing, high profile organisations.
