#1598 Working for Them or You - Harps & Tiff

In this episode of TYP, Tiff and I chat about the pros and cons of working for someone else, versus working for yourself. Creating and growing your own thing, versus being part of their thing. We unpack some of the lessons, insights, problems, benefits and f**k-ups we've each experienced in both career 'models'. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1596 Tech Anxiety - Patrick Bonello

For many people who didn't grow up with tech, the unavoidable and ever-increasing integration of Al, online everything, cashless transactions and virtual worlds is a great source of confusion, discomfort and anxiety. My eighty-five-year-old parents feel like they're living on Mars and the world is becoming alien to them. The idea of not being able to pay bills with cash or a cheque has caused my mum more than a few sleepless nights and considerable anxiety. And in other news... as always, this chat with Patrick and Tiff was of a conversational smorgasbord of bullsh*t, banter and a smattering of tech-talk.

#1430 Science (ish) - Matty Lansdown

In this somewhat unique episode, Food Scientist, Nutritionist and TYP regular Matty Lansdown and I discuss the recent Netflix series titled 'You Are What You Eat', which extols the virtues of a plant-based diet. In a time when people can get a little hysterical (on all sides) about how to eat, exercise, vote, live (etc.), it can be tough to have an objective and reasonable conversation about a topic that can divide, confuse and even incite hate speech. BTW, one of my best friends (Patrick, who features on TYP) is a healthy vegan, so I'm definitely not a critic but rather, a curious observer of what's currently happening in the great food debate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1413 Concussion, Sugar & Fluoride - David Gillespie

The thing about a David Gillespie chat is, I never know WTF he's gonna talk about, where the conversation will go, whether l'll be smart enough to keep up and how many people he's gonna piss off with his insights. This time we spoke about some fascinating new research highlighting the significantly greater risk of concussion for women in contact sports, specifically, the AFLW which is 4-6 higher for women. We also spoke about the dangers of fluoride (yes, fluoride), the crazy amount of sugar consumed by the average Aussie per day and whether or not, fruit gets the tick of approval from the Chief of the Sugar Police.

#1089 The Doctor Who Prescribes Cuddling - Dr. Marc Cohen

Dr. Marc Cohen prescribes cuddling, laughing, lying on the floor with your dog, yoga, dancing, barefoot walking, writing poetry, sunshine and every now and then, if there’s no other option, he prescribes a drug. Marc is a registered medical practitioner with degrees in western medicine, physiology and psychological medicine along with PhDs in Chinese medicine and biomedical engineering. He’s a doctor three times over. Literally. In 2002 he became Australia’s first Professor of Complementary Medicine and Head of the Department of Complementary Medicine at RMIT University, which was by far the largest such department in the country with around 100 staff and 1000 students. He has spent more than 30 years practicing and researching holistic health and published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers and many books and technical texts on wellness and natural medicine. He is one of Australia’s pioneers of integrative and holistic medicine and has made significant impacts on education, research, clinical practice and policy.

#966 What Is Social Enterprise? - Kim McDonnell

This is an interesting chat about the ever-present challenge of businesses wanting to make money, do some good in the world (for the planet and people) and let’s be honest, protect (or enhance) their brand along the way. It’s also about purpose and value driven people building commercial organisations with a primary focus of creating positive and sustainable impact in the world. I’m gonna be honest, until this conversation I didn’t totally understand what social enterprise looked like in practice or in the commercial landscape. In 2013, Kim founded ‘Thankful’, a social enterprise supported by more than 20 years of scientific research. Under her guidance, Thankful’s innovative model merges philanthropy and business to create a positive, sustainable, and scalable impact. She is committed to unifying influencers, thought leaders, brands and organisations to create the most significant impact for communities in Australia and beyond.

#843 Optimal Learning & Teaching - Gavin McCormack

After 843 Episodes, I can say that this chat goes straight into my all-time top ten. It won’t (be top ten) for everyone but it is for me. I absolutely loved it. For a range of reasons, this conversation resonated powerfully with me, challenged me and made me realise a lot of things about myself that I wasn’t fully aware of, hadn’t acknowledged and maybe didn’t even understand. Like, how I learn best. And what would have been an ideal learning environment and model for me, when I was kid. Gavin McCormack has been a teacher for more than 25 years, working in countries throughout the world and building many schools in the Himalayan regions of Nepal. As a Montessori ambassador for Australia and the co-founder upschool.co and Educationinfluence.com, Gavin has worked tirelessly for 25 years to change the face of education for those before him. He has trained teachers all over the world and currently runs the two largest teacher training centres in Nepal. Enjoy. XxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#690 A Life Of Design - Debbie Millman

Debbie Millman is a delight; super smart, awesome energy, engaging, creatively brilliant and despite her enormous success, totally grounded and authentic. I loved this chat. Graphic Design USA named her one of the most influential designers of our times. She is the president emeritus of AIGA, the professional association of designers in the US, and one of the five women to hold this position in the organisation’s 100-year history. Debbie co-founded the world’s first graduate program in branding at the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2010, she is the editorial and creative director of Print Magazine, the oldest magazine on design in the States, she has written seven books, is a world-renowned educator and hosts one of the longest-running podcasts on the planet; the super successful ‘Design Matters’. Growing up, Debbie’s family life was difficult and traumatising, with frequent episodes of violence and sexual abuse. “I had a lot of brutality in my life, for the first 18 years I lived in a state of constant terror and compensated with art”, she says. This lady is an inspiration who has succeeded, despite her circumstances and experiences. I loved her and you might too. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
