#2141 The Cafe Chat - Dr Sam Casey

Dr Sam was back in the virtual studio all the way from W.A. and this was one of those free-flowing (no particular topic) conversations I generally have with someone at a café - one where we start out with no particular plan, concept or pre-planned conversational destination. Just two people (three with Tiff) riffing on whatever comes up next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#2140 Around The Moon We Go - Patrick Bonello

Can you imagine how excited the resident geek has been about NASA sending a crew to do a lap of the moon and him having access to 24-7 coverage? When we recorded this, they were due to splash down not long after our chat and the fifty-something teenager was like a kid in a candy store - keeping with the US vibe. Sitting there in his NASA hoodie, with a headset mic (NASA-esque) and lunar backdrop screen behind him, it was hard to keep him focused. Of course, Tiff joined us and this was a fun time.

#2139 What Am I Capable Of? - Andrew May

This is a question I've been asking myself almost daily since I had a significant lightbulb moment (of self-awareness, possibility, potential) when I was a hefty teenager, who got un-hefty with almost no help, support, resources or knowledge. I was recently on the Andrew May podcast (Performance Intelligence) sitting in the guest chair and we chatted about this and many correlated topics. I loved it and here it is on TYP as a co-share (as the kids call it). Enjoy.Performance Intelligence PodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#2138 The Architect of Your Life - Bobby Cappuccio

Consciously or not, intentionally or not, we are all creating our own day-to-day version of life. Planet You Planet Me. The world we personally build and inhabit. Our perception. Experiences. Stories. Context. Environment. Relationships. Career. Health. Life. And if we don't write our own story, one will be written despite us - not because of us - and instead of being the author we become a character playing a role in someone or something else's story. Bobby and I talk about this and lots more in this episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#2137 What's The Deal With Artificial Sweeteners? - David Gillespie

According to David Gillespie, artificial and "sugar-free" sweeteners are not the harmless alternatives we've been led to believe they are. Of course you’re not surprised. In fact, they're really sh*t. Scientifically speaking. Apparently, they hijack the brain's expectation of energy, leading to increased hunger and overeating, and may also disrupt gut health and metabolism. More recent compounds - like sugar alcohols and "keto" sweeteners - are framed as potentially more dangerous, with emerging research suggesting links to blood clots and cardiovascular risk. The core message in this episode is that there's no "free lunch" in biology - sweetness without energy comes with consequences. Which is personally very annoying, 'cause I inhale that sh*t. Sorry to disappoint you. I’ll try harder.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
