Tiff, Bobby and myself all coach people in various capacities, different contexts and for different reasons. But what is it that makes somebody a good coach? How much of it is about knowledge? How much of it is about personality? Social skills? Emotional intelligence? Self-awareness? Situational-awareness? Qualifications? I’m often asked about what’s required to become a successful coach in the avalanche of coaches we have putting up their hand in 2026. This is a chat about that. Enjoy.

I loved this chat with Professor Adam Kucharski, although recording it in the evening probably wasn’t the optimal time for my brain (LOL). *BIO: Professor Adam Kucharski is a mathematician, epidemiologist and award-winning science writer at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. His research uses mathematics and data to understand how infectious diseases spread and how outbreaks can be predicted and controlled. He has advised governments and health agencies around the world and played a significant role in analysing the COVID-19 pandemic. Adam is also the bestselling author of The Rules of Contagion, The Perfect Bet, and his latest book, Proof: The Uncertain Science of Certainty.

Dr. Cam is back at TYP and this time we chat about the powerful relationship between our mind and our outcomes. We speak about the role of mindset and performance in relation to sport and more broadly, life. We explore the habit we humans have of creating and obsessing about problems that don’t exist and the equally self-limiting habit we have of ignoring the problems that do (exist). We talk about blame, constructive feedback, owning up to our BS and our capacity to build a personal prison, composed of flawed beliefs, self-limiting thinking, self-doubt and a bunch of other fear-based emotions. Enjoy.

So many claims, so many counter-claims, so many sales pitches, so much information and misinformation, so much emotion and pseudoscience, but what is real and what is not? While this episode is not the “gospel of peptides” according to Saint Jeff, it is an interesting and educated conversation with a medical Doctor (and Neurosurgeon) who currently works at the coalface of integrative medicine. As I say on repeat, our chat is not a personal recommendation or prescription, it’s a thoughtful exploration into a topic that’s getting lots of attention for all the right and wrong reasons. Enjoy.

Exercise Physiologist, Dietician, Entrepreneur and Educator Kate Save and I had a fun time agreeing and disagreeing on the current state of affairs in Australia, when it comes to all things health, wellness, marketing, education and longevity. We even came up with a couple of ideas that could become real-life somethings, not just theoretical conversation pieces on a podcast. We might need a bit of help getting them off the ground, but at least the wheels are turning. This was fun. I loved it.

Tune the-f*ck in, this is a goodie. I love chatting with people who question the status quo in their field, who challenge convention, who think outside the box and who do so with intelligence, integrity, compassion (for patients) and courage (it’s not a great way to gain popularity). Dr Matt Bernstein is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and one of the leading voices in the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry. With more than 25 years of clinical experience, he has held senior roles at McLean Hospital and is Chief Medical Officer at Ellenhorn and CEO of Accord. His work explores how metabolism, nutrition, exercise, sleep and therapeutic ketosis can influence brain function and mental health, particularly in conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Not surprisingly, I loved this chat.

This was one of my favourite chats this year. Two blokes throwing the vulnerability door wide open and it’s fair to say we went deep. I’m won’t say too much because I don’t want to ruin the listening experience but it’s fair to say that some of you will love it. You know when you don’t know what to expect from people and then you get pleasantly surprised? Well, this episode was one of those times. Enjoy.
