The You Project

This is an interesting (and fun) one. Craig went deep, exploring (1) what it means to 'live our values' (2) his thoughts on intimate relationships (good grief) (3) starting a speaking career (4) when to 'unfriend' in the real world (5) managing our mind (6) creating habits (7) fear of injury (in training) and lots more....

Managing You: Looking for Process, Meaning, Purpose, Alignment and Happiness. This episode is a little different. Over the last month I've been recording an audio program (which will go on sale soon). This episode is a section of the program that I won't be using because there's too much overlap (repetition) with some other sections. This is the raw audio without the polished editing, so you'll hear some occasional breathing, sniffles, pauses and other normal human stuff. Nonetheless, I think you'll find it valuable. Perhaps listen to it with a pen and paper as I ask some questions. Enjoy, Craig.

This Episode is about turning and idea into a thing. An intention into an action. It's about exploring talent and potential. Developing skill. Creating opportunities. Navigating professional relationships. It's about vision, passion and energy. It's about two young creatives building a business, brand and team. It's about Josh and Tommy who have hilariously and ironically called their small media company, Big Media Company.

On this Episode of The You Project, fellow Podcaster Hayden Wilson interviews Craig about his personal journey from fat, insecure, over-thinking fourteen year-old to mildly-successful, lean, insecure, over-thinking fifty-five year old.

Josh and Tommy from TDTS are back chatting to me (for their podcast) and seeing as (1) I'm super lazy and (2) we had a great chat, I thought we'd Podcast-share (it's a thing). In this Ep. we talk about everything from building a business and brand, to purpose and passion, to Elon Musk and other socially awkward people, to the future of blogs and podcasts, to the development of my cult and the day fourteen people showed up to one of my events with cheesecakes.

So Australia's No.1 Pro Bodybuilder and Gentle Giant is back to talk all things mind, body and life. Joining us in the studio was Josh's physiology, biochemistry and nutrition guy, Daniel Veneziano. We had a great chat.

This is not a 'place' I go too often these days but after thirty-five years of working with thousands of bodies (and the beautiful but complicated creatures who inhabit those bodies), I have a few thoughts on the multi-layered process of creating lasting physical transformation (the common goal). In this episode, I begin the conversation.

My intention with this Podcast was to share from my last book and freestyle around it a little. I say, intention. What actually happened, once the mic was on, was that I broke into a spontaneous coaching session covering everything from motivation, mindset, decision-making and the messy-ness of life to the inevitability of discomfort, doing the work, why knowledge is not the answer and my personal hatred of stretching. If you're in need of a gentle kick, I think you'll enjoy this.

I was recently interviewed on the Australian Fitness Podcast with Russell Jarrett and we had a fun chat around all things health, fitness, mindset and success, so I've decided to share it through The You Project platform. And BTW, yes I've been a slack Podcaster and yes, I'll be back with a new episode every week from now.

In this episode of the You Project, Craig answers listener questions, covering everything from kids lifting weights (yes or no), helping someone 'find their way', getting 'in the zone', advice he would give 15 year-old him, who he'd love to interview, his greatest achievement, dealing with an overwhelming task, the limited value of willpower, his top 3 health non-negotiables and lots more.

Media personality, elite athlete, Australian representative and now 'Block' competitor, Bianca Chatfield and Craig go deep on all things happiness, purpose, life, professional sport and of course, the behind-the-scenes goss on the this year's instalment of the Block.

In this episode Craig chats with 'The Bachelor', Sam Wood about building a business and brand, his time working with Craig (at Harper's), making and losing money, fatherhood, finding love on national TV and the behind the scenes lunacy of a reality show.

Back by popular demand, Mick Hall. This week on The You Project, one of our most popular guests returns. Alcoholism. Drug addiction. Prison. Father at 17. Violence. Loneliness. Depression. Psychiatric hospitals. Recovery. Hope. Radio host. Business owner. Brand builder. Functional human. It's been a crazy ride. In this episode, we continue our fascinating conversation from episode 3.

In this Ep. of TYP, Craig gets educated, inspired and mildly confused with Professor Sharon Ricardo (Regenerative Medicine, Monash University), who's clearly smarter than him. No surprise there. They cover everything from strength training, optimal nutrition and mindset to anti-aging, genetic manipulation, stem cell therapies and growing replacement organs in dishes. Like actual organs! Kidneys, brains... 'n stuff. Weird.

In the this episode of TYP Craig goes deep with Australia's best Pro Bodybuilder, humble giant and all-round nice human, Josh Lenartowicz. They cover everything from body dysmorphia, competing in the Mr. Olympia, insecurity, self-doubt and being a giant freak on the streets of Japan (scaring children) to training in a prison gym for three years, building a personal brand, Josh's off-season basketball head, his love-hate relationship with the Stairmaster and his aspirations to win the Mr. O.
