#102 Craig Harper - The Science of Self-Awareness: Illustrated Through Stories About Jesus, Jazz Hands and Jizz

Craig Harper is obsessed with human behaviour and over the past 4 decades has worn multiple hats including Exercise Scientist, Personal Trainer, Best-Selling Author, Corporate Speaker, University Lecturer, AFL Strength & Conditioning Coach, Business Owner, and self-proclaimed Bogan.

He is host of the wildly successful podcast ‘The You Project’ and speaks at over 100 corporate events every year. His PHD is about how others experience you, diving into rich psychological principles including metacognition, theory of mind, meta-perception, and meta-accuracy. And as you'll discover from listening this episode, he dances from evidence-based rigour to in your face shock value. That's why we love him!

In this episode Andrew and Craig talk about:

2:40 Craig’s love of human potential, his PHD in meta cognition and how sometimes "the actual problem" is at the top end of the business.

7:45 You’re employing people, not robots, your intentions are not what other people experience and Craig’s story of getting critical feedback and running with it.

18:15 The 5 different parts of you, being less performative and more personal and having less of a persona on stage to be more relatable.

29:00 Starting any journey as a white belt, Craig’s self-awareness pyramid model and don’t wait for a catastrophe to make changes.

36:45 It’s easy to keep doing the same thing even if it doesn’t work, you spend a year designing your perfect house but you don’t spend any time designing your life and mindfulness vs mindlessness.

45:15 What is meta perception, Craigs upbringing in a Christian household and why he eventually left the church.

52:45 Craigs take on spirituality, using prayer to regulate emotions and Craig’s minimal preparation process for speaking events.

1:01:00 5 years of no jizz, finding the best presentation style for you and  Craigs praise for Andrew.

1:08:30 being on a continuous growth journey, Andrew and Craig being terrified of doing stand up comedy and where people can find Craig.
