    Grant Murrell: The Psychology of Reading People, Building Trust and Success

    Grant Murrell can tell a great deal about what you are thinking from the direction of your feet. A specialist in hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming and human behaviour, he joins Aleksandra King, host and producer, on The BEYOND Podcast to explain what the signals people cannot easily control reveal about attention, interest and intention. The conversation goes well past body language into why capable people still underperform: how fear can disguise itself as ego, why procrastination is really the tribe protecting you, and why lasting change is about who you are prepared to become rather than the techniques you pick up. Founder of Success Is A Formula, Grant Murrell has studied success since the age of fourteen. The Grant Murrell podcast episode closes on trust, congruence and the lane you choose to drive in. In this conversation: what the feet and hips give away when the face does not; why the calmest person in the room holds the power; how fear can look like ego; what builds trust and what quietly destroys it; why ambitious goals become achievable once they are broken into smaller wins.

    Anna Hemmings: How a Six-Time World Champion Performs Under Pressure

    Anna Hemmings MBE knows the start line better than most: six world titles as a marathon kayaker, two Olympic Games, and the seconds before the starting gun when everyone has trained hard and everyone has talent. What happens in the mind on race day, she says, is what separates the good from the exceptional. On The BEYOND Podcast she joins Aleksandra King, host and producer, to turn race-day psychology into a repeatable system for leaders, founders and anyone who must stay consistent under pressure. Now a high performance and resilience specialist and the founder of Beyond the Barriers, Anna Hemmings was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome at the peak of her career and told she might never race again; she recovered and won three more world titles. The Anna Hemmings podcast episode ends on the lesson that illness taught her: recovery is a strategy for high performance, not a reward. In this conversation: what goes through Anna Hemmings's head in the seconds before the starting gun; why fear lives in the outcome and how the process takes it away; controlling the controllables, down to the breath you can always control; why visualisation is rehearsal, not manifesting; how to question a limiting belief and rewrite it in an increment you can believe, the reframing behind three world titles won on a sprint finish.

    Bradley Garrett: Inside the Places You're Never Meant to See

    What lies beneath the cities we walk through every day, and what drives someone to explore the places the rest of us are told to stay out of? Bradley Garrett, the outlaw geographer, urban explorer, photographer and author of Explore Everything, joins Aleksandra King, host and producer, on The BEYOND Podcast for a journey through the world's hidden and off-limits spaces: London's buried rivers, abandoned asylums, the Chernobyl exclusion zone and the top of the Shard. Bradley also opens up about the consequences of pushing boundaries, from being arrested and spending two years on bail to being treated as a security risk, and the philosophy that shaped his unconventional life: weighing risk against reward, following curiosity, and refusing to spend his limited time working on someone else's project. The Bradley Garrett podcast episode closes inside the growing world of doomsday prepping and the vast tunnel systems that quietly make modern life possible. In this conversation: how an archaeologist becomes an outlaw geographer; what actually exists beneath a modern city; the Shard climb, and what happened when the police boarded his plane; how he weighs risk against reward, and when a risk stops being worth it; why people are investing millions in underground survival spaces.

    Alex Staniforth: What Two Everest Disasters Reveal About Mental Health

    What happens when you come face to face with death and survive? Alex Staniforth, the record-breaking ultra-endurance athlete, adventurer and founder of Mind Over Mountains, joins Aleksandra King, host and producer, on The BEYOND Podcast. Before the age of 20 he survived the two biggest disasters in the history of Mount Everest, and the experiences changed how he thinks about fear, resilience and purpose. The Alex Staniforth podcast episode goes from the 2015 avalanche, moment by moment, to the childhood of epilepsy, bullying and a stammer that sent him to the mountain in the first place, hypothermia on the Bob Graham Round, and the walking charity he now leads to help others restore their mental health in the outdoors. In this conversation: the 2015 avalanche, moment by moment; why a teenager with epilepsy, bullying and a stammer chose Everest; whether Everest has lost its magic; why resilience is the ability to recharge; why the biggest barrier is so often ourselves.

    Anthony Flynn: The Hidden Psychology of Style, Success and Status

    Before you have said a word, you have already made an impression, and behaviour and financial expert Anthony Flynn has spent years studying why. He joins Aleksandra King on The BEYOND Podcast to explore the psychology behind style, confidence and first impressions, and how the way we present ourselves can open or close doors before we speak. Far from a conversation about fashion, this Anthony Flynn podcast episode examines how clothing influences perception, shapes identity and changes how we carry ourselves, and why dressing with intention can help you show up with greater confidence and purpose. In this conversation: Why first impressions form so quickly. How style influences confidence, behaviour and self-perception. The psychology behind luxury brands, status and identity. Whether success really has a dress code. Why authenticity is more powerful than following trends. Aleksandra King, host and producer.

    Geoff White: How Cybercrime Became a Global Industry

    Investigative journalist Geoff White has interviewed fraudsters and money launderers the world over, and he joins Aleksandra King on The BEYOND Podcast to reveal how hacking has evolved into a sophisticated global industry worth billions. This is a journey inside the hidden world of organised cybercrime, from the gangs behind ransomware to the laundering networks that clean their profits. Drawing on years of investigative reporting for the BBC, Channel 4 and The Sunday Times, Geoff explains how cyber weapons once developed by governments found their way into criminal hands, why ransomware has become one of the world's most lucrative crimes, and how today's cyber criminals operate more like multinational businesses than lone hackers. If you want a Geoff White podcast conversation that goes past the headlines into the economics, psychology and infrastructure of cybercrime, this is it. In this conversation: How cybercrime became a billion-dollar global industry. The rise of organised cyber criminal networks. Ransomware and the mechanics of digital extortion. Government cyber tools now in criminal hands. Practical lessons for protecting yourself online.

    Lara Morgan: Building Pacific Direct to a £20M Exit

    Lara Morgan, entrepreneur, investor and founder of Pacific Direct, built and sold a business for £20 million, and she joins Aleksandra King on The BEYOND Podcast to unpack how she did it. Her answer starts with resilience, humility, hard work and a willingness to embrace failure. As a child she watched her father struggle financially and eventually go bankrupt. Rather than leaving her afraid of risk, that experience forged the mindset that later helped her build, scale and successfully exit a global business. In this Lara Morgan podcast conversation, she and Aleksandra King explore leadership, sales, confidence, teamwork and decision-making, the case for taking action before you feel ready, and the philosophy behind her bestselling book More Balls Than Most. In this conversation: How childhood experiences shaped her relationship with money and success Why failure is one of life's greatest teachers The sales habits that helped build a £20 million business Why successful people put themselves in uncomfortable situations How to build high-performing teams and avoid a life of regret Full episode page: https://www.thebeyondpodcast.com/how-lara-morgan-built-and-sold-a-ps20m-business/ Aleksandra King, host and producer.
