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

  Sep 25, 20261h 11mS3

  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

  Sep 17, 20261h 8mS3

  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

  Aug 31, 20261h 5mS3

  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.
