The show
What this podcast is (and isn’t)
BEYOND is the interview podcast where Aleksandra King– entrepreneur, media personality and the BBC Apprentice candidate who chose to walk– cuts through noise and niceties to get to the truth: no fluff, just direct, challenging conversations with founders, deal-makers and cultural voices who have taken punches and kept moving.
Built on real power moves
- How people actually build status, survive rejection and turn shame into momentum.
- Conversations that go past the edit: Aleksandra’s calm, confident style invites candour and calls out waffle.
- Signal over spin: straight talk, clear takeaways and the courage to say what others won’t.
Why listeners stay
- Unfiltered lessons on confidence, rejection, status, power and the psychology of winning.
- Episode structures that respect your time: clean intros, ruthless edits and actionable debriefs.
- A host who won’t blink: composed, incisive and impossible to bulldoze.
If you rate Diary of a CEO for founder stories, Modern Wisdom for depth, or Piers Morgan for the hard questions, BEYOND sits alongside them with its own edge: accountability in the room, sharp truths you can act on the same week, and heat channelled into purposeful conversation rather than theatre.
