Frequently Asked Questions

Beyond with Aleksandra King (formerly known as Beyond the Boardroom) is a video-first interview podcast series that features fearless, unfiltered conversations on resilience, ambition, and unapologetic success. The show cuts through small talk and fluff to deliver deep, cinematic conversations with founders, deal-makers, and cultural voices. It is designed for listeners who crave signal over spin, focusing on actionable takeaways regarding power, status, navigating rejection, and the psychology of winning.

Aleksandra King is an entrepreneur, media personality, podcaster, and the CEO of Aleksandra Media. Born in Poland and raised in South Africa, she built a strong corporate background in telecoms consulting and global marketing before transitioning to media. She is widely recognized for her appearance on BBC’s The Apprentice UK in 2016, where she famously walked out mid-series to reclaim her autonomy—turning a controversial television moment into a powerful lesson in mental resilience and trusting her gut. Today, she channels her unapologetic and uncompromising style into her podcast, making her a host who is composed, incisive, and impossible to bulldoze.

The podcast features a highly diverse lineup of entrepreneurs, reality TV stars, thought leaders, and specialized experts. Some notable past guests include:

• Lewis Raymond Taylor (The Psychopath Life Coach) – Discussing the realities of psychopathy, extreme traits, and the difference between success and fulfillment.
• Joshua Fletcher (Psychotherapist) – Breaking down the science of anxiety, panic, and why trying to "control" feelings often makes them worse.
• Jennifer Hanway (Holistic Nutritionist) – Revealing secrets to metabolism, hormones, and conquering exhaustion.
• Jessica Cath (Financial Crime Expert) – Exposing AI-driven fraud and how to protect yourself from sophisticated scams.
• Jamie Roberts (Private Equity Leader) – Demystifying the elite world of investment and the "1%".
• Emily Hughes (Parenting Expert) – Reframing modern parenting anxieties and discussing how to set boundaries without guilt.
• Philip Kinsella (Researcher) – Exploring interdimensional theories, UFOs, and the unknown.
• Sam Vanderpump – Sharing his journey from reality TV to a near-death battle with sepsis.

You can consume the content in several ways depending on your preference:

If you enjoy shows like Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO for founder stories, Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom for deep reflection, or Piers Morgan for uncompromising challenges, Beyond sits in the same neighborhood but has its own distinct edge. It leans much harder into in-the-moment accountability, moves faster toward sharp, uncomfortable truths, and channels intense questions into purposeful, actionable takeaways rather than pure theatre. The episodes feature clean intros and ruthless edits designed to respect the listener's time.
