“I’ve never interviewed a psychopath before.”In this episode, Aleksandra sits down with Lewis Raymond Taylor — the entrepreneur featured in Netflix’s The Psychopath Life Coach — for a rare, unsettling, and deeply intelligent conversation about psychopathy, responsibility, and choice.Lewis was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder. He speaks openly about growing up with violence, addiction, and chaos, serving multiple prison sentences, and living without fear, remorse, or emotional empathy. But this conversation isn’t about shock value — it’s about what happens when someone becomes self-aware enough to stop blaming the world and take control of their behaviour.This episode explores what psychopathy actually is (and what it isn’t), why extreme traits don’t automatically lead to evil, and how logic, discipline, and education can redirect even the most destructive patterns. Lewis reflects on fatherhood, accountability, masculinity, and the uncomfortable truth that success doesn’t automatically bring fulfilment — especially when emotional connection is absent.Aleksandra holds the space for a calm, unflinching conversation about power, restraint, and responsibility, asking the questions most people avoid and refusing to reduce complex psychology into headlines.This is not a redemption fantasy.It’s a conversation about wiring, awareness, and the decision to live differently.In this episode, we explore:What it really means to be a psychopathThe difference between emotional empathy and cognitive responsibilityViolence, addiction, and the search for sensationPrison, punishment, and why rock bottom isn’t always transformativeEducation as a turning point, not a miracle cureWhy success doesn’t equal fulfilmentHow extreme traits can be redirected rather than deniedA challenging, intelligent listen for anyone interested in human behaviour, masculinity, power, and the psychology behind reinvention.🔗 Watch the full video episode and explore more conversations on Beyond with Aleksandra King:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3iQHE-qteJING9jXVVuVUdDa-9qqer7J🎬 Produced by video podcast production company – Aleksandra Mediahttps://aleksandra.media

Chameleons, Lions & Lies: Spy-Grade Deception Decoded — Gavin Stone on Statement Analysis & ControlWatch: Full Episode | TrailerA high-signal masterclass in human behaviour with Gavin Stone — an ex-intelligence officer, body-language expert, and real-world spy strategist. Alongside host Aleksandra King, he decodes the animal instincts behind human influence: bold lioness energy, cheetah-like calm, chameleon adaptability, and the “wolf” that won’t be trained. You’ll hear practical spy-grade tools for negotiations, leadership, and sales — and a few secret agent-level insights for reading people fast and gaining the upper hand.Aleksandra — a charismatic business interviewer — isn’t one to tolerate deception or BS; she even walked out of BBC’s The Apprentice rather than compromise her values. Now she finds common ground with Gavin’s espionage-honed approach to reading people. Together, they explore how mastering deception detection can give you more control in the boardroom and beyond.What You’ll Learn One tell is not enough: Why a single cue (like a gaze drop or arm fold) means little on its own — and how clusters of 3+ signals (e.g. compressed lips, fidgeting, blinking fast) expose real lies. Baseline before judging: How to “calibrate” someone’s normal behavior across different contexts (home vs. work vs. high-pressure) before labeling any behavior as deceptive. Instant room reads: A 10-second trick to gauge group dynamics — ask a tough question and watch where everyone’s eyes go to immediately spot the key players and power balance. Body’s stress signals: What a spike in blink rate and whether someone is chest-breathing or belly-breathing reveals about their stress level (and how calm, controlled people breathe) — plus why even a polygraph machine only detects stress, not lies. Statement Analysis 101: The difference between answers that pacify (“I wouldn’t do that”) vs. answers that truly deny wrongdoing (“I did not do that”) — and why it matters. Identity-based influence: Why people “buy who they are,” how tribes and an owner’s-club mentality drive decision-making, and how to frame your message to fit someone’s identity.Subscribe for More: Don’t miss upcoming episodes — subscribe here for updates and exclusive content.Get in Touch: For sponsorship opportunities or to apply as a guest on the show, please contact us.Follow Aleksandra on LinkedIn for behind-the-scenes updates and insights.

In this Beyond with Aleksandra King episode, Aleksandra sits down with Professor Robin Dunbar, the world-renowned evolutionary psychologist from the University of Oxford who formulated the famous *Dunbar’s Number*. They explore the science behind how humans form social connections and challenge common assumptions about friendship circles. Drawing on Dunbar’s research, the conversation reveals why social media “friends lists” can be misleading and why most people can realistically maintain only about **150 meaningful relationships. Aleksandra, a female podcast host UK known for her fearless, no-holds-barred style, guides the discussion from personal anecdotes to hard science, cutting through the noise to uncover what truly drives human bonding. Episode Highlights Dunbar’s Number – The 150-person limit: discover why your online network has strict boundaries. In this episode Dunbar explains why your extended “friends list” isn’t what it seems and how roughly **150 stable relationships** is the cognitive limit for most adults. Intimacy Layers – The human social spectrum: learn about the circles of connection from your core 5 “shoulders-to-cry-on” friends to the 15-person sympathy group and the 50-person “weekend barbecue” layer. Aleksandra and Dunbar unpack how often you truly connect with each group. Time Investment – The cost of closeness: understand why building one new close friendship demands about **200 hours** of in-person time. Dunbar lays out the brutal math: to add a person to your inner circle, someone else may have to slip out. Positive Gossip & Trust – Rediscover gossip: Dunbar reframes gossip as an information-sharing tool that helps manage social networks. He also exposes why breakdowns of trust in families are so catastrophic and how “over-investment” in loved ones can make splits painfully raw The “Icebreaker” of Singing – The surprising power of song: singing together is revealed as one of the most powerful ways to create instant bonds. Learn how group singing synchronizes emotions and rapidly builds community trust Homophily (The “Jane Austen Problem”) – Similarity and friendship: explore our instinct to seek friends like ourselves and why chasing a “perfect” connection (the Jane Austen problem) can actually limit our social growth. Spotting Toxic People – Navigating the outliers: understand the psychology of toxic individuals. Dunbar outlines how some people are simply genetically wired to be selfish or manipulative, and offers insight on keeping your social circle healthy. Throughout the episode, Dunbar provides a fresh lens for evaluating your own social world. The conversation is both entertaining and packed with actionable insights. Whether discussing trust and family bonds or practical “social toolkit” strategies for business and life, Aleksandra’s boardroom energy pushes the dialogue beyond surface-level chatter. By the end, listeners gain a clearer understanding of what makes friendships thrive (or fail) and how *social science* can inform our everyday relationshipsEnjoyed this exploration of friendship science?
