Science journalist Alex Hutchinson explores risk, reinvention, and what drives us to seek the unknown – in sport, life, and beyond.
With a rare mix of elite athletic experience and academic insight, Alex unpacks what drives high performers to grow, adapt, and keep going, especially when the path ahead isn’t clear.
Whether you’re an athlete, a leader, or standing at a personal crossroads, this conversation will hit home. We explore how to navigate transitions, rebuild identity, and find meaning in challenge. This is about more than performance… It’s about purpose, curiosity, and how to rewrite your story when it matters most.
Join us to explore:
- Harnessing the “Effort Paradox”
- Reinventing identity through challenge and change
- The biology driving risk and reward
- Mastering self-talk under pressure
- How superstition shapes high performance
- What drives us to explore the unknown
