“I’ve never interviewed a psychopath before.”
This conversation begins where most would stop.
In this episode, Aleksandra sits down with Lewis Raymond Taylor — the entrepreneur featured in Netflix’s The Psychopath Life Coach — for a rare, unfiltered exploration of what it means to live without fear, remorse, or visceral emotional response… and still choose responsibility, restraint, and transformation.
This isn’t a spectacle.
It’s a psychological examination of wiring, choice, and consequence.
Lewis speaks openly about violence, prison, addiction, antisocial personality disorder, and the moment he realised the problem wasn’t the world around him — it was himself. From young offenders’ institutions to building a multi-million-pound business, this conversation traces how logic replaced chaos, and how extreme traits were redirected rather than denied.
What makes this episode different is not the diagnosis — it’s the honesty.
Aleksandra doesn’t sensationalise. She doesn’t flinch either. Instead, she holds the space for a conversation about responsibility, neurodiversity, masculinity, ambition, and the uncomfortable truth that success, significance, and fulfilment are not the same thing.
This episode explores:
What psychopathy actually is — and what people get wrong about it
Why some people feel nothing… and why that can be dangerous or powerful
How violence, addiction, and chaos can become substitutes for feeling
Why rock bottom isn’t always what changes someone
How education, discipline, and self-awareness can rewire behaviour
The psychological cost of success when it’s used to replace love
The difference between emotional empathy and cognitive responsibility
It’s an episode about extremes — and what happens when someone consciously chooses a different one.
