Human Alchemy
Human Alchemy is a podcast focused on people who have trained themselves to go from ordinary to exceptional.
Alchemy is the mystical practice of turning lead into gold and we speak to people who have managed the human equivalent. While there is a focus on performance, the podcast focuses on the moment or phase of change where someone starts to become something else and dives into how it was achieved.
Every now and then there will be an episode focused purely on one topic which will be called a 'Ross Examination' (For those early listeners you'll be familiar with the name) where I'll try to focus in on the key performance drivers of said topic.
Enjoy!

On this episode of Human Alchemy, I sat down with Simon Brodkin.
Simon has a great CV of performance under pressure having worked initially as a junior doctor before entering the world of TV where he sprung to prominence with characters like Lee Nelson and Jason Bent.
Simon became world famous with high profile stunts where he took on people like Donald Trump, Theresa May, Kanye West and ex-FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
He has also excelled in the stand-up comedy world where he has performed on Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety and Edinburgh Fringe.
Simon and I mainly focused on one topic; Performance Under Pressure, and Simon has had to deal with a lot of pressure.
Enjoy the episode!
