11: TV Broadcaster Reveals What the World’s Top Performers All Have in Common | Gavin Ramjaun

This week’s guest is Gavin Ramjaun, the broadcaster and journalist with 22 years on British TV behind him: from CBBC's Newsround and Sportsround through to BBC Sport, Sky News and ITV's This Morning.    Gavin talks candidly about choosing journalism against his family's wishes for him to go into medicine, and how he broke into a notoriously closed industry by writing around 100 letters a week before landing his first jobs as a runner for Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. They get into the visualisation coaching from broadcast coach Ray Alexander that taught Gavin to mentally rehearse every show before the cameras rolled, and why he now sees that same "clarity of vision" running through every high achiever he's interviewed, from Samuel L. Jackson to Novak Djokovic, as a form of unconscious manifestation.    Gavin also opens up about losing his dad and welcoming his first child within days of each other, what that taught him about purpose, and the ongoing challenge of staying present as a new parent in a world designed to pull your attention away.    Matt & Corisande, with Gavin Ramjaun, discuss:  Writing around 100 letters a week to break into television, and the "you won't hit the target unless you take a shot" mindset that got him his first jobs as a runner for Ant & Dec and Gordon Ramsay The visualisation coaching from Ray Alexander that taught Gavin to mentally rehearse every broadcast before the cameras rolled, and why he calls it "unconscious manifestation" Interviewing A-list names like Samuel L.

For years, he has explored the intersection of manifestation, consciousness and the quantum world, helping people understand how to work with their thoughts, emotions and intentions to create their future. Corisande is a creative director with a deeply intuitive approach to life and business. Through meditation, she often experiences remarkably vivid glimpses of what’s ahead, seeing ideas, spaces and possibilities in extraordinary detail, sometimes long before they become reality. Together, they bring two different perspectives to Beyond: Matt’s endless curiosity for understanding how the unseen might work, and Corisande’s instinctive ability to feel and see it before it arrives.
