Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast covers themes of personal growth, mental health, community building, and social issues, with episodes exploring topics like addiction recovery, surrogacy, emotional breakthroughs from meditation, and the complexities of modern relationships.

A podcast about the moments that change everything. Host Chris Beattie sits down with people from all walks of life to explore the experiences, decisions and setbacks that shaped who they became. From athletes and entrepreneurs to experts and people with remarkable life stories, these are honest conversations about change, identity, resilience, purpose and what it means to build a meaningful life.
Hunter McIntyre was once the athlete who inspired James Kelly to get into HYROX. Then they became friends. Then everything changed.
In this episode, James opens up about the breakdown of their relationship, why he believes things shifted when he became a genuine competitor, and why he now describes his former hero as a “bully”.
From their early friendship to beating Hunter at the World Championships, James shares his perspective on one of HYROX’s biggest personalities, and explains why he believes Hunter sometimes thinks he’s bigger than the sport.
