Live Into Your Brilliance
by Al Kenny
2.5 Years of Podcasting: What We've Learned And What Comes Next
About this podcast
Live Into Your Brilliance is about how we come to live the lives we live, and what becomes possible when we see ourselves and our lives differently.
Best mates Al Kenny and Mark Bilos have honest, curious and often funny conversations with people they genuinely want to understand, exploring what has shaped them, the choices they’ve made, the consequences of those choices, and what they’re still figuring out.
Underneath it all is a question: how do we become more conscious authors of our own lives, knowing that we never control what happens next?
You might leave seeing the guest differently. You might see yourself and your own life differently. You might recognise a possibility you hadn’t seen before.
What you do with that is yours.
