The Art of Brilliance Podcast

Welcome to episode 12. Today we're joined by Izzie Miller, who is talking about how our brain works.

Specifically, Izzie is interested in neurons - and how these little dots create connections inside your brain as you learn new things.

The clever bit? The more you do something, the stronger these connections become and the easier that thing becomes to do. The REALLY clever bit? This same principle can apply to how you think as well... meaning that it can become easier to think positively.

Welcome to episode 11. Today we're joined by Hannah Knowles with a short chat about something really important... Anxiety.

Anxiety is everywhere at the moment. You're probably feeling it yourself and if not, you'll definitely know someone who is.

So in this episode, Hannah gives us 5 really simple and quick tools to help us deal with it.

Welcome to episode 10. Today we're joined by Jonathan Peach, who wants to talk about the power of your beliefs.

JP believes that you're incredible, and you're capable of anything - but there is one thing that can constantly get in your way... and that's you.

Your beliefs are what will determine the sort of life you can have. Whether you believe you can or you can't, you're right.

So, how can you change your beliefs? It's as easy as A, B, C, D, E. Have a listen to learn more...

This week, we're back with Dr Andy Cope as he talks about the film Sixth Sense.

In short - it made Andy ask the question "Are you living... or are you alive?" Have a listen to see what he means...

Oh and spoiler alert, if you've not seen the film, you might want to give it a watch before listening to this super short podcast.

This week we're joined again by Art of Brill trainer, Kev House.

In this episode, Kev starts by telling a story about when he signed up for the New York marathon, despite being 4 stone overweight and having never exercised...

Mind over matter? Have a listen to find out how he managed it.

This week, we're back with Dr Andy Cope as he talks about Ready Brek...

Yeah that's the one, the cereal from the 80's. After watching a TV advert for Ready Brek, Andy realised that it was surprisingly relatable to modern life...

This week we're joined by Darrell Woodman, who's asking us if we need to try and slow down a little?

Daz was inspired to slow down by two things - a book called "The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down" and being able to see a rather large quantity of bird poo outside his kitchen window...

I guess you could say he couldn't see the birds for the poo. Anyway... give this episode a listen if you want to see how Daz stopped seeing the poo, and started enjoying the birds...

This week, we're back with Dr Andy Cope as he introduces the 10:5 principle to you.

Andy starts with a bit of a realisation that life can be a bit like "free from" foods... and that it should be enjoyed, not endured.

He also sets a bit of homework, challenging you to introduce the 10:5 principle into your life - it can feel a bit awkward (and you can't do it on the London Underground), but the results can be inspiring.

Legendary keynote speaker Kev House is a clever bloke who’s an expert in ‘life’ as well as being the Art of Brilliance resilience expert.

In this episode, Kev talks about the nagging voice in your head, the inner critic that we all have, and how to make it your friend instead of your enemy.

It’s about intentional energy, consistency and awareness. Kev motivates you to be braver and to try new things

Positive Psychology guru Hannah Knowles explains how marginal gains add up to a MASSIVE leap forward.

She shares lessons from GB cycling that went from zeros to heroes. One percent improvements led to gold medals, Tour de France winners, world champs… all achieved by the aggregation of marginal gains.

So much learning crammed into such a short podcast. Apply the learning to your life and you’ll be glad you listened
