| 6/17/26 | ![]() Social Media and Screens... Devil's Work? | Is social media the devil's work? Andy assembles an unlikely panel to fight it out - and referees from the middle.In the blue corner: his son, AoB trainer Ollie Cope, who deleted all his social media accounts and is now doing a PhD on what they do to your brain. In the red corner: AoB's marketing manager Amy Bradley, the creative force behind the Art of Brilliance posts that land in your feed at 6am and the messages that follow - "I really needed to see that today."What follows is a properly good-natured scrap about the most divisive tool of our age. Ollie argues social media has tipped from neutral to net-harmful - hate sells faster, the algorithms learn your biases and feed them back to you, and nobody's incentivised to show you the other side. Amy makes the case that the same tools, used with love, genuinely change people's days. They're both right, which is what makes it interesting.In this episode:Why Ollie loves screens but deleted social media - and the difference between the twoAmy on the "scroll hole," the Mel Robbins 5-second rule, and training your own algorithmThe TikTok experiment that should worry every parentAndy's tongue-in-cheek phone stats (84% have texted someone in the same room... and the one that gets the biggest laugh at conferences)Hate sells faster: how the engagement economy rewards the worst of usThe opportunity cost nobody talks about: 42 days a year, and what you're not doing while you're scrollingHow to mute, guard and curate your way to a feed that's actually good for youNo moral panic. No "delete everything." Just an honest look at the little black rectangles we're all looking at 150 times a day - and how to take responsibility for how we use them.Take what works, leave what doesn't, have a play. | — | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | ![]() Could You Be Happier... Even If Nothing Around You Changed? | Could you be happier, even if nothing in the world around you changed?Andy puts the question to two of the Art of Brilliance trainers, Nikki Ayles and Kev House, in Episode 2 of the new series - and what follows is the most honest 25 minutes you'll spend this week.All three of them, by their own admission, would have said no a few years ago. The thinking went... my happiness is out there somewhere - in the next promotion, the holiday, the perfect Tuesday - and when life finally bends itself into the right shape, I'll catch up with it. Robert Holden calls this the WAIT problem. Most of us call it normal.But somewhere along the way, all three of them changed their minds. And that's what this episode is really about. How they did it. What it cost. And the very ordinary moments - pushing a trolley round Tesco's in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, sitting down for tea with your kids, going for a walk and not looking at your phone - that turned out to be the turning points.In this episode:Andy's epiphany in the cereal aisle: "everywhere I go, I'm there"Nikki on Three Good Things, and what changed when she started doing it on purpose with her kids at the dinner tableKev on the active process - and why he stopped waiting for life to happen to himWhy even the best advice won't land until you're ready to hear itBarbara Fredrickson's broaden-and-build: how happiness right now changes how you see your past and your futureAndy's question that we couldn't stop thinking about: Are we all suffering from human zoochosis?Three different definitions of "happy" - including the calm, contented version that doesn't get a podcast dealThree top tips for getting a bit more of the good stuff (one of which is: get comfortable feeling uncomfortable)If Episode 1 was about whether wellbeing tips actually work, this one goes a layer deeper... whether happiness itself is something you're waiting for or something you're doing.Take what works, leave what doesn't, enjoy. | — | ||||||
| 5/1/26 | ![]() Top Wellbeing Tips You Haven't Heard Before | Andy is back - and this time he's not in his car.After two seasons of recording on his iPhone in a layby, Andy has finally splashed out on a proper studio. To mark the occasion, Andy has roped in two of his Art of Being Brilliant co-conspirators, Will Hussey and Hannah Knowles, for a riff on something deceptively simple: top wellbeing tips you haven't heard before.Spoiler: Will's first tip is to stop listening to wellbeing tips. Andy's a little bit thrown. Things go from there.What follows is three trainers who actually know each other thinking out loud about what works, what stops working, and the gap between knowing the stuff and doing it.In this episode:Why other people's tips will only ever get you 75% of the way thereHannah's case for a non-self-improvement day (yes, including a day off from the self-help books)Will on rebranding "wellbeing" as "human-being" - and why eat, move, sleep is still doing most of the heavy liftingThe Olympian's rule that's rewired Hannah's mornings: I'll go firstAndy on habituation, déjà moo, and why his 2008 toothache trick eventually stopped workingReasons vs excuses - and why Will is on day 1,411 of runningNo big claims. No four-step framework. Just three people having a proper conversation about how to be a bit more brilliant on a Monday.Take what works, leave what doesn't, have a play. | — | ||||||

| 8/20/25 | ![]() The Toaster Story | What if the most complicated machine on earth came with no manual?In this episode, Andy takes a detour through a one-star review, a shiny new toaster, and the chaos of becoming a dad - only to land on a much bigger question… who actually taught you how to think?It’s a wild ride from hospital wards to hot bread, but the point is simple. Whilst our education is crammed full of maths, French, and media studies, nobody ever sits us down and explains thinking itself. Most of what’s in your head? Hand-me-downs from parents, teachers, and generations past.Tune in for toast, tiny toes, and a mental software upgrade that might just rewire how you see yourself - and the world around you. | — | ||||||
| 8/13/25 | ![]() A Brainy SOS | What if your brain could send you a desperate late-night email?This episode is short, sharp, and straight from the grey matter itself - literally. Andy reads a cheeky, slightly gross, and surprisingly heartfelt letter from “your brain” to “your body,” pleading for a better night’s sleep.You’ll learn why slow-wave snoozing is basically brain housekeeping, why screen time is the arch-nemesis of cranial cleanliness, and how skipping rest leaves you clogged up with… well, “brain poop.”It’s a playful reminder that beauty sleep isn’t just a saying - it’s a nightly detox for your mind, mood, and health. Switch off, sleep in, and let your head do the washing up. | — | ||||||
| 8/6/25 | ![]() Be Inspired | What if rocking the boat was the most responsible thing you could do?This week, Andy wades into the murky waters of leadership clichés - everything from “change starts at the top” to “a leader’s job is to inspire their team” - and gives them a good shake. Spoiler alert… not all boats need steadying… some need sinking.Along the way, you’ll meet mood hoovers (who might secretly be your best problem-solvers), psychedelic sheep, and a surprising case for why you should stop trying to inspire everyone else and focus on staying inspired yourself.It’s leadership advice without the jargon, a little rebellion without the chaos, and a gentle nudge that change doesn’t have to wait for permission - it can start with you, today. | — | ||||||
| 7/30/25 | ![]() The 10 Commandments of Brilliance | What if your culture document was actually useful... and slightly Moses-themed?In this episode, Andy shares the (cardboard) stone tablet that keeps the Art of Brill team pointing in the right direction: ten commandments, one Sharpie each, and zero tolerance for terrible PowerPoints.You’ll hear why “Don’t chase the money” makes sense, why social media isn’t optional (even if you hate it), and how a well-timed hobnob reference can still teach you something about leadership.Tune in for commandments, common sense, and a behind-the-scenes peek at the not-so-secret sauce behind 20 years of brilliant training. | — | ||||||
| 7/23/25 | ![]() Relational Energy | What if the most powerful leadership tool… was actually just caring?In this episode, Andy goes all in on relational energy, Mr. Nobody, and a Gallup survey that boils leadership down to one beautifully simple idea: someone at work seems to care about me as a person.You’ll hear about ADHD envy, toe-curling book signings, a tragic Mr. Men story, and how the workforce from hell might just be a side effect of confusing “satisfaction” with “engagement.”Tune in for spreadsheets, superpowers, and one crucial question that could change your culture by Monday morning. | — | ||||||
| 7/16/25 | ![]() Toxic Beliefs | What if some of your most ‘motivational’ mantras... are total rubbish?In this episode, Andy dusts off some lockdown-era thinking and takes a flamethrower to four of the biggest clichés in personal development: YOLO, fitting in, SMART goals, and “if at first you don’t succeed...”You’ll hear why trying is overrated, why mediocrity is sneaky, and why standing out (for the right reasons) beats blending in every time.Tune in for dancing un-danced, Lego never built, and a gentle nudge to live like your 4,000 weeks actually matter - starting now. | — | ||||||
| 7/9/25 | ![]() LEGO for life | What if the secret to life was hiding in a toy box?In this episode, Andy reads a chapter from Brill Kid - The Big Number Two. One of his children's books that might just contain some of the best life advice you’ve never heard.It’s playful, daft, and surprisingly profound. Because it turns out Lego isn’t just Danish, dangerous underfoot, and oddly emotional - it’s a metaphor for how to live well, rebuild after setbacks, and keep playing, even when the instructions don’t make sense.Tune in for rogue bricks, joyful nonsense, and a reminder that whether you’re 8 or 58, life’s a game best played with curiosity, creativity... and maybe a bucket of spare pieces. | — | ||||||
| 7/2/25 | ![]() Miss Cleverclogs | What if you’re so busy managing the symptoms... when you should be fixing the roof?In this episode, Andy shares a few famous last words (spoiler: Elvis died doing exactly what he said he was going to do), before rolling into a parable that didn’t make the book - but might just make your brain go “Oof.”It’s the tale of Miss Cleverclogs, Ralph, and a leaking maths classroom. A ridiculous story, yes. But also... not. Because it’s a metaphor for how we handle mental health - more buckets, more apps, more busyness. Still dripping.Tune in for irony, weather warnings, and a reminder that the bravest thing you can do sometimes is climb up and fix the actual flipping roof. | — | ||||||
| 6/25/25 | ![]() The Greatest Leader | What if the best leader in the world wore a hard hat and hung out with a cement mixer called Dizzy?In this episode, Andy ditches the usual leadership clichés and goes all in on the unexpected hero of the working world... Bob the Builder.You’ll hear why happiness isn’t something you choose (but positivity is), how leadership isn’t about Mandela quotes or motivational posters, and why the attitude you carry is your most powerful tool - whether you’re laying bricks or leading teams.Tune in for awkward conference icebreakers, a rant about grinogogs, and seven words that could quietly change your leadership forever... Can we fix it? Yes, we can. | — | ||||||
| 6/18/25 | ![]() Cobweb man | What if the toughest guy in the room taught you the softest lesson?In this episode, Andy shares a story he hasn’t dared tell in years - about a nightclub bouncer with a cobweb tattoo, a grudge seven years deep, and one phone call that changed everything.It’s about forgiveness, hand grenades (metaphorically), and why carrying a grudge is like getting punched in the face... by yourself.Tune in for a quiet gut-punch of humanity, a room full of tearful bouncers, and a reminder that moving on isn’t weakness - it’s wisdom. | — | ||||||
| 6/11/25 | ![]() Marginal gains | What if being in the top 10% still means you're only 50% there?In this episode, Andy ditches the deep philosophy and jumps back into something simpler (and sneakily brilliant): what it really takes to move from “good” to “wow.”You’ll hear about football academies, pelotons, celebrity keynotes, and why your real superpower might just be washing your hands properly.Tune in for Olympic strategies, small tweaks, and the seven words that could quietly nudge you into the top 1% - in work, life, and even your next staffroom brew. | — | ||||||
| 6/4/25 | ![]() The Experiencer | You are not who you think you are.In this episode, Andy takes a deep breath and heads straight into the philosophical deep end -mixing ants, airplane engines, and Tesco epiphanies in a bold attempt to answer the biggest question of all… who (or what) are we, really?Inspired by Rupert Spira, road rage, and a misbehaving mind, Andy explores the idea that you’re not your story, your stress, or your Spotify algorithm… you’re the awareness underneath it all.Tune in for thought loops, sideways logic, and a slightly dizzying but surprisingly comforting reminder that you are the universe, experiencing itself. So be a nice universe. | — | ||||||
