Surrounded by Brilliance

The Surrounded by Brilliance Podcast was created to bring together like minded people who don’t get offended by much and who are annoyed by most things. This is a podcast where humor, levity, and some serious discussion will give you a glimpse into the inner working of my brain, a self-proclaimed “Get off My Lawn Guy”. You’ll hear funny stories, stupid concepts, and a whole lot more from some really interesting people, and probably some not so interesting people.

Most people listen to podcasts to get smarter and learn something, it’s likely you’ll learn a few things here, but it’s questionable as to whether you’ll get smarter.
