Meet Al and Bilos
We bring different histories, plenty of questions and a willingness to laugh at ourselves. Together, we host Live Into Your Brilliance—the podcast and retreats where we get curious with others about being human.
What draws us into these conversations is the brilliance available in everyone. Uniquely yours. There’s no common path we’re trying to get you to walk.
We worked together at Mimecast for ten years, with Mark leading in the US and Al in Europe. As senior leaders, we helped build the business from startup to Nasdaq listing. We loved pursuing big-ass goals and figuring out how to bring the best out of ourselves and others.
As the business grew, so did our questions. About ambition, relationships and who we were becoming along the way. Getting results didn’t always mean we were showing up as the people we wanted to be.
When Al left and began his own journey into coaching and self-discovery, those conversations continued. We shared what we were learning, questioned it together and explored it through challenges in our own lives.
Over time, that became Live Into Your Brilliance. A friendship and a shared exploration of what’s available within us—and what becomes possible when we begin to see it for ourselves.
An Irish farmer’s son who made his home in the UK. Husband to Sian, father to Finley and Dylan, mountain adventurer, padel player and deeply curious about human beings.
Since 2018, I’ve been coaching people through the questions, ambitions and uncertainties that matter to them. I’m curious about what helps us see something new—and I’m continuing to discover that in my own life too.
I’m a self-confessed fruit salad of a human being.
I was born in South Africa, and life has taken me through the UK to Boston. I’m husband to Van and father to Gracie and Mads. Along the way, I’ve been an actor, worked for the British Library and earned a doctorate in African history.
Different worlds, different experiences and a continuing curiosity about what it means to be human. I bring all of that into our conversations, with warmth, playfulness and a willingness to see what we discover together.
For us, this is a lifelong commitment to exploring what it means to be human. To be yourself, trust yourself and walk your own path because it’s what you’re drawn to do.
We’re committed to making space for that in our own lives, and creating space for others to explore it too.
The world will keep changing. None of us knows what happens next. There is still room to trust yourself, create and live into a brilliance that is uniquely yours.
