Accidentally Brilliant is a Be Broadcast original podcast that explores one big question: How did you get into what you do? Most of us don’t follow a neat career plan - we stumble into opportunities, discover strengths we never expected, and build lives around solving problems in surprising ways. Host Josh Wheeler shares open, personal conversations with leaders and creatives from PR, media, and beyond. From chance encounters to career-defining pivots, each episode reveals the quirks, challenges, and lightbulb moments that shape extraordinary careers. No jargon. No script. Just honest stories that are as funny as they are useful.
