TOP 5 MOST POPULAR EPISODES OF "FULL EXPOSURE WITH BRIAN KELLY" OF 2019
Full Exposure with Brian Kelly is celebrating our ONE YEAR anniversary during the month of March. It was an incredible year. Our audience has grown a ton since since we started. I thought I would share the most listened to episodes of 2019...with a quick description and links so you can check them out if you missed them:
1. Brian Vander Ark of The Verve Pipe: Our "Freshman" year on the podcast had BVA racking up the most streams in 2019. Brian was also our very first guest and is my good friend. We discussed the craft of songwriting, his career with The Verve Pipe as well as a successful solo artist. Plus, watch the video we shot of his incredible acoustic performance in my studio of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

2. Kent Dobson - Pastor and Author: Okay, so this episode's popularity is the one that surprises me the most. I absolutely knew that Kent would be a great conversation, but I wasn't sure how faith based subject matter would land with all of you. But this former pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville resonated with you guys BIG TIME as he openly discussed his own vulnerabilities, doubts and has a lot to say about the nature of God and spirituality.

3. Ansley Gulielmi - Super Model: Ansley's modeling career is red hot at just 20 years old. This graduate of Forest Hills Northern in Grand Rapids has been living in New York full-time for the last 4 years. She's EVERYWHERE as the face of many Vogue covers shot all around the world, as well as advertising campaigns by Givenchy, Versace, Zara, Jil Sander, Roberto Cavalli, etc, etc. Ansley candidly shared the intense pressures of the modeling industry, how she keeps her head on straight and her ambitious goals for the future. Plus, we had the most casual and fun photo shoot in my studio so check out the portraits I shot and all of her video excerpts.

4. Graci Harkema - Graci LLC: I think it's safe to say that Founders Brewing Company had one HELL of a 2019 and Graci Harkema was deep inside the tornado and media storm. This episode was recorded many months before she resigned, so there's no inside gossip here. But I must say, I received THE MOST direct messages from listeners who were blown away by her incredible story of adoption, love, as well as recently reuniting with her birth mother (who was presumed dead her entire life) in The Democratic Republic of Congo. So inspiring...have some tissues handy!

5. Willie The Kid - Rapper & Entrepreneur: This conversation was cracking from the beginning and was one of my favorite episodes of the year. Willie is one of the most focused individuals I've ever met...just talking to him gets you excited and motivated. Willie has turned his music industry success as well as his undying love for Grand Rapids into multiple entrepreneurial efforts here in Grand Rapids including, Motu Viget Spirits, Ambiance GR Kitchen & Lounge, GR USA and whatever else he might have launched this morning! Willie is a mogul and it'll be a blast to see what he does next with his talented team.
