SEASON 3, EPISODE 8
What if knowing isn’t something you prove—but something you practice?
And what if the clarity you’re searching for comes not from certainty, but from curiosity, courage, and the lived intelligence of experience?
In this revelatory episode of ILA Radio, host Laura Alyn sits down with Albert Bramante Ph.D. to explore the unexpected intersections between academia, the entertainment industry, and lifelong learning.
Together, they trace Albert’s journey from bookish kid to deep researcher to someone who has moved fluidly between the classroom and the creative world. They explore why “trusting the research” requires more than data, how the entertainment industry shaped his understanding of people, and why true learning never ends—even after a so-called “terminal degree.” Albert reflects on curiosity as a superpower, the value of daydreaming, and the importance of gathering knowledge from every corner of life.
If you’ve ever wondered how to reconcile your intellectual side with your creative life or whether you’re allowed to keep changing, learning, and expanding, this episode will feel like coming home.
Tune in and discover how your own curiosity, experience, and inner researcher are already showing you the way.
