Brian Rose – The Evolution of London Real

Get to know London Real and the journey like you’ve never known them before.

Where did we begin? And where are we going?

Olive is a contributing member of the Academy, mentored by Brian himself. So prepare to get into Brian’s head like never before.

London Real now boasts 250k subscribers with content watched clocking at over 6 million minutes a month. How did we get there? Brian bares all in this epic show.
