The Sovereign Guide
Navigating Cycles, Avoiding Hippos, and Inviting Curiosity.
Where most people see randomness and uncertainty; Alastair looks for the cycle. Most people want a life without problems; Alastair is seeking a life of new and more interesting problems.
The Sovereign Guide is a podcast for the entrepreneurs, ronins and seekers who are tired of recycled, regurgitated, advice masquerading as “wisdom.” Drawing from a life story that spans from the Zimbabwean Civil War to the depths of the American financial crisis, Alastair explores the magic and power of expanded horizons, alternative perspectives, contrarian approaches and a life spent chasing what truly interests you.
This isn’t a show about “tips and tricks.” It’s about intellectual dynamism and courage to seek out the uncertainty that so many fear.
Curiosity, work ethic and gratitude, have gifted him a life of incredible richness and remarkable adventure. He wishes the same for you – it’s the reason he’s doing this. (Ask him about the time he washed up, with little food and no means of communicating, on an island that turned out to be a leper colony.)
