The Sovereign GuideAuthor: Alastair Macdonald
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 isnt a show about tips and tricks. Its 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 its the reason hes 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.)Website: www.sovereigndentist.comPrivate Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thesovereignguide/ Language: en-us Genres: Business, Entrepreneurship Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Episode 69: Conflict - A Forensic Exercise
Thursday, 23 July, 2026
Every argument is a forensic exercise - a backward-looking attempt to assign blame and prove moral superiority. While that feels good in the short-term, it destroys the trust, openness, and culture needed for long-term relationships and teams. An example of what happens when we look through the filter of delta-zero (win-now) over delta-one (long-term) thinking instincts, and make this one shift when conflict arises.We'd love to hear from you.
