Ep #354: Alastair Macdonald – Dropping Fences on Possibility (Part 1)

Would you jump at the chance to hear from someone who has experienced five recessions, one national currency implosion, three global pricing bubbles, the greatest hyperinflation, the largest asset deflation in history, and violent, social, and political upheaval? Join me today to hear part one of a conversation I recently had with Alastair Macdonald at the Freedom Founders Member Event. He is a good friend, mentor, and very thoughtful person who will be sharing some gems about uncertainty, seeking guidance, risk, and group-think.

Listen in to learn how to look at risk and mitigate it by balancing it with new frontiers and new opportunities. Alastair shares his opinion on group-think and the issues involved when you surrender your sovereignty to others. He also teaches us how to change the way we see new opportunities ahead and why it’s so important to take the time to disconnect from the news and noise out there.
