Leading a Movement of Pirates to Break the Rules - S2 EP 15 - Alex Barker
Increasingly we’re becoming weary of the societal norms being imposed on us. Many of us dream of being catalysts for change but often think that we can’t make much of a difference by ourselves.
We dream of running away or updating antiquated systems and with our current reality, it’s hard to deny that there are serious changes happening all around us.
What can we learn from history to help us be change makers? Where can we find inspiration to break rules for the better and get unrestricted from the toxic norms that are pervasive in our modern day culture?
My next guest has been leading a revolution, rooted in the history of pirates. By looking towards some of the most famous revolutionaries for inspiration, she’s been at the forefront of enabling people to Be More Pirate.
This way of thinking has inspired many to take on the system and become professional rule breakers. What can we learn from harnessing our inner pirate?
Join me on this episode with Captain of Be More Pirate, Alex Barker, as we talk about how you can start a revolution, even if just one person, by taking inspiration from the golden age of piracy.
