In our latest episode, Alistair sits down with Nicolas Branas Michaelsen — ex-VC turned architect of the Wisdom Economy — to rethink what capital, learning, and civilization design look like beyond mechanistic thinking.


Nicolas unpacks the pivotal awakenings that pulled him from venture exits into ecological consciousness, developmental practice, and community-based transformation. Together, they explore why impact investing fails without inner work, why wisdom—not capital—is the next frontier, and how deliberately developmental spaces could become global monasteries for a post-capitalist world.


If you're building the future of learning, community, and meaningful work in the age of AI — this one will expand your mental map.
