The Alchemy Continuum - Built by Wisdom, Guided by Change
The Alchemy Continuum is the evolution of Sage Warrior Gentleman — a rebrand that reflects a broader mission. What began as a project to share wisdom between generations of men has grown into something larger: a space for anyone devoted to living and working with purpose.
Hosted by Jeff Hendrickson, the podcast explores how experience becomes wisdom and how wisdom becomes action. Each episode draws from decades of consulting, coaching, writing, and creative experimentation to help you refine your craft, clarify your direction, and evolve with intention.
This shift to The Alchemy Continuum recognizes that wisdom isn’t bound by gender or age — it’s a shared human practice. The conversations are grounded, reflective, and universal, blending philosophy, design, psychology, and creative insight.
This isn’t about self-improvement. It’s about self-evolution.
For thinkers, creators, and professionals who know growth never ends — welcome to the continuum.

SWG Episode 28 - 5 Minute Philosophy: Intro to African Philosophy
The website has a very brief page on African philosophy so this is a short episode.
African Philosophy is a disputed term, partly because it is not clear if it refers to philosophies with a specifically African theme or context (such as distinctively African perceptions of time, personhood, etc.), or just any philosophizing carried out by Africans (or even people of African descent).
One of the earliest works of political philosophy was the Maxims of the Egyptian official and philosopher Ptah-Hotep as early as the 24th Century B.C. The Egyptian Hellenistic philosopher Plotinus of the 3rd Century B.C. is credited with founding the Neoplatonist school of philosophy.

And as mentioned, I'm going to take just a couple of days off to decide my next route. This wraps up 5 Minute Philosophy and I hope you enjoyed it.
Back soon with another short series and we have two new interviews coming next week as well.
Thanks --- Jeff
