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 39 - Interview with Columbus Philanthropist and Entrepreneur Will Alston
Will and I currently work together for a large banking corporation and it became evident very quickly to me that this was a guy I wanted to interview for you for this podcast. He and his partners are responsible for more than a few of the installations and murals you see around Columbus and he's tireless in pursuing new ideas and ways to help further his community.
Will Alston joined JP Morgan Chase in 2020 coming from over 20 years of service in the Digital industry. He is always seeking to deliver the “Most Valued Experiences Possible” for customers.
Will has a mindset of an entrepreneur whether running a startup or as a corporate leader. He has partnered and founded several companies over the years including a tech-based networking group, web technology firm, and a marketing advertising agency. Will has also traversed a rich corporate history for creating better experiences with top companies in retail, finance, banking, and insurance such as LBrands, Victoria’s Secret, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Nationwide and Chase.
His community involvement in addressing educational gaps and fighting poverty is expressed by donating time, resources, and thought leadership with non-profits such as United Way and Columbus Metropolitan Library.
Will enjoys travel, design, and crafting. He lives in Gahanna, OH and is husband to his beautiful wife Monique, a “girl dad” to an amazingly sporty daughter Mackenzie, and is a best friend to their dog Gucci.
Enjoy,
Jeff
