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 45 - Conversation with Cincinnati Entrepreneur and Promoter Vernon Jackson
My guest on this episode of the Sage Warrior Gentleman podcast is Vernon Jackson.
Vernon for years dominated the open mic scene becoming the most sought after promoter for the underground poetry scene by businesses such as Toyota and P&G, and colleges such as Miami University, Xavier, NKU, and the University of Cincinnati. Fraternities and sororities seek his expertise and extensive network to put on memorable events.
As a poet Vernon is inspirational, positive, seductive, and calming with a style all his own. His poems address his spiritual maturity, relationships, betrayal, love, seduction, and life's lessons.
He's referred to as " the insurance policy" or the "one stop shop" because of his ability to seamlessly book, manage, and professionally host events that consistently please the organizations and audiences, always leaving them excited and wanting more.
As the owner of Noble Barber and Beauty, he's been a grooming professional in Cincinnati, Ohio for 15 years, specializing in barbering techniques. His reputation of being efficient, consistent, creative and punctual has earned him the honor of being one of the most sought after hair cutting professionals in the Midwest. He's the personal barber to many of Cincinnati’s sports and entertainment elite and also has a list of celebrity clients that include rap artists Fabolous and Big Sean, and R & B singer, Nokio of Dru Hill.
In addition to serving these high profile clients, Vernon has made a commitment to serve the community through volunteerism, mentorship and serving the unseen with his talents.
Vernon’s newest endeavor is the title author, which has again turned him into a household name. He is the author of "Looking Glass: A mans Reflections Within the Scope of Dating and Relationships". His book has touched the hearts and given a healthy perspective to thousands and still counting. His focus is now on the strengthening of the relationship, first with ourselves then with each other.
So please welcome my guest and new friend, Vernon Jackson.
