About Michael's Mission

Do you ever look at the world and wonder whether life was better in times gone by? Perhaps we've moved on for the better in some ways, perhaps not in others... I'm Michael Alford, a creative entrepreneur inspired by the timeless values that built civilisations across the globe and sustained them or millennia. I believe that the solutions to some of our most pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges lies in a rediscovery and revival of the tried and tested principles held and refined by centuries of people and communities, and I'm on a mission to build a brighter future by learning rom the past. Michael's Mission is the podcast where we explore what constitutes human wellbeing, what our communities should look like to foster human wellbeing, and how each of us, no matter our background or circumstances, can play a role in making it happen. insights.mjalford.online

An Introduction

Do you ever find yourself wondering what any of us as individuals can do to help solve some of the world's most pressing social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental challenges? Is a blinkered focus on progress in all fields of human endeavour the only way forward, or might there be some wisdom in the principles, ideals, and values of past generations that might offer more effective and sustainable solutions to today's challenges? I'm Michael Alford, a South African born, UK based photographer, urbanist, and entrepreneur on a mission to educate, empower, and inspire people to take whatever part they can in initiating and supporting solutions to improve the places we live and work in, inspired by the transcendent values that built civilisations across the globe and sustained them for millennia. In this first episode of my multimedia blog and podcast, Michael's Mission, I discuss more of my backstory, how it shaped my mission and desired personal brand, and how I'm taking it forward.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
