#113 Alex Barker - How To Be More Pirate
Alex talks about her journey to becoming more pirate!
We talk about:
- Having childhood dreams of exploration.
- Her initial scepticism of Be More Pirate, but this benefitting the movement.
- And how her first book was a little bit shit.
Alex is a speaker, facilitator, writer and community builder. And a Pirate Captain.
She joined Sam in 2019 to give life to Be More Pirate as something beyond a book. Before piracy she was Communications Manager at the RSA (Royal Society of Arts), and has spent a decade or so in the non-profit sector building networks and supporting social entrepreneurs. Alex leads the network and would like nothing more than to see a less conventional approach to social change take root.
In September 2020 Alex and Sam’s new book How to: Be More Pirate was published – an update on the original which dives much deeper into how to effectively rebel & rewrite ‘the rules’.
