I spoke to my Cathy in Andorra which, if you don't know, is a wonderful little municipality in the Pyrenees. Cathy is the first woman to climb Mount Everest from both sides and is an infatigable adventurer.

She is also a great speaker focusing on team dynamics and leadership as well as stress management, and I can imagine that it is fairly stressful when you are halfway up Mount Everest with a few thousand feet drop below you. Not only would it be stressful but there is likely a great deal of tension between team members. View Guest page

So with all these skills to his bow, excuse the pun, what does Alexander do now? He founded a company called Westgarth Wine Investment Brokers who are located in both Los Angeles and in London. The very sophisticated Westgarth brochure says that wine is not just for the privileged few: but an ideal investment choice for everyday investors looking to diversify their portfolios. If you choose wine you’ll benefit from a proven market that is stable, relatively detached from the mainstream, and consistently shows double-digit returns. What’s more it goes on, wine offers you a great hedge against inflation. I thought I'd get Alexander on the show to tell us how we can all get rich while enjoying a glass of red. View Guest page
