Alastair Smart: Happiness Through Connection and Curiosity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
My friend and mentor, Alastair Smart, is someone who truly embodies what it means to live a full and happy life.
Born and raised in England, he began his career as a police officer before following a path that eventually brought him to Canada. Along the way, he embraced a wide range of experiences - from driving taxis to managing retail stores - each shaping his perspective on people, work, and community.
That journey ultimately led him to Calgary, where he became the first salesperson for Big Rock Brewery, helping build one of Canada’s pioneering craft beer brands. Beyond his career, Alastair is known as a mentor and connector - someone who has helped foster a culture of generosity and collaboration across an entire industry.
Alastair’s story is one of curiosity, resilience, and leading with kindness.
