from b. frank Podcast · host Firuze Cisem Odabasi

We've been taught to think about careers as an individual journey: climb the ladder, make your mark, change the world on your own. But what if that's the wrong framework?Ming Zee is an environmental lawyer at a global law firm and co-founder of Legal Voices for the Future, a collaborative learning forum for young lawyers on the climate crisis. She's proof that you don't have to quit your corporate job to build something meaningful.She reminded me: "Your life is so short, you can't influence things globally. You just have to do a little bit and find your community."Listen to this episode for:→ Balancing corporate work with climate activism→ Why ego gets in the way of meaningful work→ A quote that shifted her perspective about impact→ Why local, intimate action matters more than we think. This isn't a "quit your job and follow your passion" podcast; it's about finding your people and doing what you can with what's around you. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to have some massive career impact, this one's for you.Connect with Ming Zee Legal Voices for the Future: https://legalvoicesforthefuture.com/Drop your thoughts in the comments or find me on instagram:  ⁨@b.frankpodcast⁩
