Julia shares her journey to co-founding the School for Moral Ambition, and aligning her career with her values. Their discussion explores how to balance personal life with meaningful work and how to inspire others toward effective giving.10% Pledge: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/pledgeTrial Pledge: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/get-involved/trial-pledgeComparing charities (100x multiplier): https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/charity-comparisonsThe School for Moral Ambition:  https://www.moralambition.org/Moral Ambition Community: https://www.moralambition.org/communityProfit for Good: https://www.moralambition.org/profit-for-good Keep up to date with Peter on SubstackKeep up to date with Kasia!Executive Producer: Rachel BarrettThanks to our volunteer researcher Chris van Ryn!
