Summary
Julia & Sjir are dedicated to making a global impact. Sjir describes how a 2015 TED Talk by Peter on effective altruism inspired his involvement with organisations like Giving What We Can, which promotes effective philanthropy. 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/pledge Trial Pledge: https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/get-involved/trial-pledge Comparing charities (100x multiplier): https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/charity-comparisons The School for Moral Ambition: https://www.moralambition.org/ Moral Ambition Community: https://www.moralambition.org/community Profit for Good: https://www.moralambition.org/profit-for-good Keep up to date with Peter on Substack Keep up to date with Kasia!
