In this episode of the podcast, Britt Bravo discusses two questions with Echoing Green Vice President, Lara Galinsky.  In the first question, a listener with a background as a television producer asks how to build a career in storytelling for social change.  In the second question, a listener asks if it's okay to pursue a career with social impact despite less than altruistic motives.

Lara Galinsky of Echoing Green answers listener questions about creating meaningful careers.  Britt Bravo hosts the show.

Q1. I know what I want to do to change the world. I know my goals, and I know my projects.  But I haven't yet found a job title that allows me to work towards these goals. What are the risks versus rewards for going it alone, raising what funds you can to reach your goals, in the absence of any backing whatsoever?

Q2. I've been in the IT and Software Industry for almost 30 years.  During the next couple years I am planning to transition to a career where I will help (or coach) people to create a career with impact.  I have been working with a few clients already during the last 12 months.

One of the biggest challenges that people have who I have coached is to let go of the old, well paying and familiar job.  The reasons are the financial risk and the fear of starting at the bottom again in a new field after a successful career.  How can I help people with those two issues?
