In short: Many leaders suggest prioritizing purpose over salary, but rising living costs make this advice feel impractical. This lecture by Professor Alex Edmans offers a practical framework to help you identify your purpose and pursue a career that provides both intrinsic and financial rewards.

Professor Alex Edmans, the Mercers' School Memorial Professor of Business, addresses the tension between finding meaning and maintaining financial stability. While many find it difficult to define a personal purpose, and often view lucrative roles as lacking significance, this session explores how to bridge that gap. The discussion provides a framework for navigating the complexities of modern professional life, where rising living costs often clash with the desire for meaningful work.
