概要

Hi, I'm Professor Nikki James. I am an Assistant Teaching Professor of Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Northeastern University's D'Amore McKim School of Business in Boston, USA. I am a Bostonian by choice but an Aussie by blood and consider myself a citizen of the world. I love inviting friends from the field into my classroom to share their stories, career journeys, and hard-earned wisdom with my students. But, many of them are not in Boston, so this podcast is my way of sharing the stories of my amazing friends and colleagues doing fantastic work and living extraordinary lives all over the world. I hope these stories inspire you and provide practical wisdom and guidance for navigating this crazy thing called life.

  • How to pivot your purpose with Mark Tipple
    2026/02/11

    In this episode of the Responsable podcast, I dive deep into the second half of my captivating conversation with Mark Tipple, as we explore the evolution of our journeys from youthful uncertainty to the more refined paths we've crafted in our early 30s. Picking up from our previous discussion, we reflect on transformational experiences, starting with our memorable trip to Tanzania right around my 30th birthday. During this adventure, we aimed for impactful storytelling through visuals, realizing that our ambitions were continuously challenged by the unpredictable nature of life.

    Our discussion leads us through a series of photographs that capture moments from our travels, including projects where our mutual involvement sparked significant change. Mark shares his poignant recollections from Tanzania, where he witnessed the resilience of children working hard to reclaim their education amidst adversity. This profound experience propelled him to rethink his career trajectory, ultimately influencing his decision to venture into education technology to push for broader accessibility in learning.

    We delve into the emotional burden Mark felt when his vast body of work received little traction back home, sharing the raw vulnerability of wanting to honor the stories of those he captured through photography. This turning point ignited the idea of pursuing fine art prints to exhibit their experiences that would not only raise awareness but also generate funds for the organizations supporting these communities.

    As the conversation progresses, we touch on various projects, including the inception of the Gallery for Justice, imagined through my encouragement during a time when Mark was grappling with self-doubt. We explore our individual philosophies, particularly how being a connector—someone who enables others to transform ideas into reality—has defined our roles professionally and personally. Mark recounts how he balances being a father while revisiting his creative pursuits, illustrating the beauty of adaptability in life stages.

    The dialogue eloquently encapsulates the essence of mentorship, collaboration, and the understanding that professional shifts do not equate to being lost, but rather evolving with purpose. Mark emphasizes that each chapter we write in our lives does not erase the past but enriches the tapestry of our identities. Our candid reflections about support systems and community highlight the intrinsic value of human connection in an increasingly digitized world, suggesting that our shared experiences remind us of the importance of flexibility and perseverance.

    As we wrap up this enthralling exchange, the narrative circles back to the central principle of finding one's community and committing to shared journeys. Through laughter and honesty, we draw insights for listeners who are navigating their own paths—encouraging an openness to seize opportunities, learn from varied experiences, and embrace the beautiful messiness of life. Ultimately, our hope is to inspire others to forge their own routes, reminding them that adaptability and connection are keys to thriving in an uncertain world.

    Mark Tipple is a father, documentary filmmaker, photographer, teacher, and storyteller. Over the last 25 years, he has grappled with finding his niche, balancing pursuing his pursuit of purpose, healing from his past, and telling some pretty incredible stories about people and causes he cares deeply about.

    My life and work collided with Mark's in 2008, and my life has been richer for it. In this episode, we have a conversation about how we met, confront the reality of the imposter syndrome we both experienced in our 20s, and share some of the early projects we worked on together.

    I also get a little lesson on how to be a better podcast interviewer along the way.

    We hope you enjoy this episode and come back next week for Part 2 of the conversation. Until then, if you want to learn more about Mark Tipple's work, please check out his website marktipple.com
