If you’ve ever questioned whether your career is truly fulfilling—or fear you’re wasting your potential—this episode with Georgi Enthoven will change how you see the 90,000 hours you spend working in your lifetime.

In this episode, I’m joined by Georgi Enthoven, a globally-minded thought leader, author, and host of the Work That’s Worth It podcast. A Harvard Business School graduate with a corporate career spanning multiple continents, Georgi now helps others align their careers with both income and impact. Her book, Work That’s Worth It, guides professionals in using their 90,000 working hours wisely—by identifying strengths, defining a personal mission, and pursuing work that’s both fulfilling and purposeful. Through coaching, storytelling, and speaking, she champions the idea that meaningful work and doing good in the world don’t require self-sacrifice. Passionate about mentoring the next generation, she shines a light on real-world “disruptors for good.”

Throughout this episode, Georgi shares her practical framework for building a purpose-driven career. She introduces the powerful concept of the 90,000-hour work life and outlines the “7 Cs” in her book, starting with knowing your capabilities—an essential foundation for fulfillment. She encourages listeners to define their personal mission, beginning with one word that reflects the impact they want to make. Georgi also critiques how education and career systems overlook the importance of purpose, and she’s on a mission to help more people, especially young professionals, connect income with impact. Her insights and examples prove that sustainable, meaningful work isn’t a dream—it’s already a reality for many.
