Julian combines a career as a Partner at McKinsey & Company with his role as an Associate Professor at Roskilde University. At McKinsey, he co-leads the firm’s public sector work in Europe, focusing on people and organisational performance, while his academic research centres on the circular economy. He ranks among the most highly cited circular economy scholars worldwide. He earned his PhD from St Antony’s College, University of Oxford, and is the author of The Lean PhD: Radically Improve the Efficiency, Quality and Impact of Your Research.\nIn this conversation, we explore curiosity, autonomy, and the value of diverse experiences. Julian also discusses caring too much about external demands, and how this can undermine autonomy, meaning, and impact. \nThis episode will resonate with anyone carving out their own path and explores what it can take to make your own impact.\nFor more of Julian's work:\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-kirchherr-42a52032/\nFor more from Mark McCartney:\nNewsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/\nWebsite: https://www.mmcleadership.com/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney\n00:00 Curiosity Over One Question \n02:35 Bullshit In Academia\n07:23 Autonomy And Freedom \n09:01 Disillusion With Academia \n12:18 Early Intellectual Influences \n14:55 Myanmar And Outsized Impact \n19:59 Pre-Academia Model\n26:12 Energy From Dual Roles \n30:02 Bias Toward Action \n42:50 Bridging Knowledge And Practice \n46:51 What is a good life for Julian? \nKeywords: Meaning of Life Interviews | meaning of life conversations | exploring life | big life questions | meaning of life discussions | creating a meaningful life​","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
