She talks about embracing adventure, playing to your strengths, loving your work, and the importance of contributing to what you care about to remain optimistic in the face of a tumultuous world.\nGiven both our proclivities for jumping continents and careers at various points in life, I took a lot of inspiration from her story, and success, of backing herself and going her own way - as I’m sure you will too.\nSubscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for daily clips and weekly reflections.\nRunning Order: \n01:08 Podcast begins\n02:30 Stories versus Facts\n06:09 What does it take for society's values to shift?\n07:40 Optimism for humans?\n12:30 Playing to your strengths / contributing to what you care about\n15:10 Curiosity & Humility\n19:50 Not having a long term plan\n23:50 Trust and developing a sense of self\n26:07 I know who I am / what I want\n27:50 The power of humility & experimenting\n33:40 Loving your work\n37:20 Being yourself in a world telling you to be something else\n40:55 Summary of themes in the conversation\n43:22 What is a good life for Alison?\nFor further content and information check out the following: \n- For the podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos\n- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/\n- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/\n- Alison's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/followalisont/\nKeywords: Meaning of Life Interviews | meaning of 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}
