Welcome back to the 8th episode of Power, Wealth or Purpose?! Today’s guest is Fernande Raine. After doing her undergraduate degree in History, Political Science and Law at the University of  Freiburg, she did a PhD in History at Yale University. After stints with McKinsey and Ashoka, to only name a few, she is now CEO of The History Co:Lab.

Fernande approaches life differently from most people - most evident by her reaction to being semi-forgotten in Siberia in her early 20s. From her serendipitous start at McKinsey, to the role that power plays a role in her life today, Fernande has a trough of interesting stories to tell.

In the seventh episode of Power, Wealth or Purpose?! Paul interviews Leon Bader. Leon is an impact investor at 4P Capital and an independent angel investor. He attended the University of Tennessee on a full-ride scholarship as a D1 golfer. 

Leon and Paul discuss how Leon’s sports mentality has impacted the way he approaches his work, how his views of purpose pivoted when he got to university, what the day-to-day of an impact investment associate looks like and whether working hard throughout university and in your first job is worth it considering potential ultimate goals. 

Hopefully, you managed to take something away from Leon’s experience as an athlete and impact investor. Don’t forget to share this with anyone you think might benefit from it. Let us know what you thought of this episode using the Q&A tool or @ [email protected].

Lukas is the perfect person for this conversation because of his experience in the impact sector and his proximity to people who have and make a lot of money.
