In this conversation, Kostapanos shares why clarity comes from action (not analysis), how to know when to let go of something you've built so it can grow bigger, and why the sooner you remove yourself from a solution, the more impact it can have. 

You'll also hear his framework for focusing on lead indicators (what you control) versus lag indicators (outcomes), and how he thinks about curating an inner circle that lets you be your full self.

**Ready to love your Mondays? Buy 'Work That's Worth It' now - Amazon, B&N, Bookshop.org. OR, need more convincing? Get the first chapters FREE here.**  
 

Nishant shares his practical three-question framework for evaluating career opportunities: Does it have a real mission beyond profit? Will I learn from top talent while adding value? Will I be fairly compensated?  

He reveals how corporate impact professionals navigate daily tensions between profit and purpose, including prioritizing free disaster-relief products over paying customers. 

Key insights include how to distinguish authentic impact companies from those doing "impact washing," why financial skills amplify social change effectiveness, and how established corporations can create systemic change that benefits communities, farmers, and customers simultaneously.

Listen in to an impressive pivot story from Matt Foulsham, who describes his dramatic career change as "the natural progression that I was always going to be." But how does someone go from engineering to safari guiding and feel like it was inevitable? 

**Ready to love your Mondays? Buy 'Work That's Worth It' now - Amazon, B&N, Bookshop.org. OR, need more convincing? Get the first chapters FREE here.**    

It started when Matt was sitting in a gray UK office during COVID lockdown, successful in his chemical engineering career, when a single question from a friend completely derailed his carefully planned, ambitious trajectory. 

Despite having what most would consider a "good job," something felt off. An offhand comment during a safari trip sparked a radical reimagining of his future. 

In this episode, Matt reveals the story of his career pivot and the surprisingly practical steps he took to test whether his romanticized vision of safari guiding could become reality. You'll hear about his intense year-long training—including walking alone for miles through the African bush each day, staying constantly alert to avoid lions and leopards. He explains why he describes his current work as a "privilege" rather than just a paycheck. 

 You'll discover how he navigated this life-changing decision and what it really takes to become comfortable being a beginner again in your late twenties.
