About this listen

 "We are humans first and professionals second." Meet Amelia Schaffner, an innovative thinker who leads entrepreneurship efforts at Emory through the Goizueta Business School. She is an Italian native, born in Switzerland and brought up by the Mediterranean. Amelia is a deep and authentic individual who loves reflecting and finding meaning in the minute mundaneness of life. Her interests intersect at the crossroads of Greek mythology, ancient civilizations, Eastern traditions, photography, adventure, and entrepreneurship. She believes that our professions do not define us and yearns to understand the philosophical significance of being human. Our conversation helped me pause and appreciate the micro in our lives more, and how we can start paying attention to this absolute phenomenon we call life. If you want to reconnect with that curious child within you who exclaims a genuine "awe" at the tiny bugs or the blades of grass in the backyard, this is the episode for you!
