About this listen

Hi, I'm Professor Nikki James. I am an Assistant Teaching Professor of Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Northeastern University's D'Amore McKim School of Business in Boston, USA. I am a Bostonian by choice but an Aussie by blood and consider myself a citizen of the world. I love inviting friends from the field into my classroom to share their stories, career journeys, and hard-earned wisdom with my students. But, many of them are not in Boston, so this podcast is my way of sharing the stories of my amazing friends and colleagues doing fantastic work and living extraordinary lives all over the world. I hope these stories inspire you and provide practical wisdom and guidance for navigating this crazy thing called life.
