My only complaint is that this podcast wasn’t around when I graduated with my Anthropology degree! Thank you for bringing together such an inspiring, eclectic mix of anthropologists and industry leaders to discuss their own personal career journeys and lessons learned. Listening to your podcast is already helping me to better articulate my own professional value as an anthropologist working in a business context. I cant wait to see who we hear from next!
