Welcome back to "Power, Wealth or Purpose?" for our second season! In Episode 12, Paul speaks with Matt Liebmann, a tenured professor for Archaeology at Harvard University. After his undergraduate at Boston College, Matt did his PhD at UPenn in Anthropology on the Pueblo Revolt movement by the Native Americans in the 17th century. 

Matt speaks on the fascinating path to his current job and what the concepts external and internal validation meant to him as he moved through different stages of his life. After this interview we have a much more positive view of the life of an academic: Essentially, you’re being paid to do what you love (and teach a little), doesn’t that sound amazing? Who knows, the world might be a little better off if more people did what they actually loved.   

Next week, we’re excited to feature Chris Hoffman, a humanitarian who has spent his life raising millions of dollars in aid for people in need. He gets into very interesting stuff with Oscar, including the current humanitarian crisis in Israel and Gaza.
