We had the pleasure of chatting with Jessica Marati Radparvar, an entrepreneur and sustainable business strategist on a mission to help impact leaders drive bigger, bolder, and more sustainable change. Over the past decade, Jessica has approached the impact space from a number of different perspectives — as a journalist, as an entrepreneur, as an academic, in-house at a Fortune 300 company and now as the Founder of Reconsidered, an impact strategy and communications studio.

 

In this podcast episode, learn about how Jessica navigated her diverse career experiences, and how a social enterprise research stint in Cambodia shaped her career in social impact and sustainability. Jessica is an advocate for career breaks and professional exploration as a way to "connect the dots" in one's social impact journey, and emphasizes the importance of cultivating soft skills and understanding your boundaries as key skills to succeed in the impact and sustainability space.
