Ben Todd is the CEO and founder of 80,000 Hours, and helped to start the effective altruism movement.

In our interview, we discuss:

The first half introduces 80,000 Hours and the ethical importance of career choice, but if you're familiar with that you might want to skip to ≈ the second half using the chapter markers.

The page this post links to also contains quotes from the interview, links, and further reading.

I'm posting this in case anyone wanted to share their thoughts on the topics covered in this episode. This is in the spirit of MichaelA's suggestion of posting all EA-relevant content here on the forum. Cheers!
