As I hinted at before, I am not a fan of the earning ro give concept and I much prefer an “earn and give” framing that recognizes that your income serves multiple purposes. Having said that, I do think that effective giving has a much larger role to play than it has today.
Striving for The Most Impactful Career is great when it works but extremely frustrating when it doesn’t. Adding giving to the equation expands your space of possibilities dramatically.
As for starting for-profit startups, it is definitely an interesting option. I think the main considerations are the ones applicable to anyone contemplating entrepreneurship: the odds are against you and building something from scratch can be extremely hard, so you should only do it if you REALLY want to do it—often for hard to explain reasons.
