Why I Left Finance to Start a Shrimp Charity | Andrés Jiménez Zorrilla

This is a crosspost of my interview.

It was a pleasure to interview Andrés. We talk about his life, what led him to create the Shrimp Welfare Project, effective altruism, shrimp suffering in farms, whether shrimps are sentient, career choice, working in finance, what it was like behind the scenes of the Daily Show (watch the video below) and many more topics, I’m sure many will find intriguing. 🦐

Disclaimer:

1. Andrés left the Shrimp Welfare Project is 2024 - he is not speaking as a representative here
2. I received funding for a teaching buy-out from the Shrimp Welfare Project to support the writing of my book on shrimps
