Note sull'episodio

Every great design journey begins with individual clarity and the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai. This episode examines the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, what you can be paid for, and what the world actually needs. We discuss how professional burnout often stems from an imbalance in these four circles and how to realign them for true fulfillment. Learn how starting with your personal "Why" creates the necessary foundation for leading yourself and, eventually, leading an entire industry.
