Many of us dream of the perfect job. For many modern idealists, it is often a job that brings a positive impact and progression to society, it requires our talent and skills, and it rewards us with competitive pay and career growth potential. Is it too good to be true? We explore Ikigai, a Japanese concept known as the synergy between doing what you love, what the world needs, what you are good at, and what can you be paid for. This way of life encompasses "your reason of being" and the collective small sums of joy that bring happiness in your everyday life. Listen in on our discussion about our Ikigai - its beauty and its obstacles, and how we help each other on the journey to realizing our own Ikigai.. and making a career of it.
