  • Great podcast…learn’t something new.

    A friend recommended I listen to this podcast, I’ve got to podcast 3 and felt it was important to give a positive review. I’m new to the world of Ikigai, and it’s fascinating to explore what Ikigai means to the Japanese. Episode 2 was enlightening. I’ve got a few more to listen to, and I’m looking forward to learning more.
