Elena Brand chose to embrace the Japanese concept of Ikigai to inspire a career ‘shift' … This was not going to be a full blown change … but more of a re-framing of her existing passions to guide her life's vision. However, it was not until she began to have vagal faints that her actions became more deliberate. Especially after she fainted into someone's lap, on a train journey home from work. So, during one of her regular ‘future self meditations' … an annual course correction … used to inform her thinking for the year ahead and to adopt a very much forward looking lens … things became more obvious. Additional clarity followed with the strong influence of her mentor, who was a leader in nature sustainability. He challenged her with the saying … “If not you … who! If not now … when?”

In this episode, we explore what it means to truly know where you're headed—and why you're heading there. From career shifts to personal crossroads, many of us operate on autopilot, doing what's needed instead of asking what we truly want. Join us for an honest conversation about finding your personal vision and purpose, the tools that help (like Remember the Future and Ikigai), and why taking time to reflect may be the most powerful move you make.

Welcome to the fourth episode of our miniseries on Finding Your Ikigai, where we invite a series of guests to explore what it truly means to live a good life, incorporating the concept of Ikigai alongside Providend's Philosophy of Sufficiency.As trusted advisers to affluent clients for over two decades, we've always advocated that clients prioritise life decisions before financial ones. These life decisions are what we refer to as “Ikigai” decisions.In this episode, our Founder and CEO, Christopher Tan, has a chat with Choon Jin, an accountant by training whose career has spanned corporate mergers and acquisitions, insurance leadership, and regional consulting, before making the leap into entrepreneurship and reflecting on the role of balancing different 'Ikigais' in his life.Choon Jin talks about how he began questioning what he truly wakes up for, leading to a career switch that better aligned with his values. He also shares that a turning point came when he had a heart attack while overseas, forcing him to confront not just his Ikigai at work, but also the need to prioritise another: his family.Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially—with your Ikigai goals at the forefront of your wealth plan.Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The host of this episode, Christopher Tan, is Chief Executive Officer of Providend, Singapore's first fee-only wealth advisory firm and author of the book “Money Wisdom: Simple Truths for Financial Wellness”.The full list of Providend's Money Wisdom podcast episodes from Season 4 can be found here.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

In questo episodio ti accompagno alla scoperta della differenza tra Ikigai e Dharma. Lo faccio perché dopo aver pubblicato un video sui social, nel quale parlo di questo tema, ho ricevuto molti commenti e segni di interesse. Il video lo trovi anche su Instagram, clicca quiSpesso confusi, questi due concetti racchiudono visioni molto diverse della nostra missione nella vita: una più orientata al fare, l'altra all'essere. Ti parlerò del Dharma secondo gli insegnamenti vedici e del mio Maestro indiano, Sathya Sai Baba, che lo definiva come la legge eterna dell'universo e il cammino della rettitudine interiore. Scoprirai perché il tuo Dharma non va costruito, ma ricordato. E perché non è qualcosa che cerchi… ma qualcosa che ti sta cercando. Questa puntata è un invito a ritrovare la tua verità. Ad ascoltare la voce silenziosa della coscienza. A vivere in armonia con ciò che sei venuto a donare.Se desideri scrivermi una email inviala a info@richardromagnoli.com Ho raccontato delle mie esperienze di vita nei miei vari libri, nei "108 doni dell'India" che trovate disponibili su Substack e soprattutto nel Docufilm "Surrender, era scritto nelle foglie del destino".

When you're living with a chronic illness, it can feel like your whole world revolves around management plans, symptom tracking, and just getting through the day. In the midst of all that, it's easy to lose touch with the things that used to light you up—the simple joys, passions, and pieces of yourself that make life feel meaningful.In this episode, we're talking about Ikigai, the Japanese concept that loosely translates to "reason for being." We explore how reconnecting with what you love—even in small ways—can shift your experience and allow for more freedom, peace, and ease no matter what you're dealing with. What We Talk About in This Episode:* What Ikigai means and how it relates to chronic illness* The inward focus of managing chronic illness and how it can shift your energy away from what truly lights you up* The shift from “my possibilities are limited” to “my possibilities are different”* Why healing isn't just about protocols—it's also about curiosity, passion, and doing the things that matter to youEpisode Links:* Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Healthy Life* Samantha's Thriving With Gastroparesis Community* Subscribe on SubstackTheme music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/ben-johnson/cant-stop-chasing-youLicense code: LTNISOMTFHZIIXYY This is a public episode.

David Marlow is known as the Ikigai Guy. I didn't know that when I first came across his writing. What I did know was that something in his work resonated deeply with me.   Today, we talk about what happens when your career comes to a close, and you're left facing the question: who am I now? David shares how he discovered the concept of ikigai, what it means to him, and how it shaped the way he moved through the end of his own career.   He offers a thoughtful process for reconnecting with purpose, and for paying attention to the parts of your life that make you feel most alive. We talk about identity, daily rituals, the power of reflection, and how a few small steps can open the door to something meaningful.   We also explore:   What ikigai means (and what it doesn't) How to quiet the noise enough to hear what's true for you Why a beginner's mindset is key to moving forward What it looks like to create your own “ikiverse” How old memories and stories can point you back to what matters most   Resources: Follow David on LinkedIn  Subscribe to the Ikiquest Newsletter David's website   Where to find The Ikigai Way:  Amazon   Barnes and Noble  Wiley Books

What a $500M Tech Exit Taught Him About Building a Thriving Architecture FirmWhat does a $500 million tech exit have to do with building a thriving architecture firm? In this episode, Amos Peleg shares his incredible journey—from a young man determined not to follow in his architect father's footsteps, to building Pelleck Linehouse, a thriving 20-person architecture firm.After six years of study split between Israel and New York City, Amos graduated from City College in 1999 and was quickly swept into the world of tech, joining a rooftop loft startup that sold for $550 million just three months later. That experience sparked his passion for entrepreneurship, launching a years-long pursuit of starting his own business through repeated trial and error.Eventually, family needs brought Amos back to Israel, where he partnered with a close friend and rebuilt his father's struggling firm. Along the way, he learned what it really takes to build a sustainable architecture practice—hiring the right people, identifying profitable niches, and designing processes that free him from the daily grind while still leading as CEO.He reflects on lessons from architecture school under his father's critical eye, working under a Holocaust survivor, and navigating the tension between personal passion and professional success. Through it all, Amos champions the power of vision, strategy, and Ikigai—aligning what you love, what you're good at, and what the world needs.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, What a $500M Tech Exit Taught Him About Building a Thriving Architecture Firm with Amos Peleg.Learn more about Amos Peleg and his work at Peleg Kleinhause, and connect with him on LinkedIn.Please Visit Our Platform SponsorsArcatemy is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Genevieve White, travel copywriting expert and Founder of Campion Comms & Coaching, about why there's so much important work that needs to happen before you ever put pen to paper when you're writing copy for your travel organization. Genevieve walks us through the customer journey, from the dreaming phase to planning and booking, explaining how your copy should meet travelers where they are, every step of the way. She also shares her favorite recipe for establishing a relatable and confident tone of voice and reveals how simplicity and clarity can make your words work harder for your brand. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Genevieve transitioned from a career in education to founding her own travel and tourism copywriting business, inspired by the Ikigai method and life changes How to craft effective copy, including the importance of deeply understanding your customer persona before writing How identifying and narrowing your target audience can transform general copy into messaging that resonates and attracts your ideal clients Why aligning your copy with different stages of the customer journey—dreaming, planning, booking, and aftercare—is crucial for moving potential travelers toward action The value of clarity, simplicity, and using “you/your” to create relatability Practical ways to instill that confidence in your writing before you get going How clear calls to action and strategically repeating key messages increase engagement on your website Think About Your Dream Customer Genevieve emphasizes that before you ever set pen to paper—or fingers to keyboard—you need to get crystal clear about who you want to attract. Lots of businesses make the mistake of casting too wide a net, hoping to appeal to “everyone,” but in reality, being everything to everyone often means resonating with no one. Genevieve suggests creating a detailed customer persona that goes beyond simple demographics like age and gender. Consider the customer's travel style, values, preferred communication platforms, and even lifestyle details, such as shopping habits or their idea of a perfect day. As she says, “It's by speaking directly to that person that you can really elevate your copy and stand out.” Match Your Copy to the Customer Journey Not all copy serves the same purpose. At various stages of their journey, from dreaming to planning, booking, and post-visit, travelers need different kinds of information and inspiration. Dreaming Stage: Here, your audience is searching for inspiration. Use evocative, sensory language to paint a picture and create a little FOMO (the fear of missing out). Focus on what makes your experience unique and let your destination's personality shine. Planning Stage: Now, your customer wants practical information. Provide details in a clear, organized manner. Use bullet points and white space to make information easy to digest, especially for mobile users. Be selective and avoid overwhelming readers with too much detail. Booking Stage:  At this point, clarity and simplicity are key. Remove ambiguity and minimize unnecessary words. Make sure calls to action (CTAs) are prominent. Guide users smoothly and confidently through the booking process without distractions or confusion. The Recipe for a Great Brand Voice The most effective copy should feel like a conversation with a friend—relatable, personable, and confident. Brands often drift into a corporate or overly formal style that feels cold and unattractive. Use clear, simple language and write as you speak. Be mindful of corporate cliches in language, especially phrases like “we are passionate about.” Let people know about your expertise and offerings directly, by using simple phrases like “We do this,” or “Our experience includes…” A confident tone makes your brand more credible and helps your customer feel secure in choosing you. Genevieve recommends that if you're not feeling confident, don't write! Instead, get into a positive, empowered mindset before drafting your copy. Your energy will transfer to your words.

Let's be real—life falls apart sometimes. But here's the good news: in Japan, we don't toss the broken stuff—we gold it. This week on Wabi Sabi, I'm diving into the art of kintsugi and how those so-called “cracks” in your life can actually lead you to your ikigai—your purpose, your why, your get-out-of-bed-and-make-matcha energy. We'll talk breakups, burnout, identity shifts, and how feeling “off” can actually be the beginning of something beautiful. It's not about having it all together—it's about loving your flaws, laughing at the mess, and finding your path anyway. This is your permission slip to be a little broken, a little fabulous, and a lot more you.
