George Appling on How to Make Intentional Career Choices | EP 545

I think he's brilliant. I probably see an Instagram clip of him every day. But he's got these three circles, and it's basically, I pronounce it Ikigai, and my publisher went down this whole path of how do you pronounce that, and they actually made me choose. They said, there are Japanese people on either side of how to pronounce this, and so I chose Ikigai, although it sounds dumb.
