A Wantrepreneur's Journey

The importance of knowing your Ikigai when starting an online business, with Dr Bela

In this episode, I sit down with my stepdad, Dr. Bela, a medical professional turned entrepreneur, who is in the process of launching his own supplement line. He has been building brick and mortar businesses for past 15 years, but for the past 3-4 years he has been immersing himself in the digital economy. Dr. Bela explains his drive behind wanting to make the digital leap and tells us why even if you have a steady income and a high quality of living, unless you are in the digital space, your freedom is limited.  We also dive into the Japanese notion of Ikigai, which roughly translates to 'the reason for being'. We discuss how one's ikigai can change over time, and how it affects every major decision in life.
