It was a delight to talk to Robin Lewis about how he moved from inspiration to action to integrate his ikigai and purpose around sustainable living. He talks candidly about the challenges of being so engrossed in your ikigai that you fail to look after yourself, finding an ikigai partner, about being an intrapreneur or volunteering as a way to bring even more fulfilment into your day.
We also talk about home karaoke, the Princess Bride and a future career as a snowboarder.
If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- The experience that raised Robin’s awareness around the need for reducing plastic waste
- Moving to Hakuba and the perils of an all encompassing Ikigai
- What he learnt from the movie the Princess Bride and how Ikigai shifts
- What an ‘intrapreneur’ is and how it relates to Ikigai
