Ikigai is a Japanese concept which helps you find, define and live by your reason for being. This is such a powerful concept because, as you'll hear, it helps you do what you love, what the world needs, what your good at and what you can be paid for. Paul Skuse is a successful entrepreneur and has been using the concept of Ikigai for many years. As I talk to him about Ikigai, it emerges that he didn't find it, the concept found him.
