You’ve heard of Ikigai - but you haven’t practiced it. Here’s how you can start in 3 minutes. Let’s use Jason Zhu He as a case study. Why? For starters, he’s the founder of Ikigai Network. But everything will make sense as we examine the 4 pillars. – – – 1) Find what you LOVE Jason has chased his love for videography since his mum gave him his first camera at 16. The Manly Sea Eagles were his local footy club, so he sent them some flicks. They told him to “show ‘em what he could do” at next week’s game. He impressed and became the club’s videographer in year 10. – – – 2) Find what you can be PAID for It’s no secret that lawyers get the bag 💰 With a passion for the law, studying efficiently, and building arguments - law made perfect sense for Jason. During his law studies, these skills have already yielded $$$ through Jason’s roles as an academic leader, law clerk, and chambers legal assistant. – – – 3) Find what you’re GOOD at Signing deals with decision-makers you have *zero* connection to… is hard for most people. But it has always come naturally to Jason. So, he co-founded The Australian Law Student to turn an educational podcast into a profitable company with law firm sponsors. – – – Provide what the world NEEDS One thing that every young person needs? A job. But how can it form a meaningful career? Jason’s answer is Ikigai Network, the streaming service partnered with Clayton Utz, NSW Department of Education, and Mirvac that helps students find their "reason to get up in the morning." – – – In each of these 4 experiences, Jason leaned more into passion, mission, profession, or vocation. But they’ve always intersected to form his Ikigai. Want to find your own Ikigai, or just hear Jason’s story in more depth?
