About this listen

David Marlow is known as the Ikigai Guy. I didn’t know that when I first came across his writing. What I did know was that something in his work resonated deeply with me.

Today, we talk about what happens when your career comes to a close, and you're left facing the question: who am I now? David shares how he discovered the concept of ikigai, what it means to him, and how it shaped the way he moved through the end of his own career.

He offers a thoughtful process for reconnecting with purpose, and for paying attention to the parts of your life that make you feel most alive. We talk about identity, daily rituals, the power of reflection, and how a few small steps can open the door to something meaningful.

We also explore:

What ikigai means (and what it doesn’t)

How to quiet the noise enough to hear what’s true for you

Why a beginner’s mindset is key to moving forward

What it looks like to create your own “ikiverse”

How old memories and stories can point you back to what matters most
