Mid-career pivots, toxic workplaces, and the fear of “purpose won’t pay the rent” stop far too many high-achievers from stepping into their next chapter. In this episode, you’ll hear Francesc’s candid stories - quitting a prestige publishing job, backpacking through India with nothing but a notebook, and uncovering the Okinawan secrets that launched the Ikigai movement - all recorded live beneath the Matterhorn, during a live interview at the Ikigai in Nature retreat organized by TravelGems.
