About This Event

Day 3 slows down and turns inward. Using the Japanese concept of ikigai — the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for — we'll explore the questions that often get drowned out in the noise of building.

Expect honest conversation, guided reflection, and the kind of company that helps you hear your own thinking more clearly. Whether you're between chapters, deep in one, or just sensing it's time to recalibrate — this is a space to sit with the bigger why.
