In his TED talk, Richard St. John describes the 8 things he's learned by interviewing 400 TED speakers over 7 years. Successful people are driven by their passion, they work hard, focus on what's important, persist despite having set backs, look for opportunities to invent, put in the work to become good, push themselves and serve others. In this video, we'll dive deeper into Ikigai (as a framework you can do) to help you marry these ideas and turn your passion into profit.

Recommended Supplies:
3x5" index cards (3 colors) or have a sheet of paper folded into 3 columns
6 sided die x 2 (one will do)
sharpie
