Welcome to the fourth episode of our miniseries Ikigai Insider, where we invite our Client Advisers to share what it means to live a good life, combining Ikigai with Providend’s Philosophy of Sufficiency.
Each episode explores one of the eight Ikigai petals identified by Mieko Kamiya, the mother of Ikigai Psychology, whose work has been revitalised by Nicolas Kemp, Founder of Ikigai Tribe. Our Client Advisers share personal reflections and the steps they take to fulfil each petal.
In this podcast episode, Matthias, our Senior Client Adviser, reflects on the Ikigai petal of ‘Bright Future’ – representing a psychological need to believe that life is moving in a positive direction. He opens up about stepping out of his comfort zone and making the difficult decision to change jobs after spending more than a decade at his previous firm. While the transition came with uncertainty, he chose to hold on to optimism and trust in what the future could hold.
Together with our host Aaron, he reflects on the story of a prisoner in a concentration camp and explores how the simple act of looking towards a better tomorrow, can give meaning to today.
Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially, with your Ikigai goals at the forefront of your wealth plan.
