Origin: I just moved to Chicago after my all-in entrepreneurial ventures in Japan Failed. I'm currently looking for a global medTech leadership role (w/ benefits) so I can provide financial stability to my family. I've also built free community on Skool and am hopeful that I can progress my paid communities in a scalable way to provide additional value and financial freedom. Desired Future State: For the MedTech Role... targeting base comp 230k, working remote so I can still take care of baby Akio and Emiko (3yr), with global innovation influence ideally working between Startups, VC, and Strategics. For Skool, I'm hoping to build a thriving Free Community of around 5000 folks, and hit 40k MRR on my two paid communities in the years to come as things scale. Why: I genuinely want to provide for my children, my wife, my in-laws and break free of paycheck to paycheck. From a vocational perspective my IKIGAI is very centered on unlocking the potential of others as well as progressing innovation that heals on a global scales Fears: Order of Operations, patience, building for long term horizon, burn out, ... and whatever else crazy that God wants me to do

Origin: I am a software engineer in the gaming industry. I spent the first 3 years on the gaming side, then transitioned to more tools creation and design for about half a year until I recently transitioned to working on business applications to avoid the stagnation that was happening in the tools/design. Desired Future State: Working in the VR gaming industry pushing it's bounds and living in Japan. Why: I find VR fascinating and think that there could be a lot more done with it than currently has been. I find the gaming creation aspect enjoyable and any advancements in the VR gaming will be transferable to the industry as a whole which can provide a lot of benefit for the other fields. For Japan, I like the country and want to experience what it is to live there and have the ability to easily explore the surrounding countries. Fears: Not finding opportunities to get to Japan or not within a timely manner. Not directly working in the VR industry and so not being able to successfully pivot into that field.

Origin: Building a biz that truly aligns with my passion and purpose, to enable others to walk freely in theirs regardless of what the world or anyone else thinks 😉 I’m not new to entrepreneurship, but started this new adventure last year, intentionally slow to build the culture of my spaces so we get a slow burn that stands the test of time in lieu of a fast flame that fizzles out. Desired Future State: Filling my schedule to work with peeps that are all in to build their own legacy, one that feels authentic to them and fulfills their dreams and aspirations beyond their wildest imagination. As a byproduct the funds that come from that will go towards building tiny houses for my crazies as they reach adulthood and fund their entrepreneurial goals, freedom to travel, and funding other amazing humans that are world changers to support what shifts are coming! Why: This fuels my soul like none other, lights a fire in me to see others pursuing their dreams and breaking free from the boxes society has convinced them is what life is 😉 I also enjoy fun things, experiences and freedom that this sort of endeavor brings forth. Fears: I don’t have any… it’s been many years of inner work and growth to bring me to this point. Realizing that everything happens just as it’s supposed to when it’s supposed to. There is no such thing as failure, everything is a learning experience… yes some aren’t fun to walk through, but if we lean in and glean while we keep moving forward then it can’t be a failure regardless right?! Those icky bits are what push our growth edges to make room for what is yet to come, it’s what helps us choose differently, not stay stuck in what we have been doing and require our brain to be able to move differently. We can’t reach the goals and dreams if we keep doing the same we always have, we have to choose to lean in to the change, the scary parts, pause and get curious within, because we are masters of our destiny and getting out of victim mindset and into radical responsibility is the key.

Origin 🗺️: At the moment, I'm living in Sweden and have been for 7 years with my hubby, a rambunctious 4 year old boy, and half of the year with my mom! I'm so happy that I've found my calling! I have created a free and paid writing communities on Skool and they are doing well! But, dun, dun, dunnn! I've ran into issues keeping the life in my communities since I'm working on expanding and growing more, which isn't always on Skool. So, I'm working on helping that along with learning more to become even more knowledgable with Skool, businesses, and writing. Desired Future State 💭: As I look down at all the struggles and accomplishments, I see my life as something easy and filled with peace. My books have skyrocketed along with my communities. My family and I can travel whenever and I have a wonderful team that helps my business flow. I'm able to make money consistently and I have a lot of free time that's dedicated to my family and writing my books! Plus, I still have time to be there for my communities if needed! Oh, and I can't forget my thriving travel blog! I have some bloggers for it and through that, I work with hotel companies, tour companies, and a few other companies regarding travel. Why 🤯: Freedom is something I hold dear and that's especially true when it comes to my time. Yes, I love helping others write stories and help them find and heal themselves. However, I want more time with my family and to see more of the world. Plus, working on writing, I know that's going to help so many in a different way besides just doing speaking events and podcasts. Fears 😱: I've been working on healing money blocks, self-worth issues, and believing in myself. It's getting better everyday and the more I move forward, the more I can see that I'm doing the right thing for myself!
