Today's episode is a little unconventional, coming off an incredible weekend at my friend Rebecca Cafiero's 2-day live event in Scottsdale - Weekend at the Pitch Club.

During day 2, one of the speakers Emily Kim challenged us with a little post event homework assignment and my friend Alessia Citro and I thought it would be fun to have this conversation in real time right here on the podcast.

In this episode, we are live chatting through the three key elements Emily challenged us to explore.

1) Understanding your why for your business (and not your surface level why but your 5 layers deep why)

2) Finding your Ikigai (don't worry - I didn't know what it was either but we will explain)

3) Where we need to create more space for magic in our business
