This is the question that I explore with start-up adviser, consultant, speaker and investor Hamish Thomson on this week's episode of The Indispensable Conversation.
Indeed, it is Hamish's vast and varied experiences (he is the former Regional President/CEO and Global brand head for Mars Inc (UK, Australia, Chicago) and a one-time senior marketing leader at Reebok International (England & the Netherlands)) that makes him the right guy to tackle this topic with me:

Who better to explore this paradox with me than "the Ikigai guy" himself, David E. Marlow? After a 30-year career as a senior leader and executive in F...
