What do you enjoy about your experience at Ikigai?
‘The relationships I have developed within the community are simply invaluable. Fun fact: my main client (a firm based in Australia) is courtesy of Ikigai.’
Thomas highlights that being an Ikigai member has been instrumental to his career growth. In addition to the Australian firm, Thomas has acquired other clients from the Ikigai network. Additionally, he has benefitted from the services offered by other members of the Ikigai community.

How do you unwind and find balance?
