David revisited the ikigai chart, which doubles as our logo, and made an argument we keep coming back to: the diagram is symmetrical, but the paths through it are not. The best starting point is what you are good at, because investing there creates a self-reinforcing loop. Positive feedback makes you want to invest more; from strength you can branch toward what you love, what pays, and what the world needs.
