Welcome to this episode of The Ikigaia podcast! A show where I speak with people on purpose.

What does it mean to be a successful entrepreneur? What does it take to make a big idea happen? What is the purpose of entrepreneurship?

Today I have an amazing guest! Influencer, writer, entrepreneur, and world traveler: Chéyan Marie.

This powerhouse woman is an executive assistant by day and a passionate, multifaceted entrepreneur by night.

Chéyan is the founder of Ital Living, a holistic wellness brand focused on creating a positive impact in communities around the world.

She is also a curator at The Almost Vegan, where she brings awareness to the way we consume food. 

And last but not least, she is a poetry author currently working on a publication she plans to release this fall.

"We can create heaven on earth if we chose to. It's a matter of making people think that we can, because everything we believe, we can do."

This intuitive woman is not your standard entrepreneur. While she knows starting a business can mean more money, she strives for more than that. She is looking to create real impact, leave a legacy, align with her visions and values, and be the change she wants to see in the world.

In today's episode, we discuss the process of discovering your passions, how to create confidence around your business ideas, the entrepreneur's role in a community, and how to build one.

Things you will learn in this episode:

• Why your passion and values should align with the work that you do.
• How to positively impact your audience while doing something you love.
• The importance of supporting creativity in society.
• How to stay productive in your workday.
• How immersing yourself in a diverse environment changes your perspective.
• How failure can lead to success.
