About
I want to meet more people who care about what they're working on.
$1 Sprint is a three-hour event: make something and sell it to a stranger.
I'm also planning a casual café work session in Sydney.
Why I'm doing it
I like being around people who are into what they're doing.
I wanted a reason to meet them and work alongside them.
That might involve a product, a business, an event, a meal, a piece of writing, or a change to an ordinary week. The things I make and host are a way to find out.
Living freely
Having some say over your time.
Money, work, relationships, health, and place all affect what is possible. I want the things I make and host to be honest about that. Freedom will look different for different people.
The name
Why Ikigai Hackers?
The name came from my interest in what makes people feel alive and gives them a reason to keep doing something. I don't have a definition to teach. I want to see how people answer through what they make and how they spend their time.
