There are plenty of studies that show that having a "purpose" and working after it is correlated with higher happiness or well being. "Purpose" is vague enough, so to make things worse I am going to conflate it with "life meaning", "calling" or "personal values". I recently came across the Japanese "Ikigai" which seems related.

Ok, I buy this, however, what is this "purpose/ meaning/ calling/ value" thing? What does it mean, really? How do I find mine?

I think this is the kind of thing a fair amount of people here in HN have thought about, so I thought of asking.

Is there any research that goes into what is "purpose" and how to figure it out? I've come across plenty that talks about how good it is, but nothing that goes into how to find it.

We are going to provide SDR and growth marketing training through a partner, but I am looking for companies in need of SDRs and growth marketers.

These students will be trained and ready to contribute from day 1.

Ideally, this is a 6-month, paid internship which could lead to a full-time position.\nWe will handle the admin stuff to ease international hiring.

I'm looking to take out a $250k loan that uses some startup equity I own as collateral (the FMV of that equity comes in at ~$650k).

For what it's worth, the company is 4-5 years old and isn't a brand name like, e.g., Uber. That's to say I'd expect industry knowledge would be required to fully appreciate the value of the equity (e.g. investor names, usage metrics, etc).

Who offers loans of this kind?

I don't imagine I can, e.g., walk into my local Chase branch and strike up a good loan for this, right?
