In this episode, we speak with Charles Lee about his own career journey and what he has learned about designing a good life. We explore how he came to distinguish competence from vocation, why ambitious people can drift toward externally defined success, and what makes a life meaningful. Charles shares how design thinking and experimentation can help us find direction, turn ideas into action, and learn by doing, while reflection helps us tell genuine exploration from simply hiding in busywork.

Charles Lee is the Founder and CEO of Ideation, where he helps individuals and organizations turn ideas into meaningful action. His work explores how design thinking, experimentation and reflection can help people make more intentional career and life choices. He has advised leaders across a range of sectors and is the author of Design Your Good Life andGood Idea. Now What?, on purpose, creativity and turning ideas into action.
