Searching for jobs on Indeed, LinkedIn, or ZipRecruiter, hoping to find the perfect fit? But did you know that some jobs will never appear on these platforms? Yet they exist and thrive in the shadows: from psychic investigators to ghost hunters to voodoo priests and priestesses. An entire world of professions operates beyond the conventional job market. These careers aren't just myths or Hollywood fantasies. They are real, with dedicated practitioners making a living from them. Today, on our Magical Professions podcast, we're joined by someone who has spent considerable time talking to these people.
Let's welcome Jeff Lipman, host of the Garden of Doom podcast. With over 260 episodes, Jeff has interviewed individuals whose work defies mainstream job descriptions. Among his many guests, he has spoken with those who communicate with spirits, investigate the supernatural, and practice ancient magical traditions. But how did Jeff become the voice bringing these extraordinary stories to light? What has he learned from his guests? And what do these unconventional careers reveal about the world we live in? Join us as Jeff shares his insights, experiences, and the journey that led him to explore a world that challenges traditional norms.
