Job Tales - I interview professionals to help you become who you wish to be

I am sure you have seen Fleur in many movies, even if you don't know it was her. It's the job of a stunt double, that fascinates women as well as men. Fleur started when she was 21, she loved physical activity and was good at several sports. 

If you love fitness, hard work, and are prone to action, you can make this your career. Like with many other jobs, there are stunt schools you can attend; Fleur suggests that you knock at the doors of as many stunt agencies as possible. She worked in Cape Town, South Africa, which is renowned for film productions services. But you will find opportunities in many other cities and countries. If you have any question about this job, drop me a line.

I think that each of us creates his own professional reality.  We re often moulded by what the education system expects from us, and we don’t take risks , as it is a scary process. But what if we did take a risk? What if. It paid off? And enriched us? For 1 year, 2 years, or a lifetime. Food for thought.

When I  meet people like Dickie I think that my work with the podcast is worth while.

Dickie expresses all his passion about working for the preservation of nature. He didn't want to have a 9 to 5 job, so he got himself a 24/7 job!

Dickie Chivell is a nature conservationist based in South Africa. His life is dedicated to the marine world and to preserving our beautiful nature. With the income generated though ecotours and his work with Discovery Channel he funds his conservation center that he runs with his dad. Dickie, let’s start from the beginning.

Some of his videos have made it across the world with over 120M views, like this one:
