Welcome to Job Tales: the podcast where you listen to professional stories and find the job that suits YOU. Claudio is a Serial Entrepreneur.

His tagline: If you can think it, I can create it.

Welcome to Job Tales: the podcast where you listen to professional stories and find the job that suits YOU. Perry is more than just a diving instructor: he is a source of inspiration about life, work, entrepreneurship and courage.

Perry is 73 years old. He always loved the sea. He wanted to study oceanography, but it would take 12 years, so instead he took 1 year off to travel – Caribbean, South America…1 year became two years, then 3, then 10 years, living around the world. He started a first business in Jamaica. His second business was in Amsterdam, where he transported used cars to Syria. Once in Rhodes, he started a diving business and turned it into the biggest diving in Europe, 30 years ago. All of this doesn’t come out of thin air, it’s a process, it takes focus, you put your mind to it and don’t let side energy pull you left or right.

Listen to this inspiring episode of Job Tales.

Veerle is Concept and Brand Director at Zoku. We are about to explore what is, in her words, the best job in the world!

Veerle had no plan B: plan A had to work. And plan A was to work in hospitality. Initially she thought it would be hotel management, but she soon realised it was not for her. And then she met Hans, co-founder of Zoku. The rest is history.

Veerle recommends to be involved in side projects while at school, and to find a mentor who believes in you when you do not yet believe in yourself.

Dario is a Preclinical Toxicologist. To set the mood of today’s interview I’ll quote Paracelsus, the father of toxicology. He said “All things are poisons, for there is nothing without poisonous qualities. It is only the dose which makes a thing poison.”

Welcome to Job Tales. the podcast where you find dozens of interviews and learn about your potential, future, favourite job. Tyler Spangler is a Graphic artist, but the title does not do justice to the full depth of his job. And to explain what I mean, I will simply let Tyler speak for himself. 

Caleb Warren is Associate Professor of Marketing at the Eller College of Management in Tucson, Arizona. 40% of his work is teaching, 60% is research, which focuses on humour and coolness. What makes cool, why people laugh, why people buy stuff and why it doesn’t make them happier. He talks about moral psychology, whether it is easy to make people funnier, and the “moral violations” that make you laugh.

In the next 25 minutes we’ll go through Caleb’s job tale, his PHD years, his work with students and his opinion on how AI and future technology will affect PHD work.
