Passion For Work

Forget what you think you know about the film industry, Jeff breaks it down for us and show us the inside look at what it is like to work in both TV and in Major Motion Picture Production.

We forget that in most job roles, you could potentially keep the same role for your entire tenure. Not in the Film and TV industry. Once a project is over, it is time to look for a new job.

Jeff gives a lot of advice to anoyone who might be interested in the industry, including making sure to network as you never know who might be able to help you get your next job.

Thanks to Jeff Reeves for making this one super interesting!!

Kevin had spent years building his career to get to the Director level. He ran a team of people and was living what some would consider "the dream". But for Kevin, 80 hour weeks, a ton of travel combine with missing spending time with his family and dogs, Kevin decided it was time for a change.

With whatever free time he could find, Kevin wrote out on paper what his ideal life looked like, and then HE BUILT IT. He created ELMNTL Fitness, where he guides his members through fitness training routines using elements found in nature and focuse on making excercising...dare I say....FUN! After years of hard work, dedication and struggle, Kevin finally got his business to the point where he could leave his full time job.

Not only that, Kevin was able to completely replace his full time income between his new business and doing Free Lance work on the side, and still works just 40 hours a week which gives him time to spend time with his family and dogs doing what he loves!

Kevin is living his best life. Are you?

Talk about hustle! If you think that being a DJ is easy, then listen to this interview. I learned quickly that with barriers to entry in this field being lower than ever, its hard to make it in this business.

Hard work, sacrifice and dedication are no stranger to Dan as he constatnly works to be an expert at his craft. The passion he has for laying down sick tracks make it seem natural to him, but he puts in the effort to deliver nothing but the very best! You won't want to miss this one.

The exponential growth of the internet has created so many things since personal computers were introduced over 2 decades ago. Angela tells us what it is really like to work for a media company as a Senior Digital Product Manager and shares her story of how she got to where she is now.

If you enjoy playing video games, chances are you have wondered what it would be like to be a video game tester. Vinnie tells all about how it is and is not like the move "Grandma's Boy". Truth be told, the job can be very tedious and it take a love of the job to make one successful in the role.

Have you ever heard someone who is ready for a career change say that they are just going to quit their jobs and go work on a cruise ship? Tour the world, work on the open ocean, the perfect job, right?

Maybe not. I think it is about time that we hear the inside scoop on what it is like to work on a crusie ship. Rachel tells us all about the part of the job that we don't think about; the food selection (or lack there of), lack of free time and the long work days. Oh and not to mention that Rachel worked every day for 8 months STRAIGHT!!!

I don't know why I have heard so many people talk about pursuing a career in personal fitness training like it is such an easy thing to do. Developing a loyal and quality client base is very hard and according to Justin, the average lenth of a personal trainer lasts less than 1 year because of how hard it can be to be successful.

This interview is packed with inspiration, dedication, discipline and humility. A true and honest Rags to Riches story with an inside look at the real story behind how long it took to get to the top including mistakes, trials and struggles that life threw his way.

If you don't love this one, you aren't human. Just kidding(but really).

If you are nervous about starting your own business, changing careers or taking a big risk then you need to listen to this. Claire is the CEO of Know Your Company, which helps growing businesses connect with their employees. Claire went to school for Political Science and after obtaining her degree she turned down several lucrative job offers to start her own company.

Claire puts risk in perspective, challenges fear and ignores limiting beliefs. She teaches us valuable lessons that we can all grow from.

I know what you are thinking, being a flight attendant must be the coolest job ever. You get to travel all over, meet great people and explore the world, right?

Not Exactly!

Being a flight attendant, especially in the beginning, is a lifestyle!

In most cases, starting pay is pretty low, you basically live out of a suitcase and you are away from home A LOT! Kiley mentioned that she hadn't been home for the holidays in about 3 years.

If you want to explore, Kiley recommends using Google to search "flight attendant interview questions". These will definitely help if you decide to go through the interview process.

There are a flight attendant schools that you can attend, althought it might be more helpful to apply directly to an airline as most will want to train you their own way based on that specific company's policies and procedures.

One day at work, I happenned to notice that there was an article on our pantry refrigerator that mentioned something about Yoga and Meditation. After a closer look, I was intrigued to say the least. The article feartured Sarah and Ashley, the co founders of a company called "Work From Om"; love that play on words. They offer yoga and meditation to both individual and corporate clients in the New York City Area.

That day happenned to be a particularly stressful day, so the placement of that article was almost serendipitous. I needed a way to manage the level of stress I was dealing with in a healthy way. I couldn't wait to hear more, so I reached out to Sarah and she was very generous with the time and content she brought to the show.

Even Sarah herself recounts how after incorporating meditation into her daily routine she was much more focused throughout the day and found that she was more focused and made better decisions.

Sarah and Ashley teach mindfulness techniques to help align your body, sprit and soul and explan how these three major parts of the human being are all connected.

Notes from the show:

Book "The Miricle Morning" by Hal Elrod. Teaches positive morning routine techniques and offers shortcuts for those who are short on time
