One Week Job: New Web Show About Finding Your Passion

If you didn’t know your passion in life, would you throw everything aside to search for it? Such is the premise for my friend’s One Week Job project.

Since February, he’s been traveling around Canada working a job a week, meeting new people, learning new skills, and generally experiencing continual uncertainty. It’s like traveling…on steroids.

And recently, he managed to drag me along for the ride.

I’ve taken on the role of filmographer - shooting, editing, and producing weekly episodes based on his jobs. We’ve spent the last few weeks in Toronto and it’s already been a wild ride: working at a brewery, a tattoo parlour, and now the largest cancer research hospital in Canada.

Episode #2 from New Tribe Tattoo Parlour was just published today. Have a watch, and if you like it, it would help both of us greatly if you spread the word. Any feedback is also appreciated!
