Welcome to Job Tales, the show where I bring you inspiring stories from professionals all over the world. Each episode dives into the unique paths people have taken in their careers, giving you a glimpse into the variety of jobs that exist out there—or at least, almost all of them!This week, I’m excited to introduce Stephen Payne, a filmmaker whose journey began in a rather unexpected way: delivering film as a motorcycle dispatcher. From there, he found his passion in photography, working with music bands, which naturally led him into the world of filmmaking. Stephen’s story is one of persistence, self-initiative, and a relentless drive to carve out his own path.So, sit back, relax, and let’s dive into Stephen’s journey!#filmmaker #filmmakerjob #jobtalespodcast #findajob #jobtales #career

Job Tales is the podcast I started in 2021 to help people find the right job by giving an overview of all the jobs existing out there. I regularly interview guests with different jobs, and by "job" I mean whatever profession gives you the means to live.Today I have Danilo Cretegny with me. He is an Energy Consultant, or Energy Specialist. Danilo studied mechanical engineering and over the course of the years he became a specialist in energy efficiency. This is a job that allows him to stay true to his own values and efforts in climate change. Interesting points from his interview: work on your communication skills before you embark on your job, and choose a job that provides sense to your life, follow your values. 

Job Tales is a podcast where you can peruse all kinds of jobs as they are told in a 25-minute interview by professionals around the world.  Angus Macdonald spent 20 years at Procter & Gamble working in financial analysis and planning. He did his academic training in engineering. He loves coaching rugby to the youth, he is good at math and sciences. He used his professional experience, his skills and his passions to drive a major change in his job. And so, 5 years ago, he became a math teacher. Listen to Angus’ Job Tale.

“Hypnosis leverages on the plasticity of the brain”. “The subconscious is a 7-year-old kid”. “Imagination is more powerful than reality”. “If you think about something it becomes real, because the brain doesn’t make the difference between the thought and the reality”. These and more messages emerge in today’s Job Tale dedicated to the profession of the Hypnotist.There is often a misconception about Hypnosis, and its use as a therapy. We often think of its use as a form of entertainment, when we watch staged hypnosis and the powers of persuasion. Livie Gallone is a hypnotist and she sheds light on her profession and what hypnotism means.
