12. James The Earth Builder
Passion For Work
03/07/15 • 46 min
Ever wish you had a job that makes a difference in the world. Something noble and interesting that lets you travel and explore the globe, all while helping people build homes for their families and communities in much less fortunate places in the world than the US? That sounds all too great...doesn't it?
Well guess what....that's right, James does exactly that!
James and his co-founder started United Earth Builders, a company the specialized in building homes and structures using cutting edge technology, eco-friendly materials all while being environmentally conscious. He has travelled all over the world building these structures and even teaching others simply how to build when they have never build anything before. In fact, he just got back to the states after doing just that, in Africa.
That's Right....AFRICA!!
James had a "safe job" behind a desk that gave him a steady paycheck, but that wasn't enough. He clearly has a calling, and he has stopped at nothing to follow it including picking up and moving to California and then eventually mustering up the "intestinal fortitude" (thanks for that one James) to co-create his own company.
He now lives a minimalist lifestlye, but still is ablel to do the things that he loves like travel and even take snowboarding trips.

Passion For Work
04/27/15 • 33 min
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!!!
17. Personal Fitness Empire creator Justin Woltering
Passion For Work
04/19/15 • 41 min
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).

11. Ian The Inspiring Teacher
Passion For Work
02/27/15 • 36 min
Being a teacher is easy, right? You get summers off, great benefits, snow days, a pension, you even get out early...so what's not to like, right?!?!
If these are the only reasons that you think being a teahcer would be the perfect career, then you are in the right place. It is a career just like any other and it comes with its own sets of challenges including the following:
You need to be on top of your game at all times. Don't you remember when you were still in grade school? You always knew when your teachers were a bit off their game and we all know the kids who would exploit it. On top of that, not all children are as excited thas you might be about the subject you are teaching. Trying to inspire them to want to learn is a challenge.
Want to plan a mid year vacation? You better rethink that one. Most public school teachers don't have the luxury of being able to take prolonged vacation time during the year. Week Long Skiing trips in mid January, probably not.
Ian Teaches 5 classes with only 80 minutes in between to prep, grade, stretch and try to eat lunch. On top of that, he takes on extra curricular activites which makes for longer days.
Maybe that doesn't sound as great as I thought it would be. So why does he do it? HE LOVES IT!! Talk about "Passion For Work" (great time to plug the show name). Ian finds satisfaction in helping his students learn, which is not always easy. Especially when after getting to know a class of children for 9-10 months and watching them grow, you then have to start all over. But for him it is worth it. This is Ian's outlet to express his creativity, which makes it a great fit on top of loving a lot of the subject matter.
Must have qualities include:
• Creativity
• Patience
• Love of most of the material as well as the students that you teach
• Finding value and fullfilment from helping others grow
What do to if you want to explore becoming a teacher:
• Substitute teach to get some experience
◦ You only need 60 college credits to substitue teach
• Ask a friend who is a teacher
• Explore Alternate Route program in your state for those who may have a degree and already be in a field other than teaching
• If Compensation is important to you, public school teachers salaries (at least in NJ) are public knowledge and you will be able to gain access to that information.
Ian closed with a great quote:
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the igniting of a fire." ~ William Buttler Yeats
