Job Tales - I interview professionals to help you become who you wish to be – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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!

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. 

Welcome to Job Tales: the show where we find out about various professions from around the world. Each week I speak to a new guest with a very interesting job.
