This week, Sean Aiken of the One Week Job Project talks to us about the importance of finding your passion. After not knowing in which direction to turn after graduating from college, Sean started the One Week Job Project, working 52 jobs in 52 weeks. The year long research/adventure spawned a book and a movie and after traveling around the last few years speaking to and inspiring mainly high school students, Sean is currently working with educators to develop an innovative, engaging, and inspiring curriculum incorporating the One Week Job book and documentary film. Shortly after graduating from college, Sean made a promise to himself: "I will not settle for a career that I am not truly passionate about, I will not allow yearning for weekends and the illustrious two week vacation a year to define my life, I will be in a positive work place situation and I will love what I am doing." Sean made a promise for passion and thinks you should make that same promise today. Join me every Wednesday at 6:30 eastern for a quick half hour inspiring interview.

In 2009, she was honored to be chosen as Google’s Spokesperson for Small Business Success! She has been featured on the Food Network, in O Magazine, Black Enterprise, Time Out New York, to name a few, as well as New York Magazine’s Editors Pick and Nickelodeon’s Parents Pick.

Leave Law Behind is a blog and community focused on one thing: Helping unhappy attorneys leave the law. It’s for disgruntled attorneys who want to leave law altogether; for lawyers who enjoy their work but want to change their day-to-day work routine or career trajectory; and for attorneys who simply want to explore other businesses and ventures on the side. Founded by Casey Berman, a 1999 graduate of University of California Hastings, Leave Law Behind is where attorneys can learn to expand beyond or outright leave their current legal practice in order to start a business, create an enjoyable lifestyle and to feel cool about themselves all over again. Join us every Wednesday on Vibrance Radio at 6:30 eastern for a quick half hour inspiring interview with someone who is living their passion and thriving. www.vibranceradio.com
This week's special guest is Andy Smallman who will speak to us about finding that inner spark, turning it into passion and loving the life that follows. On his journey to becoming a teacher, Andy Smallman, founder of the Puget Sound Community School, found that the way he wanted to work with young people was not possible in any school setting he observed.
"Teachers were extensions of boring textbooks. And students were being trained to be passive vessels, treated like mindless products on an antiquated assembly line."
So he started a school, the Seattle-based Puget Sound Community School in which the basis is kindness and the students are free to choose what they want to learn. In other words, no required academics. In this way, students build on their strengths which nurtures their intrinsic motivation. The school is personalized to bring out the best in each individual student.
In Andy's words, "I tell people that attending PSCS is like being in a healthy family. The role of the adults is to create a structure and provide a setting that allows healthy human development to take place. The staff, then, do what good parents do. We see to it that our students are in a loving, supportive environment and then we provide them opportunities."
"Supportive Environment + Interesting People = Healthy Students. It's what I do for a living. And along with loving my family, it's what I do for a life." Join me every Wednesday at 6:30 eastern for a quick half hour inspiring interview.
