From : Bigg Success
Today, we welcomed Sean Aiken to The Bigg Success Show. Sean graduated from college a little over a year ago but didn t know what he wanted to do. So he decided to work a different job every week for one year. In the process, he raised over $20,000 for charity. His journey has been covered by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp, The New York Times, Good Morning America, Radio France, The Australian Radio Network, and too many more to mention. . . Sean, you went from being a college graduate to having had more jobs than just about anyone I know. And you did it all in a year! . Exactly! That was the problem when I graduated I didn t know which job I wanted. My dad gave me some advice my last year of college that stuck with me. He said it didn t matter what I did as long as it was something I was passionate about. So not knowing where those passions lie, I came up with the idea to go out and try out a whole bunch of different jobs to see what I like and don t like about different careers. Then I could make a better choice. So I started my web site, OneWeekJob.com, and said that anyone anywhere in the world could offer me a job for one week. Then I would go around for a year and do all these different jobs. It worked out pretty well. . Now, at any point, did your dad say I told you to find your passion, but this is crazy? . . Definitely! When I first thought up the idea, and I told him, he asked if I was kidding him and said I should get a real job I told him it was his fault! . So you basically lived kind of like a vagabond through the generosity of the people in the town that you were working in, you would have a place to stay? . Yeah, people following along on the web site would e-mail to offer a place to stay if I came to their town. Oftentimes, I d stay with my employer. About Week 5 into the project, a job search engine, nicejob.ca, came on board to sponsor the project they helped out with some travel expenses as well. . Let s say you were working a job in Arizona and your next job offer was in San Francisco? How would you make it to your different locations? . It always changed. Sometimes by bus, sometimes hitchhiking, sometimes flying. That was a bigg aspect to the project trying to manage all the logistics. There was a period where I was in Denver, Colorado and then I was back in Vancouver for the weekend en route to Hawaii. These are all consecutive weeks. Then on to Los Angeles, then New York, Florida, Wyoming to be a cowboy, and then on to Washington, D.C. . Out of all the jobs you ve had, what was your favorite, Sean? . . I have maybe a top five. When I was in Hawaii, I was a volcano park ranger. A fashion buyer in New York was really cool, and an advertising executive. I also worked with the Canadian Air Force, and I got to fly a helicopter and a military transport plane. That was a great experience as well. Also a cancer fundraiser I really enjoyed that job. . So do you think that you ve found your passion? . . Is dad happy yet that s what we really want to know? . . I think that going out and trying to find my passion has almost turned into a job all by itself; it s kind of turned into a passion all by itself in that, it s helped and inspired others to go after their passions. Now I m writing a book about the experience that will be out in the Spring of 2009. So I ll be doing that for awhile, as well as talks. It actually might become a TV show. I m working on a documentary, so this is going to keep me busy for the next few years. . And there s a way for people to help you get this documentary done? . . My best friend, Ian MacKenzie, came out on the road with me, starting in about Week 19 or so. We started filming video episodes about what I was learning, interviewing my employers, and talking about getting from job to job. So we re putting it all together into a documentary now. We re asking for help in raising funds for that. People can become a producer if they re willing to donate an hour of their wage. Anyway who donates will be a producer of the film and their name will appear in the end credits. . What I love is that you ve created your own job, your own role, your own space by doing this. That s all right, Sean. . Now tell your dad that! We re impressed by what you ve done. It s so interesting such a cool story. Thanks so much, Sean, for spending some time with us today! .

A short film made for the 2008 My Victoria competition at the Victoria Film Festival that screened earlier this week. I m tossing into my film-of-the-week collection, because it was, in fact, made within a week (2 days actually, in December.) I was just too busy this week doing a vlog for the festival, and I had to wait until the contest was over before before I could post it. Participants were asked to create a 1 minute video about what living in the Capital means to them, how it affects or influences their lives, or what they feel is unique to living here. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video The film stars Darryl Tamney, Ishe Barrett and John Davis. The Music is by Rozalind MacPhail, from her album Edgework. It was Shot on a Bolex and hand-processed. Unfortunately, Waiting didn t win anything. But another film I did for the contest, called Victim of an Evil Seductress won the Capital History Award. Once the dust settles I ll probably post that too. And CineVic, our local Film Co-op gave me a couple rolls of old expired colour 16mm film, that I m going to learn how to hand-process. So the weekly excercises will get a little more colourful. Woohoo!

Happy Go Lovely is an easygoing and whimsical story of a hitchhiking young girl who becomes an entertainment sensation, literally, overnight. The film is a time capsuled peek at Edinburgh, Scotland in the 40s, and also a first-rate musical. In Happy Go Lovely, viewers are treated to the spectacular talents of Vera-Ellen, one of the very best dancers in the history of Hollywood and a fine actress. Usually costarring with Fred Astaire, Vera-Ellen does the lion s share of the performing in this film and that s a good thing. Vera-Ellen plays a single hitchhiker who happens to be picked up by the limousine of a millionaire and taken to a high society film festival. While at the festival, Vera-Ellen dazzles the crowds with her incredible performances. Happy Go Lovely is aptly named, since audiences are lucky to get to see the lovely Vera-Ellen strut her stuff. ]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:26:24 -0500 Happy Go Lovely with Vera-Ellen, Classic Movie Musical DVD 5798102 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/episode-37-day-176-got-work/5798102/

Show #84 Release date: 11. May, 2007 Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking was Waters' first solo project and tour. Original demos were done at the same time as The Wall demos were made and when presented to the band the others rejected Pros And Cons in favor of The Wall. Its about a series of dreams about a guy dealing with a mid-life crisis in a motel room. Sound familiar? We go back to 22. July 1984 at The Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Before we dive into Pros And Cons, we start this podcast off with three tracks from the Syd Barrett, Madcap's Last Laugh tribute show last night (10. May 2007) at London's Barbican Centre. Roger Waters performs Flickering Flame. David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason perform Arnold Layne. We'll also hear all the artists (except Roger Waters) cap off the evening with Bike.
