Great interview. People who think “outside the box” (hate to use a cliche, but there it is) like that are incredible. I personally am approximately 87.3% conformist, as much as I hate to admit it, but even so stories like these fascinate me. Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea. I will look forward to the book. I’ve worked at many different jobs in my life. People can be very judgemental of someone who hasn’t taken the route of picking a job and staying with it through thick or thin for 20+ years. The only thing I did for anywhere near that long was exotic dancing. And there I could travel, make my own bookings, and work someplace different every week (in fact, that was “normal” for that “job”) Sean is absolutely right about choosing a job you love. My philosophy was you spend too much of your life at work to do something you hate.

I’m amazed at what Sean was able to accomplish and am looking forward to his book next year. His idea is a great way to meet people you otherwise never would and learn about the different lives they lead, what they do and their perspectives on life. It’s inspiring.

Love it! This is a fantastic idea. It’s always refreshing to see people who think so far outside the box. I find it challenges me to not get stuck inside it.

That has to be a persona triumph- knowing that you are wiling to try all those situations. Sean certainly has a great attitude and gift toward life. This type of article couldn’t have found a home other than TAON for being equally unselfish and aware. Enjoyable!
