On the Road to a Passionate Career
"I've never met so many banjo players in my life!" Brett Farmiloe
 Brett Farmiloe Upon graduating college in 2006, Brett conceived of the idea that eventually became the Pursue the Passion roadtrip. As the founder of PTP, his goal is to create and develop resources that help individuals identify their passions. He also hopes to assist people in pursuing work they love. On the tour, Brett conducts interviews, writes about them on the Journey Blog, and steers the Pursue The Passion team in the right direction.
Questions Peter Clayton asked Brett Farmiloe in this podcast:
Tell us about PTP – How did you dream this idea up?
So you bought an RV, and planned a road trip..
You got a sponsor, Jobing.com? How did you pull that off?
Who else is involved with PTP?
How do you find people to interview?
What have you learned about passion?
What have you learned about career choices most people have made?
Quoting from your blog on effective storytelling, referencing Freytag’s Pyramid…
The Inciting Moment is where a story starts. It does not necessarily mean the moment we are born, but it is the moment where we consciously decide to go in a new direction. It takes guts, confidence, and oftentimes, a little bit of luck to have one of these moments. I know because for the past two years, I have studied the turning points of about 250 people while experiencing a few of my own.
What have been some of your inciting moments?
Who are some of the most memorable people you’ve interviewed?
What advice do you give your friends when they discuss career options with you?
What about people who say they don't know what their passion is? Do you have any suggestions for them?
What’s next for PTP?
