Pursue the Passion interviewed Javier Correra Jr. of Sombrero Mexican Food.

Four recent college grads hopped in an RV and traveled across America to interview people about how to find passion in work.  16,000 miles, 38 states, and over 300 interviews later, they’ve collected the secrets to finding a job you’ll love from those who have accomplished the feat.  This video is the trailer for the book and documentary that will be released sometime in 2009.    

Brett Farmiloe and Zach Hubbell, co-founders of Pursue the Passion, deliver keynote speeches to students, HR professionals, and companies about how to bring out passion in work.  Their presentations are based on a 16,000 mile, 38 state road trip they took where they interviewed over 300 professionals about how they found a job they love.  Watch the trailer of them speaking and call Brett at (602) 405-4390 for more information about how to bring their passion and insight to your next conference. 

Half of the American workforce is unhappy with their job. Four recent college grads didn't want to find themselves casualties of this statistic. They decided to cruise around the country in an RV and interview people who did love their job to figure out what they were doing that 75 million Americans weren't. This is a video of how the Pursue the Passion project got its start. For more information, log on to www.pursuethepassion.com.
