"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want." --Margaret Young

Interviews with Passionate Professionals

A year after receiving his accounting degree, Brett Farmiloe already was tired of his 9-to-5 days stuffed inside a cubicle. He found his job boring, unrewarding and just plain miserable. So, the 22-year-old entrepreneur is trying to change that -- not only for himself, but also for millions of others. Farmiloe and three friends are about to embark on their second cross-country road trip to document what makes people passionate about their careers. Their interviews with some 200 people will be featured online. After launching this year's Pursue the Passion tour from Phoenix, the crew will drive to more than 30 cities in 90 days, interviewing "passionate professionals" along the way."We're people that need advice for our career direction," Farmiloe said. "We see the importance of spreading that advice as far as we can take it."
