I’ve done plenty of odd jobs in my life, more than my fair share. They took me to places I never would have gone, they allowed me to relate to people I never would have related to, and most importantly, they taught me the art of storytelling. That’s how I fell in love with advertising. Here are a few examples of some of those jobs that have helped shape me into who I am today:
- Beach boy in Cannes (included seating elderly British women/men, and applying sunscreen to their wrinkled bodies)
- Intermediate soccer coach (provided ceaseless moral support to 10 year old kids no matter how bad their foot skills actually were)
- Waiter at local restaurant (included dealing with pompous customers who thought that our chicken chop chop salad was actually worth the exuberant amount of money they were spending for it)
