I don’t think I can overstate how excited I am about this project. Amtrekker was a non-stop adventure of immense proportions that spanned almost a year and a half and gave me the opportunity to collect experiences like most people collect, well…paychecks. And at first glance even I’d be forced to admit that it would be pretty tough to top that kind of adventure.

But here’s what REALLY gets me excited: the unknown.

Hang gliding

With Amtrekker I had a clearly defined set of goals, an unlimited amount of time and a video camera. In at least one respect I knew exactly what was going to happen. I was going to go hang gliding, I was going to milk a cow on an Amish farm and, somehow, I was going to tell Donald Trump he was fired. Not only that but I was going to get as much of it on tape as possible and I would do my best to make compelling videos despite my “office” often being a crowded seat on a greyhound bus in the middle of the night.

This time things are completely different. There are no boundaries, no limits. I could be landscaping a golf course in Scotland, going back to the design world in LA or cleaning giant rock heads with a toothbrush on Easter Island for all I know. And no matter where I go, or what I do, it will be a new experience in a new place where I can make an impact regardless of whether it’s in a corporate setting or in the great outdoors.

Equally exciting is the idea that I will be in one place for an extended length of time with enough dollars to do better than my best when it comes to making compelling video content. No more calling a project done because my laptop is about to run out of battery and I’m cruising down a forgotten one-lane highway in Montana with no hope of an outlet for another 24 hours. (Unless of course the winner of this little contest happens to be whatever Montana transportation authority is in charge of back roads.)

AND, although there are great stories everywhere and I’ve yet to have a job that wouldn’t have made for an interesting series of short documentary videos, I’ve hedged my bets by letting you guys have a say in which position wins out. The jobs YOU think will be most interesting to get an inside look at will be the ones that make up the final 10!

Too exciting.

So, here’s to the unknown and here goes nothing…

I’m done.
