#169 Africa Safari Expert - The Job Tale of Jaco Beukman Artwork

Job Tales - I interview professionals to help you become who you wish to be

During our lifetime, on average, we spend 90’000 hours, meaning 11'250 days, or 30 years working: that is one third of our life. Some of us have a clear idea of what they want to do, from the very beginning; some take a path and then change, some change all the time, some fall into a job by chance and love it; others hate their job but feel stuck and can’t move. Often dissatisfaction at work causes much pain, sadness and frustration. But have you ever spent enough time to value all your options, before you pick a career? Do you know that there are thousands of possible careers awaiting you out there?That is the goal of my podcast: you will find dozens of jobs as they are told on my mic by people like you and me, from around the world. You will be astonished by the number of jobs you would have never thought existed. I hope this will help you make the right choice in life, I hope it will give you inspiration when you are undecided of your career path, and courage to change if you feel stuck.Enjoy and reach out to me for any comment or proposal.Sincerely,Laura LeonciniJob Tales Podcast

#169 Africa Safari Expert - The Job Tale of Jaco Beukman

August 17, 2024 • Laura Leoncini • Season 4 • Episode 169

This is Job Tales: the show where we find out about different professions from the people « who know ». My name is Laura Leoncini and each week I’ll speak to a new guest with an inspiring job.

I met Jaco Beukman several years ago at a hike in South Africa. Back then I could tell that he loved the outdoors and photography. Years later, Jaco is a successful safari expert and organises bespoke trips for a selected clientele. He had to work hard to get there, and in this episode of Job Tales he shares with us the steps that took him to where he is now.
