This week we join AJ Paratore, professional stuntman, for a conversation about taking risks, how a life risking profession makes you zen calm about the small stuff, and professional hustle. AJ is a stuntman, ninja warrior, romance author, and part-time pirate. We discuss his journey from college dropout, to craigslist stuntman, to a professional career and work on shows such as Blacklist, FBI and Homeland.

Topics include finding work you love, adapting to new challenges and opportunities, persistence, hustle, and what it takes to work in one of the most dangerous professions.
