It was great to spend a week at home over the Christmas holiday with family and friends. My cousin asked me at Christmas dinner how long I would be in town for. “I am programmed to do everything for only one week,” I said.
My first job of the New Year will be working [...]

Here’s Sean’s week as a Photographer in Manhattan with James Carman. Be sure to visit his website!

Thanks to some Chinese ointment that Robert gave me, my legs recovered rather quickly from my week spent at Dojang Studios. Most weeks I find myself in somewhat intimidating positions; continually learning something new and taking on a profession in which I have had no prior experience. It’s rather humbling, and I must say that [...]

I had a feeling that I would be sore after this week, though I guess I didn’t expect to be quite this sore only after a couple days.
I suppose that I am beginning to feel the result of having been on the road for some time now and not been exercising. Robert, the co-owner [...]

This week I will be working as a Martial Arts Instructor at Dojang Studios in Vancouver, BC.
Dojang combines numerous forms and styles from the traditional and modern combative arts and is defined as ‘a place to study the way.’ The founders of Dojang are Robert & Emma Lynds and they opened up the studio [...]

It was a tonne of information to absorb this week, though my liver handled it quite well.
It’s amazing how easily Pat and Matt at Two Mountain Winery can distinguish between different varieties and vintages. There is definitely a lingo that is associated with the wine world and the ability to articulate even the slightest [...]

The long wait is over! Here’s Sean’s week as a Fashion Buyer in Manhattan. Sorry it took a while to complete this episode; there was quite a lot of information and footage from this week, so it was definitely a challenge. But hopefully, at over 11 minutes of goodness, it was worth [...]

In case you missed it, here’s Sean’s segment from Good Morning America broadcast on November 23. Enjoy!

I arrived in the Yakima Valley region two nights ago. On the plane, they warned us that due to weather conditions we might have to turn around and head back to Seattle, WA, though fortunately we made it.
I was also advised on the plane by a Yakima local that the wines of the Yakima [...]

I received an email last week from John Cooper of the Yakima Valley Visitors Bureau who was excited to bring me out to the region to learn the craft of making wines.
I always wanted to learn more about the wine making process. So, this week I find myself in Yakima, WA where I will [...]

One thing that continues to amaze me about One Week Job is the incredible people I meet and relationships that I make along the way.
Complete strangers openly welcome us into their homes and treat us just like another member of the family. It’s remarkable how in just one week, it is possible to develop [...]

A local news crew dropped by Sweet Tomatoes this week. They were pretty funny and produced quite the quirky video. They refer to me as both Seth and Sean in the same piece. Only on the Cape!
Here it is:

They say everything happens for a reason. Perhaps we weren’t supposed to get on that plane to Florida Tuesday morning, and instead we were meant to come to Osterville Cape Cod. I don’t know. I can say though, I am glad we are here.
I had received an email from Irene and Darren (Sweet Tomatoes Pizza) [...]

Today, Sean and I woke up early. We packed our bags, and stole out into the crisp Manhattan morning, bidding goodbye to our sanctuary for the past 3 weeks.
I hailed a taxi, and we rode out to La Guardia airport as the sun rose behind billowing grey clouds. The plan was to head [...]

Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, gave the 2005 commencement speech for Stanford University. It is quite insightful and I think re-assuring to those who find themselves in a similar situation to myself.
You can find the entire speech here:
Watch it or Read it
Here are [...]
