How Life Works

“(How life REALLY works - Sex, Lies & Red Tape)”

A live presentation by adventurer, writer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur Jack Turner (Durango, CO), is a thoughtful look at any career where the primary focus isn’t money. It’s for folks who have chosen a path they love.

Each presentation is customized with messages and photos specific to the audience.

Executives and employees in the recreational industry, health care, education and other “higher callings” will enjoy messages that range from lighthearted to the serious. During his 45-minute presentation approximately 150 images are shown to keep the audience entertained and showcase the beauty (and humor) of life of service.

This program is best suited for large gatherings, especially at events designed to build teamwork, motivation, and commitment to a lifestyle. It is carefully crafted to appeal to long-term, experienced professionals as well as rookies. It’s perfect for the “Let’s re-energize” event.

While there are serious messages about teamwork, safety, risk, and other issues important to many professions, the presentation is really about perspective – “Don’t take yourself too seriously, remember to have fun, and be thankful for your chosen line of work.”
