Remember those early days when my friends thought I was crazy for doing this project? Now you can relive the whole experience at once!

100 Jobs 1 Year YouTube Playlist

By the way, now’s the time to follow thisisdavestumblr, my personal Tumblr, and follow my 2013 project 10,000 Kevins. Like I said before, this project’s over, so I won’t be posting from it so much anymore.

Follow my personal Tumblr and pursue your own goals this year!

Do you want to change something about your life, career, or craft? Here’s how to make a goal and get it done.

Since my 100 Jobs 1 Year project is over, I won’t be blogging on my 100 Jobs 1 Year page as much anymore.

So please follow my personal page!

My 100 Jobs 1 Year story has been appearing not only on NBC, but in New Jersey’s Asbury Park Press, Macedonia, and Croatia!

Headline literally translates to “Swapped 100 jobs for a year!”

For those of you unfamiliar with Central New Jersey’s biggest newspaper, you may remember it from Clerks.

Wow! This actually happened.

…are silly. Face it, if you wanted to change, you wouldn’t wait til a specific date to do so.

But because so many of you are inspired by this recent goal that ended in the most fantastic way possible, I’ll share some current goals and how I’ll get there.

Here are my goals for 2013:

• Work out at the gym three times per week (already doing that)
• Create one new YouTube comedy video per week: 40 vlogs and 12 sketches
• Write one comedy article per week
• Launch and follow through with the 10,000 Kevins project
• Memorize the Gospel of John (already over 10% finished)

I have some financial goals to save money and donate, but would rather not go into specifics on that.

Why these goals?

Friends have started to ask me how this whole thing happened regarding my segments on the Today Show and the New Year’s Eve Show on NBC. Below I’m going to recount the story. If you’re looking for general answers about my project, visit the FAQs page. And although I’d enjoy telling you all this story individually, there just isn’t enough time in the world for that. So here it goes:

A week before Christmas, I got an email from a friend at NBC’s Today Show saying she pitched my idea, and they loved it! She’d known about my project since its inception in December 2011, and wanted to wait til the right time to pitch it.

When she contacted me the next day asking if I’d be available for an interview on Wednesday the 26th, I was speechless for three minutes! My roommate kept asking me what was wrong.

That Friday, the producer called me and we talked for a half our about the project, and went over call times and the car service. I told some family and friends the news, but asked them not to post on social media til Monday the 24th so the excitement would still be fresh for the 26th.
