WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Got a dream career in mind, but afraid to pursue it? Worried about risking it all only to fail, especially in a sluggish economy?
Motivational speaker and career advice guru Josh Shipp has just one word for you: QUIT. And he's here to help folks do it on JUMP SHIPP, the all-new weekly reality series premiering October 21 at 9 pm, ET/PT on Halogen TV.
Each half-hour episode finds Josh intervening with a talented young adult who wants to transition from their lackluster livelihood into their dream job, but they don't know where to begin. Josh steps in by hijacking a potential "jumper" and dropping them into a series of dream job-training challenges to prepare them for what could lie ahead. He then presents them with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the leap and follow their aspirations.
No matter the goal or the hurdle, viewers will be inspired when real people get a shot at their dreams and decide to JUMP SHIPP. Throughout this emotional process, Josh shows that quitting isn't for losers, as long as you have a plan and a goal. In fact, sometimes it's the only way to get the life you've always wanted.
Since following his dream over a decade ago, Josh has become a popular motivational guru and best-selling author who addresses audiences from teens and twenty-something's to Ivy League academics and Fortune 500 executives. He was named to INC. Magazine's "30 Under 30: America's Coolest Young Entrepreneurs" in 2009, and has been seen on MTV, CNN, NBC, FOX, and Comedy Central, as well as profiled in numerous media outlets.
During his early life experiences of growing up in the foster care system and being bounced from one abusive environment to another, Josh learned that no matter what obstacles you encounter, it is possible to achieve your dreams.
