In this episode we speak with Dr. Sam Heads, a paleontologist and the founding Director and Curator-in-Charge at the Center for Paleontology at the University of Illinois. As Sam himself says, he’s the kid that never grew up. At age 5 he was walking on a beach collecting seashells and pebbles in northern England with his father when he saw something interesting in one of the seashells. He asked his father about it and when his dad explained to him that it was a fossil which was likely hundreds of millions of years old, Sam was hooked! He decided then and there that this was his passion!
As Sam grew older, he began to take action on his dreams. He explored what the path to actually becoming a paleontologist looked like and once he mapped it out, as he said, “I had that target and that goal set in my sights and I just did it.” If you know me, you know I love that mentality!
As a result of his hard work, Sam now gets to live out his passion as a full-time career. From travelling the world and visiting 6 of the 7 continents to discovering new species of insects and working with interesting people, Sam is truly an example of living our your Dream Vocation.
This is an incredibly interesting interview about a career that I think most of us know very little about so if you’re interested in learning something new and hearing from someone who exudes passion about their career, you’ll love this one. Give it a listen!
