Publisher's summary
Warning: Listening to this book may result in injury, death, life-changing adventures, and financial freedom. Do not continue listening if you aren’t willing to risk your life for the art of entertainment. However if you are ready, continue to "read more" below.
OK, so if you’ve made it this far, welcome to the exciting, exhilarating, and entertaining world of stunts. A society hidden in plain sight and filled with renegades and misfits. A culture of incredible individuals that work as a team and risk everything to create lives worth living. And for doing so they get to be immortalized in the mind-blowing cinema they help to create. Stunt performers are not only the most humble individuals I know; they are also easily the most talented and hard-working people that I’ve been lucky enough to be around throughout my life. If you decide that this is truly something you want to be a part of, then I would love to be one of the first to welcome you to the stunt industry. Now, let’s change your life....
In this book, I will teach you how to become a stunt performer regardless of your looks or your current skill level. If you are someone who doesn’t want to work a boring job, hates the idea of sitting at a desk all day working for someone else, and would rather get paid to have fun, learn new skills, and help in the creation of blockbuster films, then this book is right for you. I will show you where to get started, how to land your first major job, and give you all the tools, tips, and secret tricks that you’ll need to turn your dream into a reality through practical steps that have worked for myself, as well as the award-winning and top-notch stunt performers that I’ve interviewed to create this book.

Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, rejection, and doubt. If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.

Generation after generation, women have faced the devastating reality that Hollywood is a system built to keep them out. The films created by that system influence everything from our worldviews to our brain chemistry. When women's voices are excluded from the medium, the impact on society is immense. Actor, screenwriter, and award-winning independent filmmaker Naomi McDougall Jones takes us inside the cutthroat, scandal-laden film industry, where only five percent of top studio films are directed by women and less than 20 percent of leading characters in mainstream films are female.

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

I Finally Found It!!
I have been searching for a long time for something like this. I have known about Jesse La Flair since I was a kid watching parkour videos on YouTube and only recently learned in the past year or so that he's been in the industry doing stunts for sometime now. The information in this book will be instrumental in beginning my journey as a stunt performer! You'll find information in this book that you won't get anywhere else, because it simply doesn't exist. The stunt performer world is so tight and secretive about how a lot of things work, and Jesse brought a lot of those things to light in the greatest way!! I'm so greatful that I stumbled upont this book and Mr. La Flair's how to become a stuntman program! Thank you so much Jesse!!
