How to build a career of dream jobs in media, content and digital technology with Danny Keens | EP26
Summary: <p><span class="ql-font-serif">Dream Job Ready Episode 26: Danny Keens (Content Acquisition, Production, Programming and Distribution expert). </span></p><p><em class="ql-font-serif">"Circumstance and opportunity collided.”</em><span class="ql-font-serif"> That was Danny’s response when I asked him how he got his dream job (Senior Vice President, Content, Production & Programming) at Next VR. </span></p><p><span class="ql-font-serif">It's a great story, but it's also supported by hard work, focus and passion, which Danny talks about plenty in the episode. </span></p><p><span class="ql-font-serif">Danny started his career in Australia with the Nine Network after completing a Bachelor of Arts at Charles Sturt University. He left Nine for ESPN and then eventually left TV for Technology, landing a dream job at Twitter in New York in 2014 (Head of Sports Partnerships). </span></p><p><em class="ql-font-serif">"At the time, no I didn’t think twice about it. It felt right. It felt like the right move at the right time. The right group of people, the right industry to be in, the right challenge. But in reflection, I don’t know where I found the courage to do it, because now as we talk about it I look back and most people would say I’m crazy but I’m so thankful I did it because it’s been a really great journey." </em></p><p><span class="ql-font-serif">As well as taking advice from Danny's career journey, I ask him plenty in the interview about getting work, making the right job changes and being a great employee. </span></p><p><em class="ql-font-serif">"The best employees are the ones that have a can-do attitude and get the job done. I like to surround myself with people who don’t just tell you about the problem, they tell you how they’re going to solve the problem." </em><span class="ql-font-serif"> </span></p><p><span class="ql-font-serif">Enjoy the episode and please contact me via </span><a href="https://open.acast.com/shows/5e9477627a48fca11415cf7d/episodes/dreamjobreadypodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-font-serif">Email</a><span class="ql-font-serif"> with any feedback: dreamjobreadypodcast@gmail.com </span></p><p><span class="ql-font-serif">Want to connect with Danny?
