We were lucky to catch up with Stephen Tucker recently and have shared our conversation below.
Stephen, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
I get my resilience from perspective. It’s easy to get caught in a negative perspective when things are not working out. Change your perspective, maintain your positivity, and keep pushing towards your goal.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I think the most impactful qualities I have learned along my journey is to follow your bliss, stay consistent and maintain perspective. If you are just starting out, try to figure out how to get paid to follow your bliss or to do your dream job. Perhaps you will have to do it for free for awhile, but stay consistent and build your skill. Maybe you will even have to invent the need to be able to do your dream job. Be consistent, keep at it. Along the way, you will get pushed down many times, but keep getting up and maintain your perspective.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
The books and studies from scholar Joseph Campbell have been very helpful for me spiritually and professionally. In cinema, light is truth. Every story is unique and has its own path of light that needs to be expressed. Joseph Campbell is a beacon of light for anyone working in story telling or searching for spiritual meaning.
