On the Job Podcast S3:E8 – More Than A Job: The Story of Jim Laurita

Check out the latest episode of Express Employment Professionals’ On the Job podcast!

How can a job become more than a job? Sometimes a job becomes an identity and a legacy through all the people your job touches. How you live on through the people you know and had an effect on. This is the story of an elephant trainer and activist, Jim Laurita, who died a few years ago. Jim was adored by the community and started an organization called “Hope for Elephants” to help rehab hurt elephants and educate the community. When he died mysteriously, the community was devastated. This story is told through Jim’s family, friends, and fellow trainers—an extraordinary person doing an extraordinary job, and the legacy he left behind.
