Between life and death Confession of a stuntman

Ian B. Jamieson was born 11 June 1952 in a small town in Australia in a family of a baker. He was prophesied the life of a disabled person due to many accidents throughout his childhood. But he survived and became a stuntman. A businessman, a book writer, a film producer, a stuntman who set a world record that has never been beaten. In this interview Ian shares his secrets and life wisdom about life, business, risk, time and success. What made him succeed in Bunjee business. How he performed his world famous stunts that make many people hair stands on end even when they hear about it. How to survive big money and glory and stay yourself. From time to time I got chill through my body listening to Ian’s extraordinary stories about his ups and downs in life and business, tremendous success and accidents at stunts when he was about to die and I recommend you to apply his experience to your business.
