About this listen

Cool People. Cool Jobs. At Project Labor, we’ve got both.


Project Labor podcast celebrates the daily grind by diving deep into the lives and careers of people doing interesting work.


Each episode asks the essential questions: What do you actually do all day? How do you feel about your work? And how’d you get here?


In honest, in depth conversations, we talk to everyone from union tradespeople, artists, small business owners, and daring career changers.


Join us in building a living catalog of the modern American workplace.


Whether you’re a student imagining your first step, a career changer looking for a fresh start, or just somebody curious about the reality faced by workers today, we’re going to shine a light on the daily life, passion, and dignity that make up labor today. Come for the stories; stay for the solidarity.

    Dec 31 2025

    Have you ever wondered what's it like to be a tattoo artist and how do you become one?

    Our first episode profiles Nassim (Sema) Dayoub, a New York City-based tattoo artist. He discusses the journey and craft of an artist today, as well as fighting racial injustice, economic woes, and the effects of COVID-19. Check out the book he mentions. He co-owns Flower World Tattoo, a worker-owned tattoo shop in Brooklyn. He is a writer, painter and fighter always striving for a better world.

    Discussion Questions:

    • What surprised you about the work of a tattoo artist?
    • What other jobs have permanent effects?
    • How would your job change if it were worker-owned, without bosses? What would you do to handle problems?
    • How can you think like Nassim and make your own job more sustainable?
