Do Fly

Find your way. Make a living. Be your best self.

Gavin Strange

Do work you love. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But the reality can be quite different. Whether you're just starting out or ready to head in a new direction, you're going to need some help turning your natural skills into success-seeking missiles of radness.

On hand is Gavin Strange, a creative working by night under the moniker JamFactory and, by day, at Aardman Animations – the Academy Award-winning studio behind Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep.

With advice, encouragement and a reminder that life’s too short to not pursue your passion, whatever your age or position - whether you're a recent school leaver, a graduate, a team leader or the actual CEO, Do Fly will inspire you to:

  • Change your perspective and revamp your mindset
  • Develop creative side projects
  • Stay optimistic and resilient
  • Discover skills and passions you never knew you had!

Do Fly is your all-in-one guide, ticket and passport to a new destination. Are you ready for take off?

Reviews

A unique formula for self-motivation, staying passionate, and striking that often elusive balance between paying the bills and enjoying life to the creative max. A gem of a book.

Inky Goodness

A light-hearted and hilarious guide packed full of lessons on how to discover your passion, turn it into something that supports you and dedicate 100% of your time to doing what you love. A frank, hip hop lyric-peppered self help book for people who don’t read self help books.

Do Fly book trailer

To celebrate the release of my book, I wanted to make a short film. I collaborated with my friend and drone camera specialist Rob Anthill to present a top-down view of the world whilst our fragile yet plucky paper aeroplane makes its way on its journey!
