Ep 74 - The Reinvention of Reverend Dave: Banker, Big Four Taxi Driver & Celebrant

In this week's episode, we sit down with Reverend Dave for a conversation about reinvention, purpose and carving out a meaningful second act. Dave began his career in the banking industry, moved into one of the Big Four professional services firms, then once again shifted — driving a taxi and ultimately discovering his calling as a celebrant, officiating weddings and helping people mark the major moments in life.

In this episode, we explore:

• The catalyst that made Dave realise banking and big professional services weren’t for him — and how he took the leap into something totally new.

• Why he chose to drive a taxi as a transitional chapter: what he learned about people, purpose and listening.

• His journey from taxi-driver to celebrant: how he discovered the world of officiating and decided to “marry people for a living.”

• An insider’s look into the growing profession of celebrancy: how more people are choosing this path, what training and certification look like (including insights from organisations like FuturFaith), and what it takes to build a thriving celebrant business.

• The lessons Dave has taken from his corporate days, the taxi dash and now in his celebrant practice — and how listeners can apply them, whether they’re thinking of a career switch or seeking deeper meaning in what they do.

Whether you’re at the start of your career, contemplating a change, or simply curious about the unexplored world of celebrancy, this conversation offers real-life insight, practical take-aways and a dose of boldness to help you reimagine what work can be.
