Name and Occupation

Positive. Apolitical. Independent.

Founded by André Quesnel, NAO launched in 2019 as a video series built around one question: what is your name and occupation?

The name comes from The Doors of Perception — opening doors to cultures, stories, and lives being lived around the world. Real people. No agenda. No spin. Just truth documented with respect.

The Archive:
100+ stories documented across 50+ destinations and 20+ countries. Travel guides, cultural deep-dives, exclusive interviews, and feature documentaries. The first documentary, Anonymous Reality, released in 2020. The podcast launched in 2022.

The Mission:
In a world drowning in outrage content and manufactured authenticity, Name and Occupation offers something different — positive documentation of reality. Stories that inspire without denying complexity. Journalism without political agenda. Independence without corporate compromise.

The Series Continues.
New stories, new doors, new perceptions.
