What does it take to turn your passion into a successful career? 🎙 In our latest Harris Futures podcast, we sat down with Perry and Joshua, two former Harris Academy Chafford Hundred students, as they shared their journeys and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. In this honest conversation, they refleted on the challenges they’ve faced, the opportunities they’ve seized, and how they’re now thriving in their careers. Hearing from them both was so inspiring- it was a pleasure to catch up! Listen now: https://lnkd.in/eY-CUrJM ✨
