Hosted by Craig, Hana and Emma, this episode on Passions and Careers features contributions from guests, including Radio DJ and TV presenter, Melvin Odoom and TV presenter, Author and Travel Enthusiast, Charley Boorman. We also check in with our audio diaries to see how we’re all getting on trying out the advice in our everyday lives.

Today’s Big Questions

1. How do I manage the expectations of family and friends while following my true passion?
2. How do I know if something I love doing is a viable career for me?
3. How do we come to terms with the reality of work, considering there will almost always be aspects of a job that we don’t enjoy?
