Behind the Podcast: Combining Passion with Employment
We’re excited to share a series of podcasts with you about the different paths that youths can take when transitioning to adulthood. These episodes were recorded by young people --Dexter, Lexandra, Jonah, Allie, Carter, and Sarah-- who interviewed peers and adults alike on their various experiences. Check out this episode by Jonah and let us know what you think!

In his first recorded podcast, Jonah discusses his career path to photography. He talks about finding a way to turn your passions and hobbies into a career you love. Additionally, Jonah shares his story as a kid who grew up on a goat farm who now has a lucrative photography career. He feels this topic is important because, "I know how intimidating it can be for a teen to think about their future career and I hoped to be able to inspire someone to find their passion and turn it into a career."
