In this episode, I am chatting with Emmett Graham from Melbourne. Emmett was probably what you could call the “typical leader” in high school; Good grades, the school captain, involved in numerous sports teams and music bands. Although after graduating, in an attempt to get away from everything “typical”, he spent all his savings on a 1984 campervan and travelled around the east coast of Australia. He spent a lot of time surfing or playing gigs (mostly so he could afford food or fuel to get to the next town!), but he also spent a lot of time meeting and speaking with so many different people. What was meant to be a fun trip after VCE became an experience that fostered a love for making connections with people, especially when those connections led to conversations about who we are and who we want to be.
Since then, Emmett has spent five years working and studying to learn more about those two questions; who are we, and who do we want to be? He received an undergraduate degree, majoring in Psychology, from the University of Melbourne. Through his involvement with organisations like The Reach Foundation, Batyr and Headspace, he has worked to design and deliver programs for over 100 000 young people across Australia.
Currently, he is studying his Honours in Psychology with the hope to one day run a clinical practice of his own where anyone can come to explore who they are and who they want to be.
