What happens when you leave a school you loved, only to realise the real learning starts after it\u2019s over? In this episode of More Than a Score, James Pattison \u2014 writer, broadcaster, creative, and founder of Miniature \u2014 shares his story of curiosity, confidence, and rediscovery. From the classroom to Radio National and beyond, James reveals how the experiences that shape us in school often teach us lessons we only understand years later. He reflects on the sibling rivalries, the teachers who saw his potential, and the moments of courage that came from saying yes. From backpacking through Europe with barely enough money to leaving secure jobs to build his own creative business. Through it all, James shows that success isn\u2019t a score or a title, it\u2019s found in backing yourself, being curious, and daring to take the next step, even when you\u2019re unsure where it leads. For parents or anyone going through change, this conversation is a reminder that growth doesn\u2019t happen in straight lines. It\u2019s built through trying, wandering, and daring to listen to that small voice that says: \u201cYou\u2019re good at this. Give it a try.\u201d In this episode, you\u2019ll discover: * Why curiosity is a powerful compass for learning and life. * The teachers, mentors, and moments that ignite lifelong passions. * Why letting go of \u201cthe perfect plan\u201d helps young people grow. * How parents can build connection and confidence through simple daily conversations. This episode is for parents, students, and lifelong learners who want to remember that the best lessons often come long after the exams are over. \ud83c\udfa7 Listen now \u2014 or share it with someone who\u2019s still figuring out what\u2019s next. #MoreThanAScore #ParentingPodcast #EducationPodcast #Creativity #Confidence<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
