Not everyone leaves school with a clear plan. And not everyone needs to. In this episode of More Than a Score, we sit down with Hayden Bevis\u2014founder of Poster Boy\u2014to explore what it really looks like to build a career without a neat, linear pathway. <\/p>
Hayden shares how he moved from school into a series of unexpected roles, including working as an optical mechanic, hosting trivia, experimenting with video and early YouTube, before eventually building a creative business grounded in storytelling and communication. <\/p>
This conversation challenges a few big assumptions: <\/p>
\u2022 You need to be \u201ccreative\u201d to pursue creative work <\/p>
\u2022 Careers should follow a straight line <\/p>
\u2022 Success starts with certainty <\/p>
Instead, Hayden offers a different perspective, one built on making things, learning through feedback, and backing your own curiosity. <\/p>
We also explore why communication might be one of the most important skills for young people today, not just writing, but the ability to express ideas across different media, platforms, and contexts. <\/p>
This episode is for: <\/p>
\u2022 Parents supporting young people who don\u2019t yet have a clear direction <\/p>
\u2022 Students who feel unsure about their next step <\/p>
\u2022 Anyone curious about how creative careers actually unfold <\/p>
Because sometimes, the best pathway\u2026 is the one you build as you go. <\/p>
