Michael Harris (SPC 2001) – Where are they now

We recently reconnected with Old Collegian Michael Harris (SPC 2001) who has travelled the world while working on his laptop as a digital nomad. Michael shares some of his story with us in this Where are they now profile.

Michael Harris.

Where has life taken you since leaving SPC?

I’ve travelled the world extensively and now work for my own company on my laptop as a digital nomad representing some large digital creators

Do you have family ties with SPC?

No.

What are your fondest memories of your time at St Patrick’s College?

I was only there for 12 months, however, I did appreciate the other students and their down to earth, fun nature.

If you could pass on one message to the students of today, what would it be?

Work hard and forget about what the rest of the world tells you to do or their expectations of you. Great leaders do not come from following others, it comes from taking risks and failing and getting back up, this teaches you life lessons, you will continue to make mistakes until you learn how to stay upright.
