In this episode, Anthony Cheung is joined by Harvey Bracken-Smith, founder of the Personable podcast and incoming Goldman Sachs summer intern, to unpack his remarkable journey from a small island in Jersey to Eton, Duke University, and beyond.

Harvey shares insights on overcoming imposter syndrome, the power of consistency, building a personal brand, and how he’s managed to interview billionaires, CEOs, and Olympic athletes before the age of 21. He also opens up about the importance of family, dealing with personal loss, and why his mantra is simply: Why not you?

Whether you're navigating university, career uncertainty, or starting your own venture, this is a masterclass in mindset, grit, and taking action.
