Our guests this week are Peter and his son, Ezra. Peter has what we'd call a 'portfolio' career - he does more than one job and switches between them. He loves both his jobs and they fulfil different purposes for him. Ezra is 10 and wants to be an engineer when he grows up!

About The Guests:

• Peter Branjerdporn is a pharmacist and social justice advocate.
• Ezra is Peter's 10-year-old son who aspires to be an engineer.

Summary: Peter Branjerdporn is a pharmacist and social justice advocate. He has a portfolio career, which means he does a little bit of everything instead of having one full-time job. Peter's passion for both of his jobs is evident, and he enjoys the variety and the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives. Ezra, Peter's son, aspires to be an engineer but is not sure which type yet. He enjoys math and PE at school and is not a fan of science experiments. Peter's journey to his current career involved various jobs and a desire to help others. He finds fulfilment in serving people as a pharmacist and bringing people of faith together to address social justice issues. Ezra is supportive of his dad's work and has even attended protests and events with him. Peter encourages young people to get involved in different projects to learn new skills and make a positive impact.

Quotes:

• "Try something that you think you'll like, but then if you don't like it, maybe try something else." - Ezra
• "The best version of a pharmacist that I can be is someone who's actually being able to listen and get to the heart of what someone needs at that time." - Peter
• "I like it when we can be a voice, say, for refugees or climate justice. That is unexpected because normally people expect people from the church to only speak about moral kind of stuff and not be involved in justice." - Peter
