016 - Pit Pony Jonny Millard - Chapter 1 - The Teacher Who Dreamed Big

The Pit Pony Podcast - Life After Teaching

Welcome to a very special Christmas special 5 part episode of the Pit Pony Podcast.
In this first chapter of Jonny Millard’s compelling story, we meet an ambitious young history teacher from the Midlands. With dreams of becoming a headteacher, Jonny entered the profession full of passion, eager to make a difference and climb the ranks of leadership. But by 2019, his journey had taken an unexpected turn.

Through this introduction to Jonny’s career, we uncover the early years of his teaching path, his rise within the classroom, and the cracks that began to form. A single incident with a faulty laptop cable would soon become the catalyst for a life-altering decision, one that would ultimately lead him to a completely different path.

As Jonny opens up about his struggles, this chapter sets the stage for the deeper complexities of his journey in the chapters to come.
