Jeff Harry: Follow The Whisper Of Your Curiosity
Sure, Jeff Harry may have tried to unionize the flagship Toys R Us store in Times Square after stuffing a Jerry Maguire style manifesto in everyone’s mailbox.
Jeff is passionate about toys and play. He’s been yearning to work for a toy company since the fifth grade, when he began writing letters to toy companies begging them to hire him.
But he could never have guessed how he’d feel when he finally achieved his dream job at Toys R Us.
Until he followed the whisper of his curiosity.
