The Ampersand Unplugged brings you an audio version of our October 2025 edition of The Ampersand, read aloud by the author. In this edition, Adam reflects on what it means to navigate the start of a career—and what the rest of us can learn from watching the next generation figure it out.

On the surface, this edition is about early-career twenty-somethings showing up at his office looking for direction. But really, it's about all of us—how we think about careers, progress, and what it means to be "on track." He makes the case that your 20s and 30s aren't about mastery; they're about experimentation. And that what looks like drifting is often just development that doesn't photograph well on a resume.
