How do you create better content on LinkedIn? How can young professionals define their career path and really take the most out of their early 20s? 

Listen to today’s episode of the Into the Adultverse Podcast to hear about Jonathan Tesser, a super great dude that has a lot of insights on what it means to be a young professional in today's rapidly changing world of work.

We get down and dirty with this episode, talking about something no one wants to talk about -- failure.

Being vulnerable about failure is tough, but it doesn't have to be. If we all embrace a little bit of pronoia (the opposite of paranoia, i.e. to think that everyone is conspiring to help you), we can treat failure as a growth opportunity and keep learning and improving.

Tune in to this one for some good quotes, real talks, and actionable advice.

Back at you with another interview! Today's episode feature Henry Peck, a super super interesting dude. Henry works as a Clinical Innovation Specialist at Johnson & Johnson on robotic surgery and other health tech innovations. Tune into hear his thoughts on the health tech space, how he went from Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University to more Product-related work, and his thoughts on defining your own career path and journey.
