Hi, I'm Josh Mackenzie, and I'm obsessed with people’s journey early in their career. I've spent years working with thousands of young professionals all over the world, and the hundreds of companies they work for. And I've noticed something: the most successful people are often not the ones who had it all figured out – they're the ones who learned from the messy, uncertain moments along the way.
Graduate Edge is where I sit down with people who've been there, navigated their way through and lived to tell the tale. We dig into the pivotal moments, the failures that hurt, the career crossroads where the "right" path wasn't obvious, how they found success, and the real, unfiltered lessons that only come from actually doing the work.
But here's what I love most: we pull their stories apart to uncover what they actually mean for you, and the concrete advice you can use right now early in your career.
Whether you're figuring out your first professional job, navigating a major transition, or just trying to make sense of this whole "being a professional" thing, consider this your space to learn from people who've walked the path before you – without the highlight reel, just the honest truth.
