Terence Koo shares inspiring advice on making the most of opportunities that are only available when you’re early in your career.
Starting out at PwC in London, before building shopping centres in China, and moving into FMCG, Telecommunications and Digital Marketplaces in Australia, Terence shares why chasing experiences over positions matters.
We discuss Terence’s incredible but simple advice on how to use your energy for your wellbeing. And reflect on the immense value Terence discovered in getting good at the boring stuff and creating unthinkable opportunities by being respectfully bold. We discuss leveraging spare time and why asking one good question in a meeting is sometimes all you need to do.
Josh Mackenzie hosts Graduate Edge, a podcast for people early in their career. He’s spent years working with thousands of young professionals worldwide and the hundreds of companies they work for. What he’s learned: the most successful people aren’t the ones who had it all figured out – they’re the ones who learned from the messy, uncertain moments along the way.
In each episode, Josh talks with people who’ve navigated early career challenges and lived to tell the tale. They 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 lessons that only come from actually doing the work. But here’s what makes it different: Josh pulls their stories apart to uncover what they actually mean for you, and the concrete advice you can use right now.
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, this is your space to learn from people who’ve walked the path before you – without the highlight reel, just the honest truth.
