Len Lanzi Guest Stars On the “Career Invincibility” Podcast

The Preccelerator’s Managing Director, Leonard Lanzi, recently joined host Christine Perakis on the “Career Invincibility” podcast. In his featured episode, Len spoke about his professional journey and challenges to becoming the director amidst the pandemic in 2020. He also shares the lessons he learned from his diverse experience in previous roles across various industries.

One key piece of advice Len has followed in his own career and recommends in the workshops he facilitates is capitalizing on your natural network. “Use the network that is close to you,” he said, “Start with family and close friends and branch out. If you went to a university use your alumni association. If you were in clubs or sports, or a fraternity or sorority, use that network to expand.”
