On this episode of Adulting101 Masterclass, host Heather Redisch sits down with Nate Hiser, founder of 1000 Chicagoans, to unpack how one small idea turned into a citywide waiting list. Nate walks through the moment his phone blew up and his nervous system could not keep up, plus why he keeps the dinners small instead of chasing bigger crowds. The two talk about making friends after college, why loneliness in your twenties is more common than most people admit, and how to build community in a new city without it feeling forced or transactional.

Getting the job was the easy part. The moment you accept the offer, the rules change, and nobody hands you a manual for them.

Heather shares what hiring managers and recruiters notice before, during, and after an interview.
