This is a solo episode, which means it's just Mel, a microphone, and a year worth of things she's been wanting to say out loud. Coming up on twelve months since she walked away from a 15-year legal career to run Council Media full-time, Mel uses this episode to take stock of what that year has actually looked like, including the parts that don't make it into the highlight reel.
She covers the NextGen GC Summit in Sydney, a US court decision on AI and privilege that every in-house team should be reading right now, the small business directory she accidentally built in seven days, and what she's learning about building a business that creates value when you're not physically in it. She's also honest about what taking a month off looks like when there's no salary continuing in the background.
Listeners will leave with a concrete legal development to act on, a framework for thinking about the difference between surviving a career leap and building something sustainable, and the unglamorous version of year one that actually helps.
