Rose Tinted Law The Podcast

Rose, how do you start a podcast? What did you do? In this episode, I tell you. I answer five questions about starting a podcast asked by members of my community: What time and resources do you need to commit to your podcast initially? And what about now that you do it more regularly? How do we decide upon our target audience? There are so many possibilities that people can pursue with their time. How do we get their attention? Should that be our goal, or perhaps just to put out what we believe in and see what happens? What tech do you use? Should we use video? What post production do you do and how do you get it done? Do you do it yourself or outsource it? Do you have a background in recording or editing software? What are your reflections now that you have been podcasting for a while? Has it been worth it? How do you measure success or a sense that you are using your time and resources productively? I hope you enjoy this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you. Did you enjoy this episode?

Fiona is a legal consultant helping lawyers make better use of tech tools. She is also the author of Tech Enabled Lawyer and Consultant and Tech Evangelist at McLay Legal Consulting. She is also someone whose name you will immediately recognise if you are a part of the Australian Legal Innovation and Technology community, where she has a super strong network. Fiona spent 27 years of her legal career as a lawyer in both large and small firms. Then, in 2019 a shift happened, and she started steering her legal career towards consulting and technology. In this episode, we explore that shift. We talk about how and why she opted out of the partnership track and how she embarked upon a very deliberate and brave path of career reinvention. We discuss: The very sensible and conventional start to her legal career; Why she decided law firm partnership was not for her; How she embraced the “desert of reinvention” and claimed her space in the Australian legal tech ecosystem; How she built her strong personal brand and thought leadership, including how she wrote her brilliant book, the Tech Enabled Lawyer; Her thoughts on Chat GPT and what it is actually good for; The definition of “tech evangelist” and “knowledge management” and ideas that anyone can implement in their own workplaces; And much more.

Alison Cusack is Australia'a most famous maritime lawyer. And in this episode we learn why. Alison is absolutely fabulous. And the definition of someone who is boldly carving out their unique place in our legal profession. She has defied ALL the conventional legal career wisdom and advice to achieve her success. She dropped out of Electrical Engineering at Melbourne University to study Law/Business at Victoria University. She then did a generalist ATO Graduate program, before she landed an inhouse legal role at global shipping company ANL. After ANL, she wanted to gain private practice experience. But she obviously did not have it... And the law firms she applied to required it. So what did she do? She started her own law firm to get that private practice legal experience. It was only meant to last 6 months before she got herself a "proper" law firm job. Five years later, Cusack & Co, and Alison Cusack are both thriving. She represents massive global, billion dollar clients and is consistently nominated for industry awards. International law firms are her “competition” and she markets herself via comics. In this honest conversation Alison and I cover how she successfully navigated this very twisty, alternative legal career path, as well as: I hope you enjoy this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you.

Cheek Media is a news commentary platform that sits at the intersection of social, political and feminist news. Prior to this, Hannah studied law, and was enjoying a really bright and fulfilling legal career.

This is the sweet spot of where I think career development is at its most exciting and messy.

Maddison is an employment lawyer, diversity and inclusion advocate and public speaker. As you will learn from our very honest conversation, Maddison is an absolute firecracker and trailblazer. She is hilarious, ambitious, outspoken and extremely community minded. Maddy does not do anything by halves. She does not anything by the book. This includes her legal career. Maddison studied law at Griffith University, completed a couple of clerkships but did not get a graduate offer. She commenced her legal career at Griffith University's in-house legal departments’ inaugural graduate program. While she initially did general corporate work she gravitated towards employment law. When COVID hit, she was seconded to the employment law team where she was advising the university on its costs saving measures (i.e. mass redundancies and not renewing employment contracts). Unfortunately she experienced the same fate as many of her colleagues and found herself without a job in the pandemic. How she navigated this is nothing short of bold, brave and inspiring. And where she has landed is nothing short of impressive. I hope you enjoy this honest conversation about Maddison’s legal career and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you.
