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. 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.  You can find Fiona on Linked In here and check out McLay Legal Consulting at: https://www.mclaylegal.com/  and buy a copy of her brilliant Tech Enabled Lawyer at Booktopia here.

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:  Failure - who says we have failed?  Being liked vs being respected  Developing the skills to advocate for gender equality  Why we deserve more and how we can demand more Law firm marketing and business development  Defying the odds and doing it on our own terms 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.  Your host, Rose  You can connect with Alison On Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-cusack/ On Instagram: @cusack_and_co And Tik Tok: @theshippinglawyer And via her website: https://www.cusackandco.com.au/ And me, Rose Inglis: @rosetintedlaw on Instagram.

Cheek Media is a news commentary platform that sits at the intersection of social, political and feminist news.

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.

Mollie Tregillis is a woman at the top of her game. She is the Director of Legal Optimisation at Minter Ellison is the unofficial face of Legal Operations in Australia. I am sure most of you would have seen her speak at an event or come across her on Linked In or even had the pleasure of working with her. However, you may not realise that it took Mollie a somewhat windy road to get to where she is today. From her seasonal clerkship experience (and the mistakes she made) to her initial years at Norton Rose, where she met her husband, to her windy path into legal operations to starting her passion project Hustle Bustle, we cover it all. Mollie nailed the brief. This conversation is very honest and she candidly shares all the twists and turns and blood, sweat and tears that have gone into making her the successful woman, lawyer, director, leader, mother, wife, friend she is today. I hope you enjoy this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities about where your legal career may take you.

Caralee Fontenele enrolled in law school in her late twenties, and then, when she graduated, she set up her own law firm. Her first hire was a Principal Solicitor to supervise her and she brought in plenty of work for them both. So bold. Today she owns and runs the successful Collective Family Law Group which has three offices in Queensland and The Scalable Business Lounge where she helps other law firm owners scale without burnout, sharing many of the lessons she has learned the hard way. How she got here is fascinating. Caralee dropped out of high school when she was 16 and got married and had babies young in her early twenties. She spent the first part of her twenties dedicated to family life and supporting her husband's business. She admits, that back then, she left the finances to her husband and did not take any responsibility for her career. However, receiving the raw end of their divorce settlement was a harsh wakeup call, so she enrolled in law school in her late twenties and turned her life around. This honest conversation with Caralee is a pep talk on getting your shit together, taking responsibility for your finances and career and reassures us that it is never too late to start. I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation between friends and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.

Cristabel Gekas is a Melbourne Uni JD graduate and People and Operations Manager at XY Sense, a tech start up using smart sensors and AI powered analytics to create workplaces that people love. I met Crista when she was a law student whose sights were firmly set on a top-tier legal career. She was working extremely hard to tick all the boxes to get there – She was leading The Legal Forecast, para-legal and interning, networking up a storm and studying extremely hard. However, things did not go according to her carefully thought-out plan. Crista's interest in legal tech led her to realise that she was much better suited to more entrepreneurial and dynamic environments. She then realised that she did not actually want to become a lawyer. She is now killing it in the technology start up space. In this honest conversation Crista shares with us: - Her long term ambition to study law - All the hard work she put into the seasonal clerkship process - What happened when she did not get a graduate offer - How her interest in legal tech lead her to a career in technology - Why she loves start ups - Her advice for others Crista gets super honest and vulnerable about her clerkship experience and her perspective is an absolute breath of air. I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you. Your host, Rose :-) Crista shares loads of helpful advice on Linked In, you can connect with her here.

Anne Wong is Legal Transformation Leader at BHP and an absolute power house in the burgeoning legal operations industry. I first met Anne when I was teaching at Deakin Law School, and where she was a penultimate year student. Even then, she was super clear on her ambition to pursue a career in legal operations and sought advice from me as to how to get there. In her relatively short, but super impressive legal career (she only qualified to practice in 2019) she has traversed various law firm roles to land inhouse at the BHP Legal Transformation team. In this honest conversation Anne shares with us: - What it is like to be a first-generation lawyer - Her quest for “confident humility” - The importance of staying true to her values and goals - Behind the scenes of her accelerated career trajectory into legal operations - Her brilliant ‘week of enlightenment' - What she actually does on a day-to-day basis - Her decision to relinquish her practicing certificate - Her decision to move inhouse when her law firm career was excelling. I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation between friends and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.

Jacqueline Butler is one of my uni besties and a hot shot employment lawyer. Jacqueline very fortunately found her passion for employment law in her graduate year and she has since worked both private practice and in-house. In this honest conversation Jacqui shares with us: - Her employment law career journey (including the time she made the “wrong” decision) - The conscientious hard work that goes on behind the scenes to “have it all” - Readjusting career ambitions and priorities in light of motherhood - Whether there is such a thing as “whole life balance” - Her advice to others. I have always admired how clear Jacqui has been in her goals and how conscientiously she works to achieve them.

This episode is a juicy one. It was recorded at the end of Melbourne's 1000th lockdown in 2021 at a time when we were particularly vulnerable, and it is the reason why I created this podcast. Rachel Waters is very much a woman after my own heart, and indeed we have a lot in common. Rachel studied Law/Arts at La Trobe Uni from 2007 – 2011, exactly the same as me. While we have mutual friends and knew of each other, we never had our own friendship. Our paths crossed again last year at an industry event, and we immediately clicked. In catching up on what we had been doing the last 10 years we realised we had a lot in common. She had also lived and worked in London and packed a lot of different things into her career. She had been a judge's associate, had gone to the Vic Bar, and was now in a policy role at the County Court. And the other reason we immediately clicked at that event is that our conversation got really deep / really quickly. She started telling me about the good, the bad, the highs and the lows and everything in between. She told me about how she achieved her dream of becoming a criminal barrister very early on in her career but then struggled when life at the Bar was different to how she had imagined. I had goosebumps and immediately knew that I was making new friend. In this honest conversation Rachel shares with us: - Her unique career path; - Whether the legal industry is about what you know or who you know; - The art of creating your own luck; - What happens when you dream job is not exactly as perfect as you envisaged; - How to stay true to your unique career journey. I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.

It is fiiiiiinallyyyy happening, folks. I am launching a podcast! I have recently been approached by so many people in my network - people I know IRL and over social media - seeking honest, authentic and useful career advice.

This podcast is a space to have honest conversations about legal careers with people who are boldly carving out their unique place in our profession. I have some amazing guests lined up who I know you will love as much as I do. Before I properly launch, I kindly ask that you do two things to help me spread the RTL word: 1.
