In today’s episode I sit down with Hannah Ferguson, the 24 yo Founder and CEO of Cheek Media. 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. 

When we sat down for this honest conversation in February 2023 Hannah was just a couple of months into a very exciting new career chapter. At the end of 2022 she made the bold decision to quit her sensible – and excellent – role as union representative – and packed up her life and moved from Brisbane to Sydney to go full time at Cheek Media, and in the depths of writing her first book. This is the sweet spot of where I think career development is at its most exciting and messy. 

In the first part of this honest conversation, Hannah shares with us all through the steps that she has taken in her short but illustrious career to lead her to become Founder and CEO of Cheek Media. In the second part of our conversation we talk about Cheek Media. 

I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you. 

The books we discussed are Another Day in the Colony by Chelsea Watego, Talkin’ Up to the White Woman by  Aileen Moreton-Robinson and Tell Me Again by Amy Thunig
