Our guest today is creative industries innovator, Councillor, and Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney Jess Scully. Jess tells Mia about her childhood in the Western suburbs and Central Tablelands and on the Chilean coast; her high school discovery of Newtown's cultural life and her transformation into a 90s suburban Triple J kid; her post-school years, where her legal studies succumbed to her busy schedule editing and publishing creative mags; constantly finding herself in "disrupted" industries (and where that led her professionally); and her eventual tilt for and ascendency in political office.
