Today on the show we are lucky to have the in-demand Zara Seidler, the Co-Founder of The Daily Aus, Australia's leading social-first news service.

Launched by Zara and her Co-Founder, Sam Koslowski in March 2017, TDA are doing phenomenal numbers. In the last 12 months they’ve gone from 6,000 to over 200k followers* on insta, created a daily newsletter and launched a podcast.

We are so excited to have Zara on the show today to chat all things The Daily Aus, what it's like starting a social-first news media business in a turbulent time for the industry, tapping into millenials appetite for political and social engagement, and the hard stuff about launching a rapidly growing startup in your 20s.
