A focus on mentoring and ’empowering conversations’ will drive the new season of Unfiltered, the 12-part vodcast created by News Corp Australia’s research and insights hub, The Growth Distillery, in partnership with The Marketing Academy.
Hosted by The Growth Distillery’s director, Dan Krigstein, Unfiltered draws from The Marketing Academy’s international alumni network to explore the relationships that shape careers, from mentors to rivals, to co-founders and everything in between.
“In today’s fast-moving business environment, leaders need more than textbook strategies,” said Krigstein. “Unfiltered cuts through the noise to deliver raw, practical insights that matter, on both a professional and personal level.
“With this season, we’ve widened the lens to focus on one of the most powerful, yet often underestimated, drivers of success: the remarkable people who journey with us.”
