Show Notes

"On paper things looked great … [but] I was a mess. And after 18 months, I sort of fell apart pretty catastrophically."

    Georgie Dent is the CEO of The Parenthood, a not-for-profit that advocates to make Australia the best place in the world to raise a child. She's also a writer, journalist and, in her words, "reformed lawyer". Her company recently partnered with FW to produce the podcast series At What Cost, a three-episode deep dive into Australia’s childcare crisis. 

    In this episode, Georgie opens about the breakdown she had early in her career, public advocacy and why, as CEO, she only works a four day week.
