Mel Storey is the Head of Legal APAC at Pax8 and a big contributor to the legal community. She’s the host of the Counsel podcast and a regular contributor to TikTok with the handle @theinhouselaywer.

Mel and I discussed the mindset shift required when transitioning from a well-established corporate environment to a startup. We then delved into the value of continuous learning and self-improvement for in-house lawyers through formal training and self-learning.

We also spoke about the power of social media and community building. Mel shares her experience with starting a podcast, using platforms like TikTok to connect with and mentor others, and using technology to navigate an increasingly complex business landscape. 

Let me know what you think of this episode in the comments and I’ll see you next time on Brief Encounters.
