In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Rebecca Lim, the head of legal, financial services regulatory at Judo Bank and an award-winning author, about her unique dual career spanning law and writing. Lim unpacks her journey navigating both worlds, shares why creative outlets for lawyers are essential, delves into the transferable skills from writing that have shaped her legal skill set, and explains how she balances two demanding yet very different careers. Lim also discusses her newly published book, which she described as a sharp \"piss-take\" of the Australian legal profession, where her protagonist turns the traditional corporate ladder narrative on its head, unpacks what she hopes young lawyers will take from the book, and explains how liberating it was to write so candidly and so differently, for a legal audience.","meta_description":"A lawyer and award-winning author has fused her two worlds into one striking work, releasing a novel she describes as a sharp \"piss-take\" of the Australia…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1977,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/lawyers-weekly-podcast-network-1107165/episodes/prot-g-why-this-lawyer-wrote-a-piss-take-novel-on-the-profession/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lawyers-weekly-podcast-network-1107165/prot-g-why-this-lawyer-wrote-a-piss-take-novel-on-the-profession.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
