Chris Whitnall is the kind of person who plans everything – except his career. Chris has moved countries with no set plan, pivoted industries, and stepped into roles where he could only do 70% of the job—learning the rest on the fly.
Why? Because he believes that in the 30% discomfort zone is where the real growth happens.

‘I Catch Killers’ podcaster on justice and the cases that still haunt him
Gary Jubelin didn’t set out to be a ‘podcaster’.
But five years and 40 million global downloads later, the former homicide detective has become one of News Corp Australia’s most consistent audio performers with I Catch Killers, a podcast that peels back the layers of the criminal justice system with raw, unfiltered conversations.
The podcast, which launched in 2020 and now sits among the company’s longest-running series, has found a loyal audience in Australia’s somewhat overcrowded audio landscape, especially when it comes to true crime.
Jonathon Moran on fame, friendship and finding strength in vulnerability
There’s a long-standing rule in journalism: never make yourself the story. But what happens when the story you’re telling is so deeply tangled in your own experience, it becomes impossible to separate the two?
That’s the crossroads I found myself at while writing and producing this week’s episode of Mediaweek’s Newsmakers podcast.
The guest? Jonathon Moran or JMo, as most in the industry affectionately know him. Most people know him as a seasoned entertainment journo and podcast host. But to me, he’s someone I’ve known since childhood, in a way that defies the usual boundaries of a professional interview.
