Mediaweek Newsmakers - Gogglebox's Matt Fahd21 Aug27 min

You probably know Matty Fahd from the Gogglebox couch. But before he was critiquing TV for a living, he spent 18 years working behind the scenes in media, from the agency trenches to helping build TikTok Australia.

Then he did something many of us have probably fantasised about: he walked away from the corporate gig.

With Gogglebox Australia back for a new season, Matty joins me on Newsmakers to talk TikTok, taking the gamble on becoming a full-time creator, and why leaving the job he always wanted ultimately gave him something much more valuable: time with his family.
