Tonia Galati with Kate from Zuggarat Season 6 Episode 8

In this episode, we chat with Kate from Ziggurat, a talent and media management company representing creators in factual entertainment. From studying TV and production at university to working her way up from assistant roles to second assistant director, Kate shares her refreshingly honest career journey one that’s anything but linear. We dive into her experiences breaking into the competitive TV industry, why trying different roles helped her discover what she truly enjoys, and how Ziggurat not only fosters a culture of exploration and balance but engages employees in their interests as a conscious effort creates a stronger workforce. Kate also offers valuable advice to anyone feeling unsure about what they bring to the workplace, reminding us that our individual skills and perspectives are what make us truly valuable.
