Capital Brief is the new kid on the business block and John McDuling is leading the charge as editor-in-chief. You might know him as the former national business editor for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, or from his stints at the Financial Review and US-based Quartz.

Why chat with John? Capital Brief just celebrated its first year, launched with the belief that Australia needs more than just a couple of business papers. John says there's a gap for a publication focused on "decision-makers in the new economy." We dive into what that means, how millennials are shaking up boardrooms, the state of trust in media, and how Capital Brief is tackling it. Plus, we get into some of the big business themes of late.
