#197: How to get a social media job in Formula 1 with Sophie Reis from Australian Grand Prix Corp.

Hello friends!

It’s lights out and away we pod!!!

Life moves quick on social media, and even quicker in Formula 1, so we had to find out exactly what Soph does when the cars are on the grid at Albert Park, and racing around the world the rest of the year.

Soph also shares how she landed her dream job by networking at her footy club, and gives an insight to being a woman in a male dominated industry.
