Jacqueline Leung | Founder and CEO, Pressed News

Jacqueline Leung is the Founder and CEO of Pressed News, a digital media company that makes the news easy to understand. With a daily email newsletter, online explainers, and social media community, Pressed brings its subscribers a recap of world issues straight to their mailbox every morning, always from a Canadian perspective - and minus the bias. 

Before launching Pressed, Jacqueline spent several years in marketing in different industries, including sports, food, and media. She came to realize she wasn’t getting access to Canadian news in a way that made sense for her, and she set out to fix the issue.

Listen to her journey as she starting building a different kind of media company and discover some of her tips for dealing with adversity (including going to therapy once a week!), career challenges and get her advice on what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.
