What happens when you combine a politician mom and an activist daughter? A new Australian TV show, The PM’s Daughter, explores politics, climate risk, and family dynamics — following high school student and climate activist Cat Parkes Perez after her mother Isabel is thrust into the role of Prime Minister of Australia, writes the Sydney Morning Herald. Cat wants to continue fighting the system, but it gets harder to do when her own mother is the system and every move is scrutinized by the public. Tensions rise even further between the two when Isabel signs an agreement with a huge polluting company that Cat has been protesting against. However, Cat soon realizes that there are bad guys on every side of the spectrum as her climate action organization decides to take a more threatening stance. You can watch The PM’s Daughter on OSN.

Learn to be a “backable” business founder: After multiple unsuccessful attempts to raise funds from investors, Suneel Gupta began to ask himself whether the problem was his own attitude. In his book, titled Backable, Gupta argues that even with a solid business plan, the key to success is having the ability to persuade others to take a chance on you. To make his point, he draws on the experiences of producers of Oscar-awarded films, Congress members, military leaders, culinary stars, venture capitalists, founders of unicorn-status startups, and executives at iconic companies like Lego, Method, and Pixar. The book aims to teach readers how to be persuasive and sell their ideas with skill. Using his methods, Gupta was able to convince his eight-year-old daughter to clean her room — definitely an admirable feat.
