George WilliamsGUEST
So that's what made me decide I wanted to be a lawyer.
George WilliamsGUEST
And after that, I went to Macquarie University, had a great career, but it began in high school back in 1983.
Wendy YehHOST
I mean, it's obviously very different because even between the time that I graduated and my law degree to now, I mean, the practice of law and the theoretical side has evolved so much.
Wendy YehHOST
So what was it like, I guess, studying law when you first started out and what was kind of your inspiration to kind of pursue constitutional law? Because you're obviously a renowned constitutional scholar.
George WilliamsGUEST
It's just how I think we use those skills is very different in the current world.
George WilliamsGUEST
And for me, constitutional law came about because I was inspired by one of my teachers.
George WilliamsGUEST
Tony Blackshield was my teacher at Macquarie University.
George WilliamsGUEST
He was someone who came to the classroom full of stories, full of ideas.

And so I just loved it.
Stephanie BrennanGUEST
And so then I moved to Sydney Uni to sort of learn more and dip my sort of toe into the law and then moved across to Macquarie University to study law and psychology, which I later changed to law and commerce.
Tyrone ShumHOST
Since falling in love with property, Brendan has put her university career on hold and is mainly focused on a property journey.
Stephanie BrennanGUEST
I think learning and education is so important but there's so much now that you can learn through Google and different resources and I guess mentors and people that have been I guess where you want to go.
Tyrone ShumHOST
Having freshly graduated from high school, Brendan had no solid areas of interest and thus jumped around degrees pretty frequently.
Stephanie BrennanGUEST
So I started down at ICMS in Manly with a Bachelor of Business majoring in event management and then I was tossing up originally between that and studying law because my grandfather was a lawyer so I guess I kind of wanted to follow a bit more in his footsteps and so I was tossing up between both of them and there was a subject that I did while doing the event management that was on contracts and so I just loved it and so then I moved to Sydney Uni to sort of learn more and dip my sort of toe into the law and then moved across to Macquarie University to study law and psychology which I later changed to law and commerce.
