Ep 22: Taryn Willams - Entrepreneur

On this weeks show I am joined by Taryn Williams. Taryn is one of Australia's most popular female entrepreneurs and digital influencers.

She was awarded the 2017 B&T Women in Media tech leader and recognised for her work with theright.fit winning the 2018 Mumbrella Award for innovation. Taryn has featured in the B&T Hot 30 under 30, SmartCompany 30 under 30, and been a finalist for numerous awards including 2015 Female Entrepreneur Awards. Taryn was also announced in 2018 as one of the global faces of Max Factor.

A former model, Taryn launched Wink Models in 2007 at the age of 21 and it has since cemented its place as one of Australia's leading commercial modelling agencies with turnover in the millions.

In 2016 she launched her second business, theright.fit, a two-sided marketplace connecting brands with creative talent and influencers. Soon after launch she successfully negotiated investment from Airtree Ventures, along with other strategic partners and funds. The platform has over 6,500 talent and has worked with some huge brands.

Taryn is an absolute power house of energy. In this episode we speak about finding mentors and advisors, scaling, how to hire a team, how she introduces gratitude into her business and her leap into the world of tech startups. This is one of my most favourite interviews, and I am sure you will take something away from it.
