Episode Trinny Woodall on What Recovery Taught Her About Entrepreneurship

0:00 1:01:40

Trinny Woodall is a founder, CEO, author, podcast host, and something of a culture sensation. She was one half of the duo behind the What Not to Wear series—the original one launched in the UK in the early 2000s—and for the past eight years, she has been on a fascinating entrepreneurial journey with her namesake beauty brand: Trinny London.

The company was launched with a focus on giving women confidence, at any age or stage of life. And it was not without major pushback. Thankfully, Trinny is incredibly resilient and holds nothing back in this conversation, offering the kind of zero-BS reflections every entrepreneur needs to hear, including:

• what she learned in recovery that resonates in her professional life today. • how she became the co-host of What Not to Wear and her deep appreciation for the power of a makeover. • deciding to rent out her dream home and sell all her clothing to help fund her beauty business, Trinny London. • learning to tailor her brand message depending on who she’s speaking to (and why she still references Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) • and much, much more.
