Taryn Williams: From Model to Million-Dollar Founder
Description
In this episode of the #NeverNotBuilding podcast, I sit down with one of Australia’s most dynamic entrepreneurs, Taryn Williams, to unpack her wild journey from teenage model to tech founder to boardroom leader.
Taryn built Wink Models and The Right Fit, disrupted industries that were stuck in the past, raised millions in venture capital, and successfully exited both companies before launching into AI consulting.
We talk about:
What it takes to scale without losing your soul;
How to choose the right investors (and why you can’t get divorced from them), and;
Why leadership in 2025 demands a different kind of resilience.
Taryn also shares how she’s helping businesses reinvent themselves with AI, and how the future belongs to those who adapt first.
This episode is about grit, growth, and grace under pressure. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after the big win, this is your answer.
