Most people are keen to ditch the everyday business life for the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry, but Trinny wanted to do things differently. From starting her career as a fashion expert and TV personality, she has successfully grown her brand, Trinny London, from zero to a $300M beauty and fashion empire. 

Despite her success in television, Trinny was driven by a passion to make a deeper impact, which is what initially led her to the beauty industry. 

But it wasn’t always plain sailing. She faced significant challenges transitioning from a TV personality to a businesswoman, especially in an industry that initially did not take her seriously.
