It was an absolute honour to start right at the very beginning of my business journey and interview the one and only Tania Walsh on THE CEO’s WING WOMAN® Podcast.
Tania is the CEO and Founder of VANI-T, an iconic Australian luxury tanning and cosmetics brand. You may also know that I had the honour of working alongside Tania as General Manager from 2016 to 2019.
In this captivating episode, we dive deep into the incredible journey of VANI-T, the brand that pioneered natural spray tanning solution globally in 2004 and quickly became an international success story. With over 15,000 salons across 15 countries, it's no wonder VANI-T has achieved a cult-like status, loved by more than 14 million users worldwide.

This ability to anticipate trends has been a game-changer for VANI-T, allowing them to stay ahead of the curve and continually innovate their award-winning products in spray tanning, self-tanning, makeup, and wellness.
Of course, no journey to success is without its challenges, and Tania candidly discusses some of the biggest hurdles she has faced along the way. One key takeaway is her belief in viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and coming out stronger on the other side. It's a valuable lesson for all aspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders.
