Robyn Foyster is such an inspiration! She is a hugely successful journalist, editor, entrepreneur, and champion of women and her career will blow you away! You may know some of Robyn’s digital media outlets already – The Carousel is a lifestyle brand for women, Women Love Tech is another, and Gamechangers.
Robyn has had such an illustrious media career it’s hard to know where to start. She landed in London in her early 20’s and worked on Fleet St on many of the flagship titles for News Ltd including the top-selling newspaper of the day, and also for the newly formed Hello magazine. This was followed by a stint in LA as the US correspondent for breakfast TV in the UK before returning to Australia where she became the Editor and Publisher of some of our most loved women’s magazines including Woman’s Day, New Idea, Grazia, Australian Woman’s Weekly.
Robyn describes what happened to finally make her decide to be her own boss, and how that has led her to start up a number of different businesses, including raising capital and launching some amazing tech businesses. If you want s dose of inspiration, this is the episode to watch!
