Resilience, drive and the roads less travelled

Penny Lane is an Australian television presenter, entrepreneur and founder of the multi million dollar global skincare brand, The Perfect Cosmetics Company. Best known from over 20 years on Australian morning television, she has built the longest standing skincare range on morning show TV.

On In the Driver's Seat, Penny interviews leaders, founders and unconventional thinkers, uncovering the real stories behind success. She asks what others won't, says what others avoid and does it with warmth, intelligence and just enough cheek to keep people leaning in. She does not take herself too seriously, which is exactly why others open up.
