Vicky Tsai, Founder of Tatcha: "If I keep doing what I’m doing, there is a 100% chance that I’ll be unhappy. If I try something new, theres a 50% chance I’ll be unhappy."

Vicky Tsai is the founder of Tatcha Beauty Products, which will soon be celebrating its 10th anniversary. Beauty goes beyond skin-deep for Vicky, as the brand also has a strong philanthropic mission of promoting literacy and education for girls in Asia & Africa.  In this episode, Vicky talks about how she was willing to give up her financial security (4:28), how taking a big risk actually made perfect sense (12:08), and why she turned down acquisition & financing offers year after year as a values-driven company (27:19). This episode of Skimm’d From the Couch is sponsored by AC Hotels by Marriott.
