Even some of the most successful people you know started at rock bottom like $60k in debt, no job, and pretending everything is totally fine. That was Jane Lu’s life… right before she built Showpo. And today, Jane is speaking candidly about it all.The pressure to pick the “good girl” career, the fear of disappointing her parents, the panic of feeling behind while everyone else looks like they’re sprinting ahead and the moment you realise you’ve built a life around other people’s expectations and now you have to undo it. But interesting part is what came next, and nothing about it looked like the beginning of a global brand. Cofounders walked. Ideas fizzled. She was building websites in the State Library and quietly hoping no one noticed she was making it up as she went. And then, slowly, things shifted. A call she made out of instinct, a social moment went viral and she found a way of working that suited her Lazy CEO approach. This became the backbone of the business she’d grow into a company valued at more than $100 million. In this ep:✨Her mindset shifts about the "safe" career✨How to rebuild when your confidence is shot and your bank account is judging you✨The small (almost accidental) move that blew open her career✨Lazy CEO rules that help you stop doing the absolute most✨Why your messy chapter isn’t a setback, it’s leverageJANE'S LINKS: Showpo's website, TikTok & InstagramHer personal website, Tiktok & Instagram READ: Victoria's book The Business Bible just won the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Book of the Year at the 2025 Australian Business Book Awards.

How do you turn a cheeky side hustle into one of Australia’s most recognisable swimwear brands? In this episode, Adam Linforth shares exactly how he did it. From starting in a “safe” career in banking to buying Budgy Smuggler on a whim, Adam turned a hyper-seasonal, zero-order product into a global brand worn by tradies, footy players, and surf lifesavers alike. He dives into why he’d rather fail at something he loves than chase someone else’s idea of success, how keeping it simple and fun built a cult following, the lessons learned from copycats and legal drama, and why nailing your backyard before taking on the world is the best business advice he’s ever received.

Most people think being CEO means having all the answers. James Thornton would say it means knowing when to shut up and listen.James is the CEO of Intrepid Travel – the world's largest adventure travel company and a certified B Corp that's been walking the talk for decades – but he didn't start at the top. Nearly 20 years ago, he applied for a job at Intrepid, got rejected, and eventually got his foot in the door as a sales rep. Since then, he's worked his way up to the CEO role, crediting his rise to listening, learning, and communicating even when it's uncomfortable. Now, under his leadership, Intrepid is on track to hit $800 million in revenue, but James believes the real key to leading a business across seven continents isn't just strategy – it's communication.In this episode, we dive into what it's like leading a company you didn't found, why purpose and profit aren't mutually exclusive, and the leadership style James calls “casual intensity.”Connect with us: Follow The Lazy CEO podcast on Instagram: @thelazyceo_podcast Stay updated with our host, Jane Lu: @thelazyceo Follow James on LinkedIn: James Thornton Follow Intrepid Travel on Instagram: @intrepidtravel Hosted on Acast.

Hey Poddy Fam!!This week on The Lazy CEO, we're joined by Dani Atkins & Alex Babich, the couple behind Kulani Kinis, one of Australia's most in-demand swimwear brands.Back in 2015, Dani (an emergency psychologist) and Alex (a corporate accountant at EY) had zero experience in fashion, manufacturing, or e-commerce. But when a Hawaiian holiday exposed a gap in the market, they didn't overthink it—they just went for it. With their vacation savings, they launched Kulani Kinis, creating swimwear that fit better, felt amazing, and stood out with bold, vibrant designs.Rather than following the traditional path, they focused on organic growth, built a loyal community, and scaled the brand to $3–$4 million in revenue before even running social media ads. Their unconventional strategies helped them scale to be a $100M business, proving that thinking outside the box can be a major advantage. In this episode, they share why being naïve in business can be a superpower, the biggest risks they took, and what they would do differently.Connect with us:Follow The Lazy CEO podcast on Instagram: @thelazyceo_podcastFollow Kulani Kinis: @kulanikinisFollow Alex Babich: @bikinibaronFollow Dani Atkins: @daniatkinsStay updated with our host, Jane Lu: @thelazyceo Hosted on Acast.

I'm the author, ghostwriter and coauthor of 7 books about entrepreneurship. I've interviewed some of the biggest names in business. Ruslan Kogan from Kogan. Gabby Leibovich from Catch of the Day. Jane Lu from Show Po. Naomi Simson from Red Balloon. Simon Griffiths from Who Gives a Crap. And many more.  I'm often asked, ‘What have you learnt by interviewing over 100 of Australia's top entrepreneurs? Do they have anything in common? And if so, what? Did they all get lucky or did they do something others didn't? I've learnt a lot from these people about entrepreneurship so I thought I'd dedicate an episode to sharing with you what I have learned from them all. We'll cover how to: build a culture  use language to shape the mindset of a company make your own luck – there is a 3-step formulas use your weaknesses to create a super power strength compete with the big firms even when you're on a tiny budget level the management hierarchy so you are seen as being ‘one of the team' start a meeting and break the ice write a cultural statement that sets your company up for success – with examples from Swisse Vitamins that saw them win “Best Employer” over multiple years give feedback  create a content machine that delivers outstanding results Read the show notes This podcast is brought to you by the Australian Writers' Centre.
