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.

In this episode, how a high-achieving accounting graduate resigned from her high-flying career at Ernst & Young during the Global Financial Crisis, much to her parent’s disgust, with the dream of becoming one of Australia’s leading entrepreneurs. Well, that dream eventually came true, but not without getting in to some serious personal debt and a failed business along the way. In 2010, Jane Lu founded the online fashion label Showpo from her parents’ garage, having previously worked in accounting and corporate finance. What started off with a laptop and two shelves of clothing, is now an online global fashion empire, shipping to over 100 countries. Through her highly disruptive approach to online retailing, and capitalising on the use of social media, Showpo now boasts a cult social following of over 3.3 million engaged followers, a team of over 150 millennials across their central-Sydney HQ and distribution centre, and an annual turnover this year that will hit $30 million. I caught up with Jane in an upstairs wardrobe of her Sydney office. Sitting on a couple of hard old stools, it was hot, we were surrounded by clothes (as you’d expect), and there was an Instagram photo shoot happening next door showcasing the upcoming week’s new range of Showpo originals. But none of that stopped this quick-talking, fast-thinking fashion entrepreneur from verygenerously sharing some powerful business insights. “One of the most difficult things (in business) is when you grow really fast and you have people that don’t grow with you. Letting people go is hard ..but keeping the wrong people can lead you in the wrong direction … then you’re left with a huge mess to clean up. ” - Jane Lu, Showpo Support the show.

“No one shops online.” Today, that sentence sounds ridiculous – some of us only shop online.

Almost a decade later, Jane is the self-proclaimed “Lazy CEO” and founder of Showpo, Australia’s fastest growing… The post LL 133: Business Failures & Becoming an Entrepreneur in Fashion w/ Showpo Founder Jane Lu appeared first on Lavendaire.

Jane Lu is the founder and CEO of online fashion retailer Showpo, a company valued at over $30M dollars. You can find her on Instagram @thelazyceo and I can tell you first hand that this woman is a powerhouse. A quick scroll through her feed will show you she’s living the dream, surrounding herself with an incredible staff and working damned hard to make her business not only grow but be a great place to work. Was it always this way for her? No way. Did she come from incredible adversity? Did she face failure? A dead-end job? The disdain of her parents for quitting what looked like a stable career? Yes, yes, yes and yes. You might not want to start an online fashion empire in 2019 - but you most definitely can take a listen to this and have it put the bellows to the fire in your belly.

Ben’s not the first Olympian I’ve had on the show, however his story - his particular triumph over adversity and refocus of his life is one worth hearing.After Ben we'll hear from Jane Lu, the founder and CEO of mammoth fashion startup Showpo.com. This is easily one of my favourites - because everyone loves a story of triumph. Of closing the door on something in order to open unknown other doors, leading to the life you really want to live.Next is Taylor Steele, one of the most iconic and prolific surf film makers of our time. Through his film Momentum, released in 1992 - a then twenty year old Taylor captured a new and dominating style of surfing that hadn’t really been seen before as he filmed young surfers that would go on to become household names in the surf world: Shane Dorian, Rob Machado, Taylor Knox and of course Kelly Slater.Finally is the amazing Dr Glen Richards.
