This week on The Lazy CEO, Jane Lu sits down with Jeremy Cabral, co-founder of Finder, one of Australia’s biggest fintech success stories.

Jeremy spent 16 years growing Finder from a bootstrapped startup into a global brand trusted by millions, expanding into 23+ countries and surpassing $100M in revenue before ever raising external capital. When the company eventually raised, it did so at a $680M valuation.

He’s experienced every stage of the journey, from scrappy beginnings to international expansion. Today, Jeremy works with founders and leaders to scale smarter, navigate growth, and make sense of emerging shifts like AI.


In this episode, they cover:
How to use scrappy, crazy PR stunts to get your business noticed
How startups should actually use SEO
The reality of expanding internationally and why you can’t just copy and paste what worked at home

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/96d0b523-35bf-4792-84ad-b4360017cd95/transcript

This week on The Lazy CEO Podcast, Jane sits down with Michael Porter, Founder of Skin Control, the Aussie pimple patch brand that became Australia's number one acne care brand, selling over 4.8 million packets in 2025 alone.

Growing up around his family's Four Seasons Condoms empire, Michael had entrepreneurship in his DNA. But nothing could prepare him for what it actually took to get Skin Control off the ground.

In this episode, they dive into:
How growing up around family businesses like Four Seasons Condoms shaped his entrepreneurial mindset and led to the creation of Skin Control.
The strategy behind standing out in a crowded skincare market, landing major retailers, and scaling a brand that now dominates both retail and e-commerce.
His best hustle stories as proof that no matter the business size, sometimes the founder needs to get their hands dirty to make shit happen.

Skin Control: He Hauled 17 Suitcases of Pimple Patches Through the Airport to Save His Business...

After 15 years of building Showpo, Jane’s learned a lot about hiring, scaling, and leadership but nothing really prepares you for people leaving. In this solo episode, she unpacks one of the hardest truths of building a business: no matter how experienced you get, resignations never really get easier.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why resignations feel exactly like breakups and the different exits every founder will recognise - from people leaving for “hotter” opportunities, to ego hits, to the ones that just quietly fizzle out
How to deal with the hard ones: blindsides and losing people you genuinely love working with
Why letting people leave is actually part of scaling and how to stop taking it so personally
