#14 Who Is Elijah: How Raquel Bouris Built a Perfume Brand That's Worth $20 Million

This week on The Lazy CEO Podcast, Jane sits down with Dr. Philip Mathen, founder of Veritas Executive Health, Australia’s leading clinic for high-performing founders, executives, and athletes.

With 38 years of hands-on medical experience, including years in Intensive Care, Dr. Mathen shifted his focus to preventative medicine over 16 years ago. Today, he helps high performers optimise their health, extend their longevity, and sustain peak performance without burning out.

In this episode, they dive into:
 • Whether CEOs and founders actually age faster and what chronic high performance does to the body.
 • The biggest misconceptions high performers have about health and what actually works instead.
 • The daily habits, key metrics, and simple adjustments that drive energy, resilience, and performance.
 • Science-backed strategies to extend healthspan and improve long-term vitality.

If you’re constantly juggling work, life, and everything in between, this episode will help you step back, rethink how you’re operating, and give you practical tools to feel sharper, more energised, and more resilient.

This week on The Lazy CEO Podcast, Jane sits down with sibling co-founders Maddy and Dylan Jarvis, the duo behind Candy Claws, one of Australia’s fastest-growing beauty brands.

With zero background in beauty or e-commerce, they launched salon-quality press-on nails from Maddy’s living room in 2023. What started as packing orders themselves quickly turned into a breakout success, scaling to $20M in annual revenue and on track to surpass $50 million in total sales this year, all completely bootstrapped.

In this episode, they dive into:
• How dropshipping gave them the funds to launch Candy Claws.
• The growth playbook behind dominating Meta ads and breaking through a competitive market.
• Their advice for other budding entrepreneurs on how to scale fast and what they wish they hadn’t wasted time on along the way.
