This week on The Lazy CEO Podcast, Jane sits down with Hannah Vasicek, CEO and co-founder of Francesca Jewellery, the Australian jewellery brand she built alongside her sister Rachel. Hannah started making jewellery at 12, was selling at markets by 16, and somehow grew the business while completing a double degree in science and law. She's since led Francesca from a weekend market stall to one of Australia's most recognised jewellery brands on the global stage.

In this episode, they dive into:
The burnout that put her in hospital and the wake-up call that completely rewired how she leads and runs the business.
Why jewellery is one of the hardest categories to scale, and how Hannah cracked it anyway.
How she went from managing 60 direct reports to building systems that actually work.
The decision to launch charity collections, what drove it, and how it reshaped the entire Francesca brand identity.
