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.
