What does it take to go from doing customs forms by hand at Australia Post to running a $100M+ global fashion brand?
In this episode of Always Business Class, Steve Hui and Steve Pirie-Nally sit down with Jane Lu, founder of Showpo, to unpack the real story behind building a global brand from her parents' garage, why naivety is a founder's greatest asset, and how backing yourself is the only strategy that matters.
They also get into delegation, content creation as a CEO, the aisle vs window seat debate, and why business class is the best investment a founder can make.
We cover: Why entrepreneurs need naivety to take the leap How a trademark crisis nearly wiped out everything she built Building Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine to 180,000+ women Why delegation changes everything The aisle vs window seat debate, settled What is still on the bucket list
