Hey Poddy fam, today I’m chatting to Priscilla Hajiantoni. Priscilla spent 15 years dealing with skin issues and one day decided that she was going to solve that problem. And that solution was Bangn Body. She invested her house deposit to fund the business - yes she literally was betting the house. Priscilla started the business in March 2021 - after working on the business for over 2 years behind the scenes and in the 2 years since launch she has sold over half a million units of their iconic hero product - the firming lotion known as the yellow tube of goodness. And after just 3 months of launch into Sephora Australia and New Zealand, this firming lotion is now the #1 brand and SKU under the entire body category. Alright lets get into it!

Julie Mathers is the incredible founder behind the vegan and eco retailer Flora and Fauna. Driven by their purpose and values, everything Flora and Fauna stocks is vegan and cruelty-free and everything in their range is selected based on ethics and environmental impact. Completely bootstrapped, Julie grew Flora and Fauna to $20 million dollars a year in sales. Until 2021, when Julie sold Flora and Fauna for $30 million dollars, and then went on to acquire the cult baby brand Snuggle Hunny, an 8-figure business that is experiencing really fast growth.  But then, and hold on to your socks cos this blows my mind, Julie has not only recently actually bought Flora and Fauna back, but has also bought one of their previous competitors Nourish Life. She literally now owns 3x 8-figure businesses!! Can’t wait to dive into how it all happened - alright, let’s get into it! @thelazyceo_podcast @floraandfaunaau @snugglyhunnykids

Hey poddy fam! Today I’m chatting to Jacinta McDonell who made her mark in the business world when she brought the highly successful US franchise, Anytime Fitness, into Australia in 2008. At that time, the 24/7 gym model was unheard of in Australia, but Jacinta and her brother grew Anytime Fitness to become Australia's number one health club chain - opening over 425 locations nationally and achieving an annual network revenue of over $330 million before exiting in 2017. It was super interesting to learn more about the franchise model and about how she successfully scaled up to so many locations so quickly. Fast forward to today - Jacinta is now a national board member for the Hunger Project, as well as sitting on advisory boards for other businesses and has recently started a new business Brave Spaces which supports others on their journeys of self-discovery, particularly through times of change.  Alright, let’s get into it! 

Hey poddy fam! Today I got to sit down and chat with Kristy Chong, founder of Modibodi. She saw the need to an alternative to disposable and uncomfortable solutions for periods and incontinence, so set out to create an entirely new solution and revolutionised the category by launching leak-proof underwear. Since then, that one pair has since grown into a whole new category of sustainable, reusable absorbent apparel. Modibodi sales grew from 500K in 2016 to $58M in sales by end 2021 and in 2022, Kristy sold Modibodi to a Swedish company for... wait for it... $140 million dollars! And since then, has shifted her focus to investing in women-led businesses and philanthropy. Kristy is an amazing woman, on an incredible mission. Alright, let's get into it! @modibodi @thelazyceo_podcast
