Part 1 | From Corporate to Founder - How Jane Lu Built Showpo from Scratch

Jane Lu is the founder and CEO of global fashion brand Showpo, but her journey started far from the world of eCommerce. As the only child of traditional Chinese parents, Jane shares what it was like to emigrate from China as a young child, how she worked tirelessly in her quest to get a job good enough to support her parents and how taking a risk changed everything.

In part one of this conversation with Lorna Jane Clarkson, Jane talks about the early days of quitting her job in secret and pretending to go to work and starting a business from her parents garage. She opens up about failure, resilience and the mindset shift that helped her turn a small idea into a global brand.

The @nevergiveuppod is here to celebrate real stories of success and share what happens behind the scenes to make it happen. But it’s also important to us that we give back - so to thank each guest for sharing their story, Lorna Jane is donating $5,000 to a charity of their choice.

Jane’s chosen charity is The Hunger Project, supporting communities to end world hunger through sustainable, women-led solutions.
