Meet Adam Bouris - CEO, co-founder of WHO IS ELIJAH, and an Aussie guy who left school in Year 11 only to end up at the helm of one of Australia’s most exciting fragrance brands. How did he go from a classic startup in a garage to having scents on shelves across the globe? It’s all about his fierce competitive streak, willingness to put in the work, and a relentless ‘prove it’ mentality.

In this episode, Adam opens up about his wild journey. After starting multiple businesses in all different fields, we talk about all things capital raising, building the perfect team, and embracing the “get to market quickly, pivot even quicker” approach.
