How To Start A $800M+ Company! “We Should Pay Politicians $1M!”, “Why Christians Hated My Ad!” Charlie Gearside, Eucalyptus Co-Founder

He nearly got fired 2 weeks into his first startup, wrote a mattress ad that outraged Christians and co-founded Eucalyptus ($800M+ valuation).

Charlie Gearside is the co-founder of Eucalyptus, the healthtech company behind viral brands including Pilot, Juniper, Kin, Software and Compound. Their mission is to fix a broken healthcare system, and they aren’t afraid to use controversial (and often hilarious campaigns) to do it, saving Medicare $40M so far.

In this episode of Chew the Fat, Charlie shares why he thinks we should pay politicians $1M salaries, how Australia’s “colonial mindset” kills innovation, and why sweat equity - not property - is the smartest investment young Aussies can make.
