Business Casual: The Stories We Tell, In and Outside of the Boardroom

My guest today is Clara Jina Kim, co-founder and CEO of Cloré Beauty, a family business rooted in entrepreneurship, community, and care.

 

Raised in an entrepreneurial family, Jina grew up immersed in the world of business, learning not just how to build something, but how to lead with trust, respect, and connection. What stood out to me about Jina is the depth of reflection she brings to her journey. There is a quiet strength in the way she speaks about intuition, family, and the evolving stories we tell ourselves.

Today’s conversation explores the intersection of family, identity, and leadership. Jina shares her experience of growing within a family business, becoming a mother, and navigating the balance between personal and professional life. Some key takeaways from our discussion:

​​​​

• The stories we tell ourselves can shape our path, but they can also be rewritten as we grow.  

• Intuition is often built through experience, space, and the freedom to make our own mistakes.   

• Balancing life, family, and ambition is not about perfection, but about making intentional choices in each season.   

 

Please enjoy this heartfelt and reflective conversation with Jina about entrepreneurship, motherhood, and building a life rooted in purpose, connection, and self-awareness.
