The Secret Sauce of Being Authentic to Yourself as a Product Boss with Jamie Kern Lima

Today we're sharing a very special interview with billion-dollar product boss, Jamie Kern Lima, Co-Founder of It Cosmetics and author of her new book Believe It! After creating It Cosmetics from her living room and building her business for 8 years, she sold it to L'Oréal for 1.2 BILLION dollars. Jamie is the FIRST female CEO in L'Oréal's 100+ year history. As a mother of two, wife, entrepreneur, author, billion-dollar business success story, thought leader, philanthropist, and champion of women, Jamie has an incredibly unique and invaluable insight into what it takes to build a product-based business.

Jamie is sitting down to chat with us about her new book, Believe It, finding your deep "why", and finding confidence in yourself as a product-based business owner. She's sharing the real story of how she went from a woman who didn't believe and trust in herself to becoming a woman who has broken through her own self-doubt barrier, fully believes in herself, and trusts in her own intuition. As she peels back the layers of her "why", Jamie shares the healing realization that you are not alone.
