Welcome to Business Casual. I am Mihae Ahn, your host and author of "The Stories We Tell" and "Perfectly Incomplete".

Business Casual brings you unfiltered conversations with badass, inspiring, highly accomplished women leaders who are changing the game. I am passionate about and believe in the power of sharing stories, our authentic, raw, and incomplete stories, getting beyond the polished LinkedIn profiles to the real humans behind the titles.

My guest today is Laurie. She has a PhD in Anthropology and is an entrepreneur. Laurie is actively applying the learnings from her study in Anthropology to her entrepreneurial journey.

Some key takeaways from our chat include:

  • Our career journey can be very much not straightforward, and there are many learnings to be gained through that winding journey.
  • We can have and pursue various interests in life. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
  • Anthropological insights can provide valuable perspective on human behavior and community dynamics.

I appreciate today's conversation so much because of how openly Laurie shared her experiences around both highs and lows of career. And I loved hearing about her passion and vision for creating meaningful change through sustainable fashion. I very much enjoyed our conversation and hope you enjoy it as well.

Music: "Come Out Tonight" by Vicki Vox (via Epidemic Sound)
