Kevin Lawrence sits down with Jina and Clemens — siblings and the next-generation leaders of Cloré, a Canadian Black beauty supply company that’s grown from a single Toronto storefront into a 10-location business. They share the real story behind stepping into leadership after their father, what got messy, what finally created alignment, and the simple practices — curiosity, accountability, and clear “who/what/when” commitments — that helped them move from sibling tension to a strong partnership driving the company forward.
