Summary
Born into the family that once owned cult classic brand Kiehl’s, Jami Morse Heidegger is nothing short of skincare royalty. Today, Jami and her husband Klaus have launched Retrouvé, their own new family venture, that continues to focus on just that. Tune in as I sit down with Jami to discuss her childhood, her decision to sell the brand after becoming a mother and launching Retrouvé with a deep focus on potent skincare ingredients.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, this is Brook the Guard and you're listening to the Naked Beauty Podcast. |
| 0:09.3 | I hope you're somewhere settled with your headphones in because you were in for a real |
| 0:13.9 | treat with today's episode. |
| 0:15.6 | Now, I've spoken to a lot of founders, a lot of people that work in skincare, that work |

| 1:16.5 | Like, okay, you turned 21, you graduated college, now get this cushy position at keels to do |
| 1:22.3 | something at the company, very much the opposite and you'll hear her story. |
