In this episode, host Jacob J. Sapochnick sits down with Tina Jo, who arrived in the U.S. from South Korea at age 15 and transformed her passion for art into a thriving career and business. Tina opens up about overcoming mental-health challenges through creative outlets, building a reputation as a fashion photographer, and pivoting to launch her own clothing label, Eight Cats. She recounts the viral moment that validated her leap into fashion design and shares the unique obstacles immigrant entrepreneurs face—from cultural barriers to establishing trust in a new market. Tina explains how staying authentic has cultivated a dedicated community around Eight Cats and offers practical advice for aspiring founders: trust the process, lean on your experiences for strength, and build a brand that empowers others through genuine expression.
