Episode 23: Cristina Lynch is the Founder and CEO of Mi Golondrina—a fashion and lifestyle brand inspired by the rich and colorful culture of Mexico. Every Mi Golondrina garment is born in the small villages of Mexico, hand-stitched by skilled artisans who have been using these methods for over 200 years. As a young girl, Cristina frequented her grandfather’s ranch house in Mexico and would see small swallows or ‘golondrinas’ nesting in the eaves of the roof. She envisioned these golondrinas flying about, delivering the beauty of Mexico to women all over the world.

We discuss:

- How Cristina decided to start her own business

- The biggest challenges she’s faced in bringing her brand to the market

- How she’s been able to scale a handmade clothing business

- What about the Mexican culture inspires her the most

- Lessons she learned from her entrepreneurial family and career experiences, including working at Oscar de la Renta
