In this Coffee Nº5 episode, Lara sits down with Allison McNamara, Founder and CEO of MARA Beauty, to explore the non-linear path from media to building a science-backed skincare brand. A grounded conversation about discipline, focus, and earning clarity over time.

We'll talk about:

  • Why non-linear careers often lead to stronger founders
  • Building a science-backed brand without shortcuts
  • How discipline shapes product and growth decisions
  • The reality behind scaling and retail expansion
  • Why focus matters more than speed
  • When brand clarity finally clicks
