Bo Carney's path to founding Mohawk General Store began with a nomadic upbringing in Korea, Austria, and Texas, followed by studying fashion in Italy. There, she met her husband, and they unexpectedly opened their store in Los Angeles, trusting their instincts over conventional retail rules. Bo opens up about the profound impact of her father's death and how a retreat helped her process grief and break free from limiting cultural beliefs. She also recounts a harrowing experience of being held at gunpoint and discusses the delicate balance of being married to her business partner. Her Korean heritage influences her minimalist aesthetic, and she advises aspiring entrepreneurs to start small, trust their intuition, and use small purchases to build intention and manifest larger goals.
