🎙️ In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with entrepreneur, innovation strategist, and Chlōq founder Alison Keutgen for a conversation that moves from motorcycles and gymnastics to entrepreneurship, personal growth, and the challenge of staying authentic in a world full of expectations.

Alison shares how childhood athletics shaped her work ethic, why motorcycle track riding feels like active meditation, and the lessons she learned from years leading product development and innovation initiatives across multiple industries. She explains why so many products fail, how great innovators validate ideas before building them, and why sales and marketing are just as important as the product itself.

The conversation then shifts to the inspiration behind Chlōq, her fragrance company focused on helping women move beyond the “impossible game” of constantly trying to meet conflicting expectations. Alison discusses confidence, self-worth, emotional resilience, and how scent can create powerful connections to memory and meaning.

This episode is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders, and anyone seeking to build a more authentic life.
