The Kara Goldin Show | 848 Margaret Wishingrad: Co-Founder & CEO of Three Wishes

from The Kara Goldin Show · host CommerceTracks

Turning a childhood favorite into something parents can actually feel good about — that’s the magic 🥣✨ On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Margaret Wishingrad, Co-Founder and CEO of Three Wishes, the better-for-you cereal brand taking on one of the most legacy-dominated aisles in grocery. Margaret started Three Wishes with her husband and co-founder, Ian, after becoming a parent and realizing how hard it was to find a cereal that kids loved — and parents trusted. No food manufacturing background. No easy roadmap. Just a big idea, a lot of grit, and the belief that cereal could be rebuilt from the ground up. We talk about what it really takes to challenge billion-dollar incumbents, how Three Wishes balances nostalgia with nutrition, and the lessons Margaret learned scaling from a kitchen-table idea to more than 15,000 stores, including Walmart, Target, Costco, Whole Foods, and Sprouts. Margaret also shares what it’s like building a company with your spouse, leading through uncertainty, and trusting your instincts when you’re creating something consumers don’t even realize they’ve been waiting for.
