857 Dr. Heather Rogers: Founder of Doctor Rogers Skincare
On today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Heather Rogers, double board-certified dermatologist, Founder of Doctor Rogers Skincare, and Co-Founder of Modern Dermatology — a trusted voice of reason in a skincare world overloaded with trends, hype, and too many products. After years of seeing hundreds of patients each week, Dr. Rogers noticed a pattern: people were overdoing it. Damaged skin barriers. Irritation. Reactive skin. Confusing routines. Products promising results but often creating more problems. That frustration led her to build Doctor Rogers Skincare, a streamlined, fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested line focused on fewer products, scientifically grounded ingredients, and formulas designed to support healing, calm inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier. In this episode, Dr. Rogers breaks down what actually matters in skincare — and what does not. We talk about barrier-first skincare, why sensitive skin is so often misunderstood, the biggest myths and overhyped trends in the industry, and how consumers should think about terms like “clean,” “clinical,” and “medical-grade.” She also shares what it’s like to build a consumer brand as a practicing dermatologist, what she refused to compromise on, and why simplifying your routine may be one of the best things you can do for your skin.

856 Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson: Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics (Fatty15)
On today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics, the company behind Fatty15. Stephanie is a veterinary epidemiologist, author of The Longevity Nutrient, and one of the world’s leading experts on C15:0 — the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years. Stephanie’s story starts in an unexpected place: studying aging Navy dolphins. While working to improve their long-term health, she and her team discovered C15:0, a fatty acid that may play a critical role in strengthening cells and supporting healthy aging. That discovery led to years of research, more than 100 peer-reviewed studies, dozens of patents, and ultimately Fatty15 — a science-backed supplement designed to support cellular health, longevity, and overall wellness. In this episode, Stephanie shares how a breakthrough in dolphin health became a human health innovation, why she believes we have misunderstood certain saturated fats for decades, and what consumers should know about C15:0, cellular fragility, and healthy aging. We also talk about building trust in the crowded wellness space, turning serious science into a consumer brand, and why some of the biggest discoveries come from questioning what everyone assumes is true.

After struggling with a debilitating back condition and being told surgery might be her only option, Evita discovered that the right sleep setup could completely change her health — and her life. What started as a personal solution turned into a business. With deep roots in the sleep industry and access to dozens of existing products, Evita and her husband realized the market wasn’t solving the problem — so they built their own.

854 Krystal Gillis: Founder & CEO of Tighties
Turning activewear into technology that actually supports how you move — that’s the magic 🏃♀️✨ On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Krystal Gillis, Founder and CEO of Tighties, a movement technology company redefining performance apparel through alignment, muscle activation, pain management, and movement support. Krystal’s journey started long before Tighties. She founded and sold her first company at just 24, went on to work in the medical device world with companies including Abbott and Stryker, and later consulted on the launch of multiple companies, products, and a foundation. But it was while leading a product launch for an orthopedic company that she saw a gap she couldn’t ignore: active people needed something between traditional activewear and medical-grade support. That insight became Tighties — wearable movement technology designed to help active people stay active. Created with clinical experts and manufactured in San Diego, Tighties is built to support better movement, improve alignment, activate muscles, and help people train, recover, and move with more confidence. We talk about what Krystal saw in orthopedics that sparked the idea, how she brought biomechanical and clinical experts into product development, and why she doesn’t think of Tighties as just apparel. We also get into the realities of building a first-to-market category, responding to skepticism during R&D, and what it takes to communicate science-backed performance benefits in a way consumers can actually understand. Krystal also shares what it’s like raising capital as a female founder, the lessons she’s carried from building and selling her first company, and where she believes the future of performance technology is headed. If you are interested in what it takes to build a brand at the intersection of apparel, health, technology, and human movement — check out this interview on my podcast now. 🎧 Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Instead of predictable gift baskets, Boarderie delivers fully arranged, premium cheese and charcuterie boards nationwide — designed to feel more like an experience than just another package. Launched in 2021, the company didn’t just improve the model — it challenged it. And while legacy players are seeing slower growth, Boarderie is scaling quickly, staying profitable, and tapping into what consumers actually want today: something more personal, more elevated, and more memorable.

850 Nancy Yen: Founder & CEO of OMIE
What if packing a warm, healthy lunch for your kids was actually simple? On today’s episode, we welcome Nancy Yen, Founder and CEO of OMIE — a company rethinking how parents tackle everyday meals. After struggling to find a way to send her child to school with a warm, balanced lunch, Nancy set out to build what didn’t exist. What started as a personal problem turned into years of prototyping, failed iterations, and persistence — ultimately leading to a category-defining product and a bootstrapped business that has scaled to tens of millions in revenue. In this episode, Nancy shares how she turned a “mom problem” into a company, what it really takes to build and scale without outside funding, and how she’s balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood along the way.

848 Margaret Wishingrad: Co-Founder & CEO of Three Wishes
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. If you are interested in what it takes to build a brand with purpose, disrupting a legacy category, or turning a personal frustration into a national business — check out this interview on my podcast now. 🎧 Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

847 Michael Meyer: CEO of I and love and you
On today’s episode, we welcome Michael Meyer, CEO of I and love and you — a leader who’s built his career spotting opportunities others overlook and turning them into category-defining brands. From organic baby food to natural pet food, Michael has been at the center of major shifts in how consumers shop and what they expect. Now, he’s making a bold bet on one of the most underdeveloped spaces in the industry—premium cat food. With the recent acquisition of Made by Nacho and the addition of Bobby Flay as Chief Culinary Officer, Investor, and Board Member, the company is doubling down on a category that’s finally having its moment. In this episode, Michael breaks down why cats—not dogs—represent one of the biggest growth opportunities in pet, how he built an omnichannel brand across natural, grocery, mass, and ecommerce, and what it takes to scale to 30,000+ retail doors without losing quality or trust. We also get into the reality of working with strategic investors like L Catterton, how to separate real partnerships from marketing noise, and why the best founders are the ones willing to make contrarian bets early.

846 Steve Sun: Founder & CEO of Biology Fragrances
What does it take to turn fragrance into something you don’t just wear — but actually feel? On today’s episode, we welcome Steve Sun, Founder and CEO of Biology Fragrances — a brand redefining scent as a daily ritual rooted in emotional well-being. With a background spanning design, media, and storytelling at companies like The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures, Steve brings a unique lens to building brands that connect on a deeper level. Raised between Taiwan and the United States, Steve’s early experiences with scent—from traditional remedies to everyday rituals—shaped his perspective on fragrance as something functional, not just aesthetic. That perspective led him to study perfumery and ultimately launch Biology Fragrances — a small-batch, plant-based brand designed to support mood, energy, and overall well-being. Today, the brand is growing across DTC, Amazon, and retail, including a nationwide launch in Sprouts Farmers Market, bringing fragrance into a completely new channel. In this episode, Steve shares what it takes to build a new category around “functional fragrance,” how he blends storytelling with science to create emotionally resonant products, and why consumers are starting to think about scent as part of their wellness routine. We also discuss his unconventional approach to distribution, lessons from building billion-dollar entertainment brands, and what it means to create something that truly connects with modern consumers. Steve also reflects on the founder journey, the challenges of educating a new market, and what’s next for Biology Fragrances. If you’re interested in building a differentiated brand, creating products that connect on a deeper level, or redefining how consumers experience everyday rituals — this episode is for you.

844 Trip Randall: CEO of Superfeet
On today’s episode, we sit down with Trip Randall, CEO of Superfeet — a brand most people don’t think about… but probably should. Superfeet has been around for more than 50 years, originally built out of sports medicine and trusted by athletes who actually care about performance. But like a lot of legacy brands, it faced a question: stay relevant, or get left behind. Trip didn’t found the company — he stepped into it after decades at Nike and Denon, bringing a different lens on growth, digital, and what consumers actually pay attention to. Now he’s focused on evolving Superfeet into something modern, without losing the credibility that made it matter in the first place. In this episode, we get into what it really takes to scale a 50-year-old brand, why some of the biggest opportunities are hiding in “unsexy” categories, and how to make people care about something they’ve been ignoring for years. We also talk about what Trip learned from building billion-dollar businesses — and what doesn’t translate when you don’t have that same machine behind you. If you care about brand building, category disruption, or how to rethink something everyone else has overlooked — this one’s worth your time.

843 Brian Keller: Co-Founder & CEO of Rorra
What happens when a personal health issue exposes a much bigger problem? On today’s episode, we welcome Brian Keller, CEO and Co-Founder of Rorra — a brand rethinking how we access clean water. After struggling to find answers for his daughter’s severe eczema, Brian discovered the role contaminated water was playing — and it changed everything. That moment led to Rorra — a company focused on high-performance, easy-to-use water filtration that removes PFAS, lead, microplastics, and more, without the need for plumbing. In a category that hasn’t evolved in decades, Rorra is bringing transparency, better technology, and a mission-first approach to protecting families. In this episode, Brian shares the story behind Rorra, what’s broken in the filtration industry, and why water should be viewed as a foundational pillar of health.

842 Helen Christoni: Co-Founder of Make Time Wellness
Putting brain health at the center of women’s wellness — that’s the conversation 🧠✨ On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Helen Christoni, Co-Founder of Make Time Wellness, a brand redefining women’s wellness by focusing on cognitive health, daily wellness habits, and science-backed support for the brain. Helen’s journey started long before Make Time Wellness. A longtime wellness marketing executive and ultramarathoner, she spent years helping grow wellness brands while also navigating deeply personal experiences with dementia and mental health struggles within her own family. But through those experiences, she noticed a major gap she couldn’t ignore: women were prioritizing skincare, fitness, hormones, and longevity — but rarely talking about brain health until it became a crisis. That realization became Make Time Wellness — a brand Helen co-founded alongside Emma Heming Willis to help women prioritize their brain, body, and beauty through education, awareness, and science-backed wellness products. Built around the idea that cognitive health should be part of everyday wellness, Make Time Wellness is helping bring a once-overlooked conversation into the mainstream. We talk about Helen’s personal journey with dementia and cognitive health, why women’s brain health has been historically overlooked, and what it takes to build trust in a crowded wellness and supplement space. We also get into the realities of launching an emerging wellness brand, expanding into retailers like Vitamin Shoppe and Ulta, and how Make Time Wellness approaches education without fear-based marketing. Helen also shares how her background in wellness brand-building shaped her approach as a founder, the lessons she’s learned scaling an early-stage company, and why she believes brain health is becoming the next major frontier in women’s wellness. If you are interested in what it takes to build a mission-driven wellness brand, why cognitive health matters more than ever, or where the future of women’s wellness is headed — check out this interview on my podcast now.

841 Eric Ries: Author of Incorruptible
On today’s episode, we welcome Eric Ries, bestselling author of The Lean Startup and now Incorruptible — a new take on why good companies go bad, and what it actually takes to build one that doesn’t. Eric has spent decades shaping how founders think about building companies. But this conversation goes beyond startups and into something bigger: what happens as companies scale, when pressure builds, incentives shift, and mission starts to drift. Because the reality is, most companies don’t fail overnight—they slowly lose their way. In this episode, Eric breaks down the hidden forces that push companies off track, from what he calls “financial gravity” to the subtle ways governance and incentives shape behavior over time. We get into redefining profit, why mission has to be built into the operating system—not just the brand—and what founders often get wrong when it comes to long-term thinking. He also shares real examples of companies that have gotten this right—and why they’ve been able to endure when others haven’t. If you care about building something that lasts—or making sure what you build doesn’t turn into something you never intended—this is a conversation you’ll want to hear.

840 Blake Mycoskie: Founder of TOMS & We Are ENOUGH
On today’s episode, we welcome Blake Mycoskie, Founder of TOMS and Founder of We Are ENOUGH — a leader who helped redefine purpose-driven business, and is now asking a much deeper question: what if success isn’t the thing that makes you feel whole? What started as a simple idea—pairing business with giving—turned into a global movement and a $650M brand that changed how companies think about impact. But behind that success was a much more personal journey, one that led Blake to confront his own struggles with identity, mental health, and the pressure to constantly achieve. Not exactly the part of the story most people see. In this episode, Blake shares what really happens after you “make it”—and why so many high performers still feel like they’re not enough. We talk about the hidden side of ambition, the mental health challenges founders don’t often discuss, and how redefining self-worth can change the way we build businesses and live our lives. He also opens up about the transition out of TOMS, what led him to create We Are ENOUGH, and why his new podcast, No Magic Pill, is focused on having more honest conversations about what’s really going on beneath the surface. This is a must listen. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Julia’s journey is a powerful blend of creativity, vision, and leadership. From her early career in media at MTV and FX to co-founding Eventbrite in 2006, she helped grow the company into one of the largest marketplaces for shared experiences — powering more than five million events annually and processing millions of tickets every week. Along the way, she built a company known not just for its scale, but for its people-first culture and deep commitment to connection. In this episode, Julia shares what it really takes to build and scale a mission-driven company, the lessons she learned leading Eventbrite through its IPO, and how she approached one of the most pivotal moments in the company’s journey — its recent acquisition and transition into a new chapter.

838 Stacey Fraser: Founder & CEO of Pink Chicken
On today’s episode, we welcome Stacey Fraser, Founder and CEO of Pink Chicken — a brand that proves you don’t need to overcomplicate things to build something meaningful. Sometimes, it starts with a needle, some fabric, and a point of view. What began during nap-time sewing sessions for her daughters has turned into a multi-channel lifestyle brand with 400+ wholesale partners and a growing retail footprint. Not bad for something that wasn’t supposed to be a “business” at first. In this episode, Stacey breaks down what it really takes to scale a brand rooted in creativity without sanding off the edges that made people love it in the first place. We get into building with instinct vs. data, why retail still matters (yes, even now), and how to stay disciplined while keeping things joyful. She also shares the reality of going from corporate fashion to founder life—and why sometimes stepping away is exactly what leads you to something bigger. If you care about building brands that actually connect—or you’re sitting on an idea you haven’t acted on yet—this one’s worth your time.

837 Monica Nassif: Founder of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day & Author of I Bottled My Mother
On today’s episode, we welcome Monica Nassif, Founder of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day and author of I Bottled My Mother — a brand that proves even the most overlooked categories can be completely reimagined if you’re willing to challenge what everyone else accepts as “good enough.” What started as a simple idea—to make cleaning products that actually smelled good, felt good, and worked—turned into a category-defining brand that disrupted a $30 billion industry. Not bad for something most people never thought twice about. In this episode, Monica breaks down what it really takes to see opportunity where others don’t—and have the conviction to act on it. We get into building emotional connection in unlikely places, why failure is often the real teacher, and how instinct—not just data—can shape breakthrough brands. She also shares the deeply personal story behind her new book, I Bottled My Mother, and how family, resilience, and perspective shaped not just her life—but her leadership. If you care about building something meaningful, navigating both success and failure, or learning how to think differently about opportunity—this one’s worth your time.

836 David Rusenko: Founder of Weebly
What does it take to start a company at 20 years old — and scale it into a platform used by tens of millions before selling it for hundreds of millions? On today’s episode, we welcome David Rusenko, Founder and former CEO of Weebly — one of the earliest platforms to make it possible for anyone to build a website without coding. Long before “no-code” became a movement, David and his co-founders set out to simplify the internet for small businesses and entrepreneurs. After joining Y Combinator in its early days, they built Weebly into a company with over 350 employees, hundreds of millions in revenue, and more than 50 million users worldwide — ultimately leading to its $365 million acquisition by Square. In this episode, David shares the real story behind building Weebly from a college project into a global platform, including the scrappy early days, the challenges of scaling a team and culture, and the evolution of his leadership as CEO. We dive into the realities of hypergrowth, what it takes to maintain human connection while scaling, and the lessons learned from serving millions of small business owners. David also opens up about the acquisition process — how the deal with Square came together, what it felt like to sell, and the emotional and psychological transition that comes after stepping away from something you’ve built for years. If you’re interested in early-stage hustle, scaling a company, navigating an exit, or what founders don’t talk about after the deal closes — this episode is for you.

835 Allyson Mandelbaum: Founder & CEO of Shady Lady
On today’s episode, we welcome Allyson Mandelbaum, Founder & CEO of Shady Lady — a women’s hat brand redefining fit, function, and confidence by designing hats specifically made for women. After spending over 20 years as a reality TV producer, Allyson made a bold career pivot at 40 to solve a problem she personally experienced: hats simply didn’t fit women properly. What started as a frustration turned into a mission-driven brand focused on better design, comfort, and helping women feel confident in what they wear. In this episode, Allyson shares what it’s like to start over later in your career, how she validated a product idea with no prior experience in fashion or business, and the lessons she learned from expanding too quickly early on. We also talk about why “unisex” design often misses the mark, how to build a brand around a specific unmet need, and the importance of staying focused on your core product. Plus, Allyson opens up about balancing entrepreneurship with family life, trusting your instincts, and why it’s never too late to build something meaningful. A must-listen for founders, career pivoters, and anyone looking to turn a simple idea into a powerful brand.

With decades of experience building and scaling science-driven brands, Melisse is now leading Aramore at the intersection of biotech, skincare, and supplements, with a mission to move beyond surface-level beauty and address aging at its source. In this episode, Melisse breaks down the science behind NAD+ and why it’s becoming such a powerful conversation in both wellness and skincare. She shares what most people misunderstand about aging, how to separate real innovation from marketing hype, and why the future of skincare lies in supporting how our cells function—not just how our skin looks. We also dive into what it takes to bring complex science to consumers in a clear and trustworthy way, how Aramore is approaching both topical and internal solutions, and what’s next for the longevity category. A must-listen for founders, operators, and anyone curious about the future of beauty, wellness, and aging—and how science is reshaping all three.

833 Bryan Boches: Co-Founder & CEO of Safe Catch
Can one personal frustration — and a simple question — actually lead to changing an entire industry standard? On today’s episode, we welcome Bryan Boches, CEO and Co-Founder of Safe Catch — the only seafood company in the world that tests every single fish for mercury. What started as a deeply personal moment — when Bryan’s pregnant wife was told to eliminate tuna from her diet due to mercury concerns — quickly turned into a much bigger realization: why wasn’t anyone solving this problem at scale? Instead of accepting the status quo, Bryan set out to fix it. After developing breakthrough proprietary technology capable of screening every fish for mercury, he approached major seafood companies — and was met with resistance. So he did what great founders do: he built his own brand. Today, Safe Catch is in over 19,000 retail locations, setting a new benchmark for transparency, safety, and accountability in seafood. In this episode, Bryan shares what it really takes to challenge a legacy industry, the uphill battle of introducing higher standards into an established supply chain, and why incumbents often resist meaningful change. We discuss the science behind mercury testing, how to educate consumers without creating fear, and what it means to build trust in a category where transparency hasn’t always been the norm. Bryan also opens up about the realities of scaling a mission-driven business, navigating retailer relationships, and staying committed when others won’t follow.

832 Chia-Lin Simmons: CEO of LogicMark
Can personal safety evolve from a reactive alert system into a proactive, AI-driven platform — and reshape how we think about independence and care? On today’s episode, we welcome Chia-Lin Simmons, CEO of LogicMark — a company transforming from a traditional medical alert provider into a modern, connected care platform built around prevention, prediction, and everyday peace of mind. LogicMark is redefining what it means to feel safe, combining wearable devices, mobile apps, and AI-powered insights to support not just seniors, but anyone seeking greater control over their personal safety. As the population ages and millions of families navigate the growing demands of caregiving, LogicMark is focused on building solutions that are intuitive, accessible, and deeply human. Under Chia-Lin’s leadership, the company has expanded beyond hardware into a broader ecosystem designed to empower independence, reduce caregiver burden, and bring smarter, more responsive technology into the home and daily life. In this episode, Chia-Lin shares how she’s leading the company’s transformation into an AI-enabled platform, what it takes to innovate in a highly regulated and deeply personal category, and why empathy is a critical driver of product development in health tech. We also discuss the rise of the “silver tsunami,” the expanding definition of personal safety across demographics, and how technology can realistically support both users and caregivers in meaningful ways. If you’re interested in the future of health tech, the evolving care economy, or what it takes to reinvent a legacy company for a modern world — this episode is for you.
