In this episode, Ana shares how she saw an opening in a category dominated by legacy brands and built Amante as a modern alternative. We talk about challenger-brand strategy, winning distribution, building desire around a premium product, changing drinking habits, and what it takes to compete against companies with much bigger budgets.

  888 Kevin Gianni: Co-founder & CEO of Annmarie Skin Care & Salt + Blue

  Sep 7, 202633 min

  What does it really take to build a brand that lasts—not just through growth, but through every stage that follows? On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Kevin Gianni, Co-Founder and CEO of Annmarie Skin Care—a clean beauty brand built on ingredient transparency, thoughtful growth, and a commitment to doing things differently. We talk about how Kevin built Annmarie Skin Care long before "clean beauty" became a buzzword, why he believes in making fewer, better bets instead of chasing growth at all costs, and what inspired him to launch his second company, Salt + Blue, after more than 16 years of entrepreneurship. We also dive into what consumers should really look for in skincare, how to build trust in a crowded category, why saying "no" is one of the most important skills a founder can develop, and the lessons Kevin has learned through every season of building a business. If you're interested in building an enduring brand, leading through change, or learning what it really takes to grow a company without losing your values, you'll want to hear this conversation.

  887 Daniel Kiyoi: Co-Founder of Nocturnal Skincare

  Sep 4, 202633 min

  What happens when you've spent years helping build some of the world's biggest beauty brands—and decide it's time to create one that's completely different? On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I'm joined by Daniel Kiyoi, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Nocturnal Skincare. Before launching Nocturnal, Daniel built his career at iconic companies including Estée Lauder, Smashbox Cosmetics, Tarte Cosmetics, TULA, and L'Oréal. After years of helping shape global beauty brands, he set out to build one rooted in something much deeper: intentional design, cultural authenticity, and products that truly perform. Daniel shares the story behind Nocturnal, a luxury skincare brand inspired by Japandi—the fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality. We discuss why he and his co-founder spent four years developing the brand before launching, why they chose to begin with a single hero product, and why they believe the future of skincare is about creating fewer, smarter products that work with the skin rather than against it. We also dive into the unexpected success of the brand's now cult-favorite Japandi Knot Bag, how Daniel's Japanese heritage influences everything from product design to storytelling, and what he's learned about entrepreneurship after years working inside some of the biggest companies in beauty. Whether you're a founder, marketer, product builder, or simply fascinated by how meaningful brands are created, this conversation is packed with practical insights on patience, creativity, authenticity, and building a company with a clear point of view.

  886 Caroline Dell: Co-Founder of Goodword

  Sep 2, 202630 min

  What if your greatest competitive advantage isn't your product, your funding, or even your experience—but the relationships you've built over time? On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I'm joined by Caroline Dell, Co-Founder and CEO of Goodword, an AI-powered relationship management platform helping founders and operators turn their networks into one of their most valuable business assets. Before launching Goodword, Caroline was a founding executive at Chief, where she helped scale the company from 200 members to 20,000 and more than $120 million in ARR, recruiting 80% of its top-tier talent and helping build one of the fastest-growing female-founded companies to reach unicorn status. Before Chief, she was one of the earliest employees at LOLA and began her career at Bain & Company. In this episode, Caroline shares what she learned from helping build high-growth companies before becoming a founder herself, why relationships—not transactions—have shaped every stage of her career, and how those experiences inspired her to create Goodword. We also discuss why AI should strengthen human connection rather than replace it, what founders often misunderstand about networking, how to identify the relationships that matter most, and why investing in your network may be one of the highest-return activities of your career. Whether you're building a company, growing your career, raising capital, or simply looking to become a better leader, this conversation is full of practical insights on leadership, relationships, scaling teams, and creating opportunities that last. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why Caroline left Chief to co-found Goodword The lessons she learned helping scale Chief from 200 members to over $120 million in ARR Why relationships are a founder's greatest competitive advantage The difference between networking and building meaningful relationships How AI can strengthen—not replace—human connection Why great operators often become exceptional founders What it takes to recruit and build high-performing teams Caroline's advice for founders looking to build lasting careers and companies If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's passionate about entrepreneurship, leadership, AI, and building meaningful relationships.
