On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Elisabeth Galvin, Co-Founder of Stellar Snacks, the mother-daughter-owned company reinventing one of America's most classic snacks: the pretzel. We talk about how Elisabeth and her daughter Gina built Stellar from scratch, why they chose to take on the complexity of manufacturing themselves, and how unexpected flavors like Maui Monk and French Dijon helped them bring something completely different to the category. Elisabeth also shares what it's really like to build a company with your daughter, why Stellar puts taste ahead of trends, the story behind its unique Artist Program, and what more than 30 years as an entrepreneur have taught her about spotting opportunities and building brands that last. This is a great conversation about entrepreneurship, family, food, and having the courage to rethink a category everyone else takes for granted.

On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Chris Salgardo, Founder and CEO of ATWATER, and former President of Kiehl’s. After more than 40 years in beauty, Chris left the corporate world to build a skincare and grooming brand of his own. We talk about what nearly two decades at Kiehl’s taught him about building brands that last, why he decided to become an entrepreneur, what men still get wrong about skincare, and why simpler, high-performance routines are winning with consumers. Chris has seen the beauty business from almost every angle—from starting as a makeup artist at 18 to leading major brands and ultimately becoming a founder himself. This is a great conversation about reinvention, starting over, and what decades of experience can teach you about building something new.

Building a new luxury brand from scratch—and aiming for $100 million—is an entirely different challenge. ✨ On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Lola Banjo, Founder and Chief Executive of Silver & Riley, the luxury fashion and travel accessories brand she launched in 2019. Lola built Silver & Riley while balancing a demanding corporate career, investing her own capital and learning firsthand that understanding business and actually building one are two very different things. Today, Silver & Riley is a multimillion-dollar business with an incredibly loyal customer base and a hero product—the New Yorker Bag—that has repeatedly sold out. But Lola isn’t thinking small. Her goal is to reach $100 million in annual sales by year ten and ultimately build a billion-dollar global luxury house. We talk about what happens after you’ve proven product-market fit, why finding your next customer can be harder than keeping the ones you already have, and what really changes as you try to go from millions to $100 million. Lola also gets candid about putting her own money into the business, the hidden cost of being undercapitalized, scaling manufacturing without sacrificing quality, and why some founders seem to get funded on potential while others are expected to show up with proof. If you’re interested in luxury, consumer brands, capital, entrepreneurship, or what it really takes to turn a successful company into a much bigger one—this is a conversation you’ll want to hear.

On today’s episode, we welcome Sam Nebel, Co-Founder, Chief Commercial Officer — and King of All Wipes — at goodwipes, the bold personal hygiene brand changing the way people think about one of the most basic routines in our lives. Sam and his team have taken flushable wipes from an overlooked category and made them fun, culturally relevant, and increasingly mainstream, with goodwipes now sold at major retailers including Target, Walmart, and Kroger. In this episode, Sam shares how goodwipes is challenging the status quo in personal hygiene, what makes a wipe actually flushable, and why “butt health” may be the next frontier of wellness. We also get into what it really takes to win in CPG — from retail velocity, category analytics, manufacturing, and supply chain to building a company in the field instead of behind a laptop. Plus, Sam shares why “team > founder,” how his philosophy of “have fun and get sh*t done” shapes the culture, and what brands can learn from goodwipes’ unexpected collaborations with OLIPOP and Liquid Death.

On today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Karan Rajan, Founder and CEO of LOAM — a science-backed, doctor-formulated prebiotic fiber brand rethinking how we support the gut microbiome. After more than a decade as a doctor and surgeon, Karan became one of the world’s most recognized health educators, building an audience of more than 12 million followers by making complex medical science understandable and useful. In 2025, he launched LOAM after recognizing a major gap: an estimated 95% of adults aren’t getting enough fiber. In this episode, Karan breaks down what fiber actually does for the microbiome, what most of us misunderstand about gut health, and how to separate legitimate science from wellness hype. He also shares what it’s been like going from doctor and health educator to entrepreneur — and the responsibility that comes with putting his name and medical credibility behind a product.

On today’s episode, we welcome Heather Sloan, Co-Founder of Heali Medical — a wellness company creating wearable, drug-free products designed to help people manage pain, recover, and keep moving. A trained chiropractor with more than a decade of experience in medical sales, Heather saw firsthand how many patients and athletes were looking for better ways to manage pain and recovery in their everyday lives. Together with Co-Founder Enwei Li, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, Heather built Heali around a different approach. Starting with kinesiology tape incorporating magnesium and menthol, Heali has expanded into products addressing muscle recovery, headaches, period pain, pelvic discomfort, and more. In this episode, Heather shares how they turned that idea into a profitable, largely self-funded business, scaled into more than 26,000 retail doors, and what she’s learned about building and selling physical products along the way. We also get into some incredible founder stories — from Dragon’s Den and Floyd Mayweather to the lengths you sometimes have to go to simply get the job done. If you’re interested in wellness, consumer products, retail growth, entrepreneurship, or what it really takes to build and scale a brand without relying heavily on outside capital — this one’s for you.

On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Dinah Bengur, Co-Founder and CEO of Pitango Gelato Franchise Co. — the artisanal gelato brand known for authentic Italian gelato and sorbet made from scratch with high-quality ingredients. We talk about why Pitango decided to franchise, what Dinah learned from working with major franchise systems before building one herself, and what entrepreneurs should really understand before buying—or building—a franchise. We also get into choosing the right franchisees, protecting quality as you scale, the economics of restaurant growth, and what makes a concept truly replicable. If you’re interested in franchising, restaurant growth, consumer brands, or what it really takes to scale a great local concept, you’ll want to hear this conversation.

What if the future isn’t about temporarily fixing what we see on the surface — but understanding how to help our skin function, repair, and regenerate differently as we age? On today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Ivona Igerc, better known as Dr. Ivy, an internationally recognized aesthetic doctor and regenerative medicine expert with more than two decades of experience working at the intersection of science, skin health, and aesthetics. Her career has taken her across Europe and Asia, giving her a unique perspective on how beauty, aging, and skincare differ around the world. Today, she practices on Harley Street in London and is the Founder of Dr Ivy Skincare. In this episode, Dr. Ivy shares what regenerative skincare actually means, what consumers should understand about exosomes and stem-cell science, and why she created a skincare line designed to bridge the gap between clinical treatments and daily at-home care. We also get into the Asian beauty movement, how approaches to aesthetics differ from East to West, LED and laser technology, collagen, biohacking beauty, and where the marketing around longevity and skincare may be getting ahead of the science. Plus, Dr. Ivy shares what she believes the next generation of regenerative medicine could mean for how we think about skin health and aging. If you’re interested in skincare, healthy aging, regenerative medicine, beauty, wellness, or simply understanding what’s science versus hype in one of the fastest-moving areas of beauty — this one’s for you.

On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with KJ Miller, Co-Founder and President of Mented Cosmetics and President of Elevated Beauty Group. Mented launched in 2017 with six nude lipsticks created with deeper skin tones in mind, helping prove that inclusive beauty wasn't a niche—it was good business. We talk about how KJ built Mented into one of the early leaders in inclusive beauty, what it took to expand beyond its original hero products, and how the category has evolved as inclusivity moved from an overlooked opportunity to an industry-wide conversation. We also dive into the realities of raising outside capital, the toughest lessons KJ learned while scaling Mented, and the brand's 2024 acquisition by West Lane Capital Partners. Today, KJ oversees four beauty brands through Elevated Beauty Group, giving her a unique perspective on what separates a great product from a brand with real staying power. If you're interested in inclusive beauty, building and scaling consumer brands, raising capital, navigating an acquisition, or what founders learn when they move to the other side of the table, you'll want to hear this conversation.
