On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Allyse Cirillo, Founder and CEO of Saint Jō Skincare—a brand rewriting the rules of clean beauty.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Jiajia Sollers, Founder and CEO of Matter of Monday—a modern skincare line built for real life. Jiajia’s journey is anything but traditional: from CFO of a billion-dollar hedge fund to first-time beauty founder, she’s bringing a totally fresh lens to skincare.
Her “why”? Stress, fatigue, and blue light were wreaking havoc on her skin—and she knew she wasn’t alone. So she built a brand with high-performance, portable products for high-performance people.
We talk about what it really takes to pivot careers, create a standout product in a crowded space, and launch with intentionality in an industry where buzzwords often outpace impact. Jiajia also shares how her upbringing in China and her time on Wall Street gave her a unique advantage as a founder.

The Kara Goldin Show | 708 Jeff Shardell: Founder & CEO of Humble Brands

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Jeff Shardell, Founder and CEO of Humble Brands—the clean personal care brand that’s redefining what “natural” can (and should) be. From deodorants that actually work to sustainability initiatives that go far beyond the label, Jeff has built Humble into a trusted name at Whole Foods, Erewhon, and thousands of other retailers across the country.
Before founding Humble, Jeff was a Silicon Valley veteran—part of the early team at Google and co-founder of Gloss.com, which sold to Estée Lauder. But it was a radically different chapter of life that sparked the idea for Humble: a decade spent storm chasing and reconnecting with the basics. That journey led him to start making clean, effective deodorant out of his kitchen—and the rest is history.
We talk about why Jeff left tech to start over, what it really takes to build a brand from scratch in the crowded wellness space, and how a simple formula with four ingredients launched a national movement. He shares how Humble has grown thoughtfully—without compromising quality, values, or his own vision of what health should look like.
If you care about clean living, purpose-driven business, or the wild twists that can lead to a breakout brand—this one’s for you. Now live on The Kara Goldin Show.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Meghan Luck, Founder and CEO of Fable Fish Co., the Alaska-born seafood brand that’s reimagining what snacking can look—and taste—like. Meghan’s journey begins on her family’s fishing boats in Alaska, where she developed a deep connection to nature and the wild bounty of the ocean. After a decade working with global brands in New York, she returned to her roots with a clear mission: bring responsibly sourced, nutrient-rich seafood snacks to the modern consumer.
Fable Fish Co. is best known for its wild sockeye salmon jerky, crafted from the world’s largest sustainable wild salmon fishery in Bristol Bay, Alaska. But this is more than just jerky—it’s about honoring tradition, protecting ecosystems, and reconnecting people to the natural world through food.
In our conversation, Meghan shares what it was like to build a brand that blends heritage and innovation, how she educates consumers on traceability and nutrient density, and why she believes the future of food is as much about story as it is about sourcing. We also dive into her experience going from D1 Harvard athlete to brand strategist to purpose-driven founder, and what’s next for this ambitious seafood startup.
Whether you’re passionate about clean food, building a values-driven business, or just love a great founder story—you’ll want to listen to this one. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Maddie Hamann, Co-Founder and Director of Marketing at PACHA Bread—a clean-label food brand making radically simple, gluten-free sourdough with just two ingredients: sprouted buckwheat and sea salt.
After earning a PhD in Earth Science and spending years in oceanography, Maddie made a bold pivot—leaving research to build a brand rooted in sustainability and regenerative agriculture. At PACHA, she’s leading the charge in ingredient transparency, home-compostable packaging, and sourcing from Certified Regenerative farms. In our conversation, Maddie shares how she applied her science background to disrupt the food system, what it took to bring their unique fermentation-based products to market, and how the brand stays mission-first while scaling.
We also dive into why buckwheat is the unsung hero of gluten-free, how PACHA educates consumers through storytelling, and what founders need to know when building values-led brands in crowded categories.
If you’re interested in clean food, climate action, or building bold businesses with integrity—you won’t want to miss this one. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.
