On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Debbie Mullin, Founder & CEO of Copper Cow Coffee — the premium Vietnamese coffee brand on a mission to modernize and elevate the traditional Vietnamese coffee experience for U.S. consumers. What began as an idea to merge her Vietnamese heritage with a commitment to ethical sourcing and innovative design has grown into the leading Vietnamese coffee brand in America. Copper Cow is now a national favorite, found in over 3,000 retail doors including Target, Whole Foods, Costco, and H-E-B, and beloved for its signature single-serve pour overs, bold flavors, and all-natural creamers.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Xeba Zareie, Founder of Preme — the gut health brand making daily digestion support simple, science-backed, and actually doable for even the most sensitive stomachs. What started in her Dallas kitchen has become a line of low-FODMAP prebiotic powders and drink mixes, co-developed with a functional medicine doctor, that are redefining what gut care looks like.
Before launching Preme, Xeba spent years battling chronic gut issues with little relief from conventional medicine. After discovering functional medicine and the power of a low-FODMAP diet, she set out to create products that not only worked for her but could help countless others struggling in silence. Today, Preme stands out for its transparency, third-party testing, and clean sourcing — offering the only FODMAP-friendly prebiotic beverage on the market. Xeba opens up about the highs and lows of starting a wellness CPG brand, why she chose to focus on prebiotics over probiotics, and the lessons she’s learned about building with integrity and intention.
Whether you’re interested in health, wellness, or the grit it takes to launch a consumer brand from scratch — this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by FX Rouxel, Founder and CEO of Gardyn — the smart indoor gardening brand reimagining how we grow and eat food at home. Gardyn empowers anyone to grow fresh, nutrient-rich produce year-round with no green thumb required. Using patented Hybriponics® technology, AI-powered plant care, and optimized LED lighting, Gardyn delivers 8–10 pounds of produce monthly — enough to feed a family of four — all from just 2 square feet of space.
Before launching Gardyn, FX was training for an Ironman when he noticed his energy plateauing despite following a healthy diet. He realized that much of the “fresh” produce he ate had lost nutritional value during long transit times. Drawing on his background in clean energy, automation, and AI, he created Gardyn as a more sustainable, nutrient-dense, and convenient alternative to the modern food system. Since then, Gardyn has been named one of TIME’s Best Inventions, recognized as one of TIME’s Top Greentech Companies, and honored by Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards. FX opens up about the inspiration behind Gardyn, the challenges of rethinking food production, and his vision for a more sustainable, food-secure future.
Whether you’re passionate about wellness, sustainability, or the future of food, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Van Hong, Co-Founder of Mint Tools — the professional hair tool brand designing high-performance, ergonomic styling tools built with stylists in mind. Mint was founded by two best friends who combined over 40 years of beauty industry experience and electrical engineering expertise to solve a major gap in the market: salon tools weren’t designed for the people actually using them. Today, Mint’s line of curling irons, blow dryers, and brushes deliver salon-quality results with comfort, safety, and durability at the forefront.
Before launching Mint, Van spent years as a stylist himself, constantly frustrated with tools that were heavy, clunky, and unreliable. Pairing that experience with his co-founder’s technical background, the two reimagined what professional styling tools could be. From salon demos to consumer feedback, Mint has built a reputation for innovation, transparency, and products that last. Van opens up about the process of testing new tools in salons, what makes Mint different from competitors, how he thinks about safety and design for wigs and extensions, and the exciting trends shaping the future of hair styling technology.
Whether you’re a stylist, beauty enthusiast, or curious about what it takes to turn an industry pain point into a thriving brand, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Samantha Gold, Founder and CEO of Motette—the fast-growing children’s clothing brand redefining modern parenting with stylish, ultra-soft bamboo essentials and built-in sun protection.

Before launching Motette, Samantha served as CEO of Elizabeth James the Label, where she grew the women’s clothing brand into an eight-figure business. Today, she’s bringing that same scrappy, strategic mindset to Motette—building with lean systems, intentional growth, and a focus on redefining what’s possible in children’s fashion.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Luna Aziz, Founder and CEO of Legendairy Milk—a wellness brand born from her own journey through the unfiltered realities of new motherhood. After struggling with low milk supply and reacting badly to fenugreek, Luna turned to research and cultural traditions to create effective, fenugreek-free lactation support blends. Starting in her backyard, she crafted what she couldn’t find on store shelves—and in doing so, sparked a movement that now supports women through every hormonal chapter of life, from trying to conceive to postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.
In our conversation, Luna shares the deeply personal story behind Legendairy Milk and how she transformed a personal struggle into a thriving, mission-driven business. We talk about the power of community, the role of science and ancient wisdom in her formulations, and how she’s rewriting the conversation around women’s health. She opens up about scaling a brand in a crowded supplement market, building trust with over a million women worldwide, and creating products that meet women where they are—no judgment, no taboos, just real solutions.

Steve shares the gritty details of what it really took to scale Fruitist—from controlling the entire supply chain to solving for flavor consistency in fresh fruit. We talk about why most people underestimate the power of brand in commoditized categories, how he built trust in an industry that historically lacked it, and why Fruitist isn’t just a fruit company—it’s a systems company.

Inspired by her own search for high-quality, pregnancy-safe products during her first pregnancy, Lara saw a clear gap in the market and set out to create something better. After more than two years of research and development, PURE MAMA launched in 2021 and quickly became the leading premium pregnancy skincare brand in New Zealand and Australia — selling out within months, growing over 1600% in its first year, and making history as the first of its kind to be stocked by prestige beauty giant MECCA.
In our conversation, Lara shares the story behind PURE MAMA’s rapid rise, including how she scaled the brand internationally with launches in Erewhon, Nordstrom, Revolve, and Goop.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Stephen Williamson, Co-Founder and CEO of Forager Project—the family-owned, organic, dairy-free creamery crafting premium yogurts, milks, and creamers from cashews and coconuts. Founded in 2013 with his stepson, JC Hanley, Forager Project was born from a bold mission: to flip the dairy model so plants make up 85% of global consumption instead of just 15%.
Before launching Forager Project, Stephen served as Chairman and CEO of Odwalla, helping grow the brand into a $400 million fresh juice leader before its acquisition by Coca-Cola. Guided by a deep commitment to organic ingredients, sustainability, and his “soil to soul” philosophy, Stephen is reshaping what dairy can mean for people and the planet.
In our conversation, Stephen shares how his experiences at Odwalla influenced Forager’s creation, why he bet early on building his own manufacturing plant, and the strategies that helped scale the brand to over 10,000 stores nationwide. We also dive into the challenges of perfecting plant-based Greek-style yogurt, the role of conscious capitalism in decision-making, and how Forager continues to innovate in a crowded plant-based market.
