For years Jack Oswald was a touring tennis professional. He aimed for top worldwide rankings, the key to serious earnings.

Join us for a live session from The Whalies in LA with Bryan Cano, Head of Marketing at True Classic, on a recent meteoric rise to an $850M valuation. Bryan reveals how True Classic is democratizing AI adoption across their organization by turning every employee into a technology architect and maintaining human empathy that drives authentic brand connection.

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.
