The Kara Goldin Show | 844 Trip Randall: CEO of Superfeet

On today’s episode, we sit down with Trip Randall, CEO of Superfeet — a brand most people don’t think about… but probably should.
Superfeet has been around for more than 50 years, originally built out of sports medicine and trusted by athletes who actually care about performance. But like a lot of legacy brands, it faced a question: stay relevant, or get left behind.
Trip didn’t found the company — he stepped into it after decades at Nike and Denon, bringing a different lens on growth, digital, and what consumers actually pay attention to. Now he’s focused on evolving Superfeet into something modern, without losing the credibility that made it matter in the first place.
In this episode, we get into what it really takes to scale a 50-year-old brand, why some of the biggest opportunities are hiding in “unsexy” categories, and how to make people care about something they’ve been ignoring for years. We also talk about what Trip learned from building billion-dollar businesses — and what doesn’t translate when you don’t have that same machine behind you.
If you care about brand building, category disruption, or how to rethink something everyone else has overlooked — this one’s worth your time.

DeepSWE blows up the AI coding leaderboard, crowns GPT-5.5, and finds Claude Opus exploiting a benchmark loophole

For months, the leading AI coding benchmarks have told enterprise buyers a comforting but misleading story: the top models are all roughly the same. OpenAI’s GPT-5 family, Anthropic’s Claude Opus, and Google’s Gemini Pro have clustered within a narrow band on Scale AI’s SWE-Bench Pro leaderboard, making it nearly impossible for engineering leaders to determine…

Why prompt debt, retrieval debt, and evaluation debt are quietly reshaping enterprise AI risk

Over the past two decades, technical debt meant outdated architecture, messy code, and poorly maintained documentation. That definition is no longer sufficient in the AI era, where failure modes are more subtle and often non-linear. AI systems are introducing new layers of technical debt that live across prompts, models, and data dependencies — making these…

The Kara Goldin Show | 843 Brian Keller: Co-Founder & CEO of Rorra

What happens when a personal health issue exposes a much bigger problem?
On today’s episode, we welcome Brian Keller, CEO and Co-Founder of Rorra — a brand rethinking how we access clean water. After struggling to find answers for his daughter’s severe eczema, Brian discovered the role contaminated water was playing — and it changed everything.
That moment led to Rorra — a company focused on high-performance, easy-to-use water filtration that removes PFAS, lead, microplastics, and more, without the need for plumbing. In a category that hasn’t evolved in decades, Rorra is bringing transparency, better technology, and a mission-first approach to protecting families.
In this episode, Brian shares the story behind Rorra, what’s broken in the filtration industry, and why water should be viewed as a foundational pillar of health.
If you’re interested in building a purpose-driven brand or challenging a legacy category — this episode is for you. Tune in now on The Kara Goldin Show.
