Can anyone tell the staged from the real anymore? On today’s After Dark: We’re growing increasingly certain that everything is fake now. Amazon drones delivering your package to the deep end of your backyard pool? Curiosity bait. A bunch of Kindergarten moms actually keeping up in a group thread? A Suno commercial. That behind-the-scenes footage? AI-generated – but you watched it, didn’t you? PLUS: The minds of Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have converged to craft what’s anticipated to be one of the most compelling documentaries we’ve ever seen.

Tolerate discomfort? Not today. ✨
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Bree McKeen, Founder and CEO of Evelyn & Bobbie — the intimates brand reimagining what women should expect from their bras.
Bree’s own experience as a 34G woman dealing with tension headaches, shoulder pain, and posture issues led her to question one of the most worn — and least questioned — items in a woman’s wardrobe.
We talk about how she left a finance career to reinvent the bra from the inside out, developed Evelyn & Bobbie’s patented EB Core® wire-free support technology, and built a brand focused on comfort, confidence, inclusivity, and real product innovation.

What does it really take to build a brand that lasts—not just through growth, but through every stage that follows?
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Kevin Gianni, Co-Founder and CEO of Annmarie Skin Care—a clean beauty brand built on ingredient transparency, thoughtful growth, and a commitment to doing things differently.
We talk about how Kevin built Annmarie Skin Care long before “clean beauty” became a buzzword, why he believes in making fewer, better bets instead of chasing growth at all costs, and what inspired him to launch his second company, Salt + Blue, after more than 16 years of entrepreneurship.
We also dive into what consumers should really look for in skincare, how to build trust in a crowded category, why saying “no” is one of the most important skills a founder can develop, and the lessons Kevin has learned through every season of building a business.
If you’re interested in building an enduring brand, leading through change, or learning what it really takes to grow a company without losing your values, you’ll want to hear this conversation. You can find it here or anywhere you listen to podcasts. 🎧
