Our system did one thing, and it did it well: It turned natural-language questions into API calls. The users were analysts, account managers, and operations leads. They knew what data they needed, but assembling it manually meant pulling from four dashboards, two BI tools, and a Salesforce report builder. With our system, they typed the…

Microsoft used its Build 2026 conference this week to push a clear message: agents are rapidly moving into production throughout enterprise systems, and the winning platform will be the one that gives them reliable context, governance, identity, memory — and secure access to enterprise data. The company announced Microsoft IQ as a context layer across…

When someone on a team corrects an AI agent — better prompts, better feedback, better context — that improvement disappears the moment a colleague opens the same tool. The correction doesn’t transfer, and the next person starts from zero. The problem compounds in multi-agent workflows, where teams expect agents to share context across users and…

Meta’s AI support agent bound recovery emails to accounts for whoever asked, and SOCs never saw an alert. An authorized agent writes a log of legitimate transactions, so nothing in the detection stack fired. Attackers asked the bot to make the change, took the one-time code it sent, and ran the password reset, 404 Media…

Turning a childhood favorite into something parents can actually feel good about — that’s the magic 🥣✨
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Margaret Wishingrad, Co-Founder and CEO of Three Wishes, the better-for-you cereal brand taking on one of the most legacy-dominated aisles in grocery.
Margaret started Three Wishes with her husband and co-founder, Ian, after becoming a parent and realizing how hard it was to find a cereal that kids loved — and parents trusted. No food manufacturing background. No easy roadmap. Just a big idea, a lot of grit, and the belief that cereal could be rebuilt from the ground up.
We talk about what it really takes to challenge billion-dollar incumbents, how Three Wishes balances nostalgia with nutrition, and the lessons Margaret learned scaling from a kitchen-table idea to more than 15,000 stores, including Walmart, Target, Costco, Whole Foods, and Sprouts.
Margaret also shares what it’s like building a company with your spouse, leading through uncertainty, and trusting your instincts when you’re creating something consumers don’t even realize they’ve been waiting for.
If you are interested in what it takes to build a brand with purpose, disrupting a legacy category, or turning a personal frustration into a national business — check out this interview on my podcast now. 🎧

What would happen if you woke up tomorrow and were suddenly taxed an extra 33% on every dollar of profit your business produced? In this rerun episode, I break down why that scenario isn’t far off from what many founders are already doing, simply by failing to optimize their pricing, overhead, and after-tax income. Listen…
