Podcasts about instyle's badass

Today's episode is really special - Kara Goldin, the founder of Hint, agreed to come on the show to talk about leadership! Kara founded Hint in 2005 and the company is best known for being the first unsweetened flavored water with no preservatives on the market. She scaled Hint to over 30,000 retail locations and over 150 employees, including growing Hint 40% during 2020. Kara has been named one of InStyle's Badass 50, Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business, Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs, EY's Entrepreneur of the Year 2017 Northern California, and in 2021 Hint was named one of Inc.'s Best-Led Companies in America. She's also been featured on How I Built This (a great interview that I recommend), and her book “Undaunted” has been a WSJ and Amazon best seller. And actually, due to some technical difficulties, my time with Kara was cut a bit short, so I've included at the end of the episode a bit of a “book club” where I share some of my favorite pieces from Kara's book, which I highly recommend. Listen in as Kara shares about: - Leading during tough times and her mindset - Stories from leading during the pandemic and how Hint grew 40% during 2020 - How Hint expanded business with Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, and Aldi during the pandemic - The early days of growing Hint and leveling up as a leader and how lack of industry experience can be an advantage - Communicating effectively and with transparency, especially during uncertainty, and how follow up is critical - Managing Employee growth and development as a leader - And more!

Complacency = Death (ft. Kara Goldin)The power of momentum on the path to purposeOPENING QUOTE:“So often people sort of get stuck, I guess it's the goal. Go find your purpose, go find your mission. But sometimes in order to find that purpose and mission, you just have to start with not staying complacent.”—Kara GoldinGUEST BIO:Kara Goldin is the founder of Hint, best known for its award-winning and industry-leading Hint Water. She's also the bestselling author of Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters. She's been named to InStyle's Badass 50, Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business, Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs, Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Northern California and one of the Huffington Post's six disruptors in business alongside the likes of Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.Links:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterInstagramFacebookWikiUndaunted, book by Kara GoldinCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[4:32] - What's the Worst that Can Happen?A simple question with powerful implicationsTo become undaunted, you have to boldly confront the worst-case scenario and determine that it's not enough to derail you from your path. If you ask yourself what's the worst that can happen, then when the worst happens you are entirely unphased. [11:27] - Turning Setbacks Into MomentumHow Kara turned a devastating blow into renewed focusWhen Hint water was dropped from Starbucks stores after a new buyer switched up their strategy, Kara was devastated. But instead of languishing in frustration, she listened. She networked. She didn't stay complacent, and she kept moving forward. Then she got an email from Amazon about a grocery business they were starting…[33:54] - Sometimes Purpose Begins with FunCan't find what you love? Start with what you enjoyNot everyone gets a bolt-of-lightning flash of insight about their purpose when they're still a teenager. For many, the only place to begin is with the things you enjoy. Love playing music? Follow that. Love being an entrepreneur? Go that way. You can't know your direction until you set off toward some goal, even if it doesn't ultimately become your destination.[44:37] - Misery Loves CompanyFeeling lost? Consider the greatsSteve Jobs felt lost. Da Vinci felt lost. Throughout history, some of the great geniuses and innovators experienced stumbles and roadblocks. When you're feeling stuck, look to them for inspiration— not to revel in their wins, but to see that even the most worthwhile ideas and innovators have experienced bumps (or massive, inescapable craters) on their road to success.RESOURCES:[1:13] About Hint[1:23] Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters[17:36] The Power of Playing OffenseFollow Kara:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterInstagramFacebookWikiUndaunted, book by Kara GoldinFollow Paul:Playmakers PodcastThe Power of Playing OffenseLinkedInFacebookTwitterInstagramYoutubeSHOW PARTNER:The WHY InstituteAre you ready to find your ‘why'?

My guest today is Kara Goldin, the CEO and Founder of Hint Inc.- one of the most successful beverage businesses of our time. Kara has received numerous accolades including being named one of InStyle's Badass 50, Fast Company's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs, and EY Entrepreneur of the Year for Norther California.Kara is also the author of Undaunted - Overcoming Doubts and Doubters - a Wall Street Journal and Amazon best-selling business book. In it, Kara shares real stories about her fears and doubts, the challenges she encountered, and what she did to overcome them to become successful - both in business and in her personal life.I invited Kara to be a guest on my show to talk about the meteoric rise of the Hint brand. I wanted to learn how she overcame an endless series of “no” and “you can't” to becoming an iconic brand and the #1 flavoured water company in the U.S. And finally, I was curious to hear about Hint's branding, and what they do differently to stand out in the crowded beverage space.

Today's guest, Kara Goldin, is an energetic spirit of fearless solutions. She is a magnet attracting KINDNESS in CULTURE that continuously discovers answers by asking questions. One of the most endearing traits that I found in Kara is her willingness to share WHAT SHE HAS LEARNED so freely with the world. She has been named one of InStyle's Badass 50, Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business, Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs, Fortune's Most Innovative Women in Food & Drink and EY Entrepreneur of the Year for Northern California. In her life she has always led with authentic curiosity to learn more. And then she ADVANCES forward. She owns her mistakes, accepts things, absorbs lessons, shares learnings, and moves forward. She laughs a lot and appropriately, as a reminder to NOT TAKE OBSTACLES too detrimentally serious. She will find a SOLUTION. "IN 2004, I HAD TERRIBLE ACNE, ZERO ENERGY, AND I WAS 45 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT. SO I DECIDED TO SEE A DOCTOR. Almost immediately, I found the culprit — diet soda. I was addicted to the stuff at that time, drinking upwards of 10 cans a day. I'll be the first to admit that the word “diet” had totally fooled me. Gosh, I thought I was being so responsible. When I read the full list of ingredients and didn't even recognize most of them – I thought, what the heck was I drinking?! That day, I decided to cut diet soda out of my life and started drinking water instead. Three months later, my acne was gone, I was bursting with energy, and I had lost 40 pounds!" We discuss: -Grass roots selling, finding your tribe of ambassadors to request your product -Approaching every opportunity with a "What's the worst that can happen" attitude -Creating a KINDNESS CULTURE where employees and co-workers could THRIVE, when she found a lack of KINDNESS at other jobs -LEADING BY EXAMPLE, and only asking others to do what she would do Read her book (Undaunted, published by Harper Leadership) to learn about her encounter with a rattlesnake and two coyotes. And how that defined and symbolizes her life. The Huffington Post listed her as one of six disruptors in business, alongside Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg. She is an active speaker & writer and hosts the podcast The Kara Goldin Show where she interviews founders, entrepreneurs and other disruptors across various industries.
