Kara Goldin: Creating Your Own Opportunities

This week Andrew talks with Kara Goldin. Kara is the founder of Hint, the leading unsweetened flavored water brand loved by millions. In 2004, Kara was addicted to diet soda—at times drinking 10 cans per day. One day she cut diet soda out of her life and started drinking water. She began slicing up fruit to put in her water and turned the idea into one of the most successful beverage companies in history.  Kara has been named to Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs list and her book Undaunted is a Wall Street Journal bestseller. This conversation is all about the power of persistence, being authentic, and how to create your own opportunities. Show Highlights:1:58 - Writing a letter to Fortune's Managing Editor 5:30 - Being authentic and sharing your personal story11:14 - Working for Senator John McCain 11:35 - Answering questions honestly13:25 - Giving to others14:20 - How to communicate effectively15:30 - The power of asking for help16:30 - Launching Hint20:00 - Launching Hint's first product at Whole Foods20:54 - Growing sales to $250 Million and beyond 21:25 - Being open to hearing "no"22:30 - Launching in Walmart, Costco, & Aldi22:45 - Pivoting during COVID 24:25 - Entrepreneurship26:07 - Role of failure in success29:25 - Hiring the right people29:55 - Scaling a companyCONNECT WITH ANDREW ON SOCIALTwitter: @andrewhmosesInstagram: @AndrewMoses123NEWSLETTERSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter!
