711 Cynthia Sakai: Founder of evolvetogether

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I’m joined by Cynthia Sakai, Founder and CEO of evolvetogether—the personal care brand making waves for its beautifully designed, clean, and high-performing daily essentials. With a mission to create products that connect people, community, and the planet, evolvetogether is proving that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand. In our conversation, Cynthia shares her journey as a serial entrepreneur and how she’s redefining what it means to scale a brand with purpose. We dive into the early days of product development, the non-negotiables behind her clean and sustainable formulas, and the strategy behind evolvetogether’s rapid growth in both DTC and retail. She opens up about staying authentic in a category crowded with greenwashing, how she approaches storytelling that cuts through the noise, and what it takes to build real trust with consumers. Whether you’re a brand builder, product founder, or someone who appreciates intentional design and high-impact entrepreneurship—this episode is full of insights you won’t want to miss.
