#51: Overcoming Doubters with Kara Goldin

Today on the show we’re talking to Kara Goldin, CEO and Founder of Hint Inc. a flavored water company, and author of Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters. Kara takes us through her life story, starting with growing up in Arizona, creating opportunities to make money by making a camp with her friends and charging $5 a day for people to come and hang out. After leaving her position at AOL, Kara took some time off to focus on being a mother. During that time off Kara realized how much soda she was drinking, and wanted to make a healthy change in her diet. She quickly noticed how many unhealthy beverage options there were on the market today, and wanted to make a change. After an investor told Kara that America wouldn’t accept her flavored water brand, she used that as motivation to push herself and her brand farther than anyone thought possible.   Links:    Follow True Underdog on IG: www.instagram.com/true_underdog Reach out to Jayson directly at jayson@trueunderdog.com Follow Jayson on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayson-waller-/ Follow Jayson on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jaysonwallerbam Check out our website to meet the team, view show notes and transcripts: www.trueunderdog.com Apply for a chance to receive a $10,000 business grant: https://trueunderdog.com/underdog-achievers-program/   Mentioned in the Episode:    Kara’s book, Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters: https://karagoldin.com/undaunted Kara’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karagoldin Kara’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karagoldin/?hl=en Kara’s Website: https://karagoldin.com   Timestamps:   2:04 - Growing up in Arizona 5:19 - Pieces of Entrepreneurship 8:01 - Inspiration for the Book 10:54 - Transitioning to Entrepreneurship 13:02 - Reflecting on Self Health 15:09 - Addiction to Sweetness 19:50 - Using Doubters as Motivation 22:54 - Mission Based Company 25:54 - Blood in the Water 27:35 - Good Days Are Coming 30:05 - Creating Opportunities 32:37 - Hint Sunscreen Learn more about your ad choices.
