Kara Goldin: Undaunted Entrepreneurship

Adam Ashton & Adam Jones
About this episode

Kara Goldin is the founder and CEO of Hint Water. She used to drink 10 cans of diet soda a day, and found herself 45 pounds overweight with terrible acne and no energy. Making one change in her diet - swapping diet soda for flavoured water - she was able to turn her health. Then, after some experiments at her kitchen table, she "accidentally" founded a 9-figure brand.


In this episode, we speak about creating opportunities in your career (not finding opportunities, but creating them), we speak about the transition from employee to entrepreneur, and of course we discuss book recommendations at the end.
