  1. Take a Hint From The Founder of Hint Water ft Kara Goldin

    Take a Hint From The Founder of Hint Water ft Kara Goldin

    My guest this week is Kara Goldin, the founder and CEO of Hint Water.  Kara is also the recent author of Undaunted and the host of The Kara Goldin Show. Based in Southern California she started her brand with little to no experience in the beverage industry and  took that brand from zero to  hero by growing Hint to a $150 Million dollar Business Empire. After overcoming her Diet Coke addiction, Kara launched a non-toxic unsweetened, fruit-flavored water to solve the dilemma she personally faced with little to no options for her self to consume a truly healthy beverage that she enjoyed on the market.   Fifteen years later, Hint is still growing--and breaking into other industries - like the recent launch of Hint sunscreen, an honest SPF brand that smells good and is free of those more harmful chemicals other brands offer.  In this episode Kara and I discuss how her experience working in major journalism and big tech paved the way to her starting on her own and how she got unstuck as an entrepreneur. I thoroughly enjoyed her honest shares about not always knowing her path and that her desire to learn and ask questions fueled  her passions.  At one point in Kara’s career she had made it to the top of the tech ladder when she recognized her question seeking was no longer a welcomed notion and that was when boredom was born and around the time when Kara knew there was something else on the horizon for her.   Like many entrepreneurs - we start out in a corporate role only to find our selves unfulfilled, can you believe other people also go through this same feeling? Mind blowing. But also encouraging - for anyone who thinks they aren’t capable of turning their dream into a reality. After this episode I hope you find your self inspired to say yes to that business plan that you can’t stop thinking about - because we are all capable of moving mountains.

    The Contracting and NFT Come Up ft Levi Garrett & Michael Milton Brannon

    This week on The S2 Show, I’m joined by Levi Garrett & Milton Brannon who are both from CMR Roofing & Construction’s Florida division.  In this week's episode, we dive into the journey that leads to both Levi & Milt joining a little-known leading industry helping property owners after damage has occurred. The deep dive into how to enter into a competitive sales role in a “dirty job” industry that most people aren’t even aware of is a prime story for the current economics. Additionally, there have been some recent tragedies in the northeast (New York / New Jersey) and Louisiana after hurricane Ida and hearing from two top contractors sheds light on the process of how to get the property vendors and the behind-the-scenes of who your vendors really are and how to navigate the recent legislation regarding policy changes related to roofs. CMR is a National company that has had a very good reputation for many years and they specialize in residential, Commerical, and government work.  As a turn of events to also help you get to know Levi & Milt on a personal level - these guys school me on the NFT market and how they have been making a killing on their purchases and investments for a long time now.  After this episode, you should have more knowledge on how contractors operate as the proper owners of any kind and about how to get into this industry if you’re looking to be a shark in a new space while helping people protect their res property assets. Oh, and what’s really going on in the nft space of course.  Social Media: Follow The S2 Show  on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thes2show/ Reach out to Stephanie directly at: info@thes2show.com Check out our website to meet the team, view show notes and transcripts: www.thes2show.com
