Pet food needed a reality check. Open Farm gave it one. ✨
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Jacqueline Prehogan, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Open Farm — one of the fastest-growing premium pet food brands in North America.
This is a brand built on a simple but powerful idea: if pets are family, then we should know what we’re feeding them.
We talk about how Jacqueline helped build Open Farm around responsibly sourced ingredients, high animal welfare standards, sustainability, and radical transparency — long before those words became marketing buzzwords in the pet aisle.
And let’s be honest: pet parents are asking harder questions now. Where did this ingredient come from? How was it sourced? Is this actually better for my dog or cat, or is it just another pretty bag on the shelf?
Jacqueline shares how Open Farm has scaled into more than 9,500 retail locations while staying true to its values, what it takes to build trust in a crowded category, and why transparency is not a nice-to-have when people are feeding your product to a member of their family.
We also get into building a certified B Corp, growing a mission-driven brand without watering it down, and what Jacqueline has learned from building both Open Farm and Canada Pooch.
If you care about consumer brands, pet health, sustainability, retail, or what it really takes to build a company with a point of view — this is one to listen to.

What if managing everyday pain didn’t have to mean pills, creams, or simply living with it?
On today’s episode, we welcome Heather Sloan, Co-Founder of Heali Medical — a wellness company creating wearable, drug-free products designed to help people manage pain, recover, and keep moving. A trained chiropractor with more than a decade of experience in medical sales, Heather saw firsthand how many patients and athletes were looking for better ways to manage pain and recovery in their everyday lives.
Together with Co-Founder Enwei Li, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, Heather built Heali around a different approach. Starting with kinesiology tape incorporating magnesium and menthol, Heali has expanded into products addressing muscle recovery, headaches, period pain, pelvic discomfort, and more. In this episode, Heather shares how they turned that idea into a profitable, largely self-funded business, scaled into more than 26,000 retail doors, and what she’s learned about building and selling physical products along the way. We also get into some incredible founder stories — from Dragon’s Den and Floyd Mayweather to the lengths you sometimes have to go to simply get the job done.
If you’re interested in wellness, consumer products, retail growth, entrepreneurship, or what it really takes to build and scale a brand without relying heavily on outside capital — this one’s for you. Tune in now on The Kara Goldin Show. 🎧

How do you take a place, a memory, and a feeling—and turn them into a fragrance brand that stands out in one of the most crowded categories in luxury?
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Andrew Rose, Founder of Montauk Man—a new fragrance house inspired by the raw beauty, contrasts, and character of Montauk.
We talk about Andrew’s lifelong fascination with fragrance, why experiencing Montauk in the quiet of winter inspired him to build the brand, and how he worked with renowned perfumers Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Antoine Maisondieu to create the debut collection of four distinct fragrances.
We also get into what actually makes a luxury brand, how you sell scent in a digital world, the connection between fragrance and memory, and how Andrew plans to take a brand rooted in one very specific place and make it resonate far beyond it.
If you’re interested in fragrance, luxury, entrepreneurship, brand building, or what it takes to turn a deeply personal idea into a consumer brand, you’ll want to hear this conversation. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧
