Changing Socks, Changing Lives with Bombas Co-Founders David Heath (CEO) and Randy Goldberg (Chief Branding Officer) (S5E10)

Bombas Co-Founders David Heath (CEO) and Randy Goldberg (Chief Branding Officer) discuss how a Facebook post that mentioned socks are the number one most requested item in homeless shelters led to the creation of the brand that supports those communities by way of a one-for-one premium sock donation model. David and Randy also discuss how Toms and Warby Parker served as inspiration, the importance of having a pristine product for a mission-driven organization, their successful Shark Tank experience, and the positive impacts of keeping company culture centerfold. The two further highlight “The Black Hive,” a community of diverse Bombas employees, and what they’ve done to support individuals and organizations during the Black Lives Matter movement resurgence. Tune in to hear how David and Randy’s lack of expertise in the retail industry actually served as an advantage, and learn more about Bombas at Bombas.com.
