On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Kerry Docherty, Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer of Faherty—the family-owned, American fashion and lifestyle brand redefining what it means to scale with purpose. Known for its surf-inspired aesthetic and unwavering commitment to sustainability, Faherty has grown into a profitable 9-figure business with over 75 stores nationwide and a passionate, loyal customer base.
In our conversation, Kerry shares how she and her co-founders set out to build a brand that challenged the norms of the fashion industry. With a background in law and human rights, she brings a unique lens to what it means to lead with intention—launching initiatives like Faherty’s Native Partnership Program, steering the company to B Corp certification, and ensuring impact and integrity are built into every decision.
We talk about how to create authentic partnerships, how to stay mission-forward as you scale, and what it really takes to build a brand customers trust—without compromising on values. If you’re interested in ethical business, sustainability, or how to lead with both heart and results, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.
