On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Christoph Frehsee, President and Managing Director of tonies USA—the company behind the wildly popular screen-free audio system for kids, the Toniebox. With more than 7 million Tonieboxes and 100 million Tonies sold globally, tonies is transforming how young children play, learn, and engage—without a screen in sight.
Christoph joined the company with a background in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and global impact, and is now helping tonies scale rapidly in the U.S. market. In our conversation, we talk about the power of audio storytelling in a tech-saturated world, what it means to build a kid-first brand, and how tonies is building emotional connection with families at every level. Christoph also shares his early impression of the Toniebox, why he believes screen-free innovation is the future, and what’s next for the company as it continues to grow its presence in retail, licensing, and original content.
If you’re interested in building a product that kids and parents love—or hearing from a leader who’s helping reshape the future of children’s media—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.
