Episode notes

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Randy Goldberg, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Bombas—the mission-driven comfort brand best known for its ultra-comfortable socks, underwear, and t-shirts, and for donating one item for every item purchased. Since launching in 2013, Bombas has donated over 150 million items to those in need through partnerships with more than 3,500 community organizations.
In our conversation, Randy shares the early days of building Bombas—from discovering that socks were the most requested item in homeless shelters to creating a business that scaled profit and purpose. We talk about how he and Co-Founder Dave Heath designed a better sock, got a deal on Shark Tank, built a standout brand in a crowded space, and stayed true to their mission through every stage of growth. He also opens up about creative leadership, the power of empathy in business, and the infrastructure it takes to scale giving at a national level.
If you’re interested in building a brand with heart, rethinking how business can serve communities, or hearing what it looks like to grow with integrity—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.
