Inspiring Guests. Authentic Talk.

Latest Episode:

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Aaron Luo, Co-Founder and CEO of Caraa, the modern luxury bag brand built for real life. With a background running billion-dollar businesses, Aaron left the corporate world to chase a bold vision—one where design, durability, and functionality collide to create bags that keep up with today’s dynamic, on-the-go lifestyle.
During our conversation, Aaron shares the founding story of Caraa, how he and co-founder Carmen Chen Wu built a brand with lasting power, and what it takes to create products that are as versatile and resilient as the women who carry them. We talk about the power of thoughtful design, the difference between hype and real brand equity, and how he navigates everything from scaling operations to staying creatively inspired.
Whether you're building a fashion brand, obsessed with product development, or just love a good founder story—this episode is packed with wisdom, passion, and practical insights. Now on The Kara Goldin Show.

This podcast is amazing! Insightful, uplifting, inspiring, thought provoking…I can’t get enough! As a recent college graduate trying to chart my own path…I find golden nuggets of wisdom in every podcast. I’ve been following Kara for years and love getting to know her in this facet. Such a valuable listen!

Kara has a great balance of getting to the details and finding the deeper threads of the concepts while keeping things fluid and fun. A must listen for anyone looking to learn.

I am so inspired by Kara and not a bit surprised by the line up of “movers and shakers” she has chosen to interview. When I saw Dr. Robert Lustig on the list I was absolutely delighted! Keep up the fight against sugar, Kara, and keep inspiring others on a daily basis! Thank you for what you do.

I love Kara’s questions and her naturally flowing conversations with her guests. I’ve learned so much about developing your own business with little to no experience from the episodes with Alli Webb, Randi Zuckerberg and Ellen Bennett. Kara can relate too based off of her interview in Rebecca Jarvis’ no limits podcast which makes it even more relatable for me. Great job!!!
