Inspiring Guests. Authentic Talk.
Latest Episode:
On today’s episode, Kara welcomes Julie Bornstein, Founder and CEO of Daydream — the AI-powered, chat-based fashion shopping agent that’s reimagining how we discover and shop for clothes online.
Daydream is reinventing the way people shop for fashion by replacing endless scrolling and outdated search bars with something radically better — personalized, conversational discovery. Backed by $50M in funding and featuring over 8,000 brands, Daydream lets users simply ask for what they want — by style, mood, occasion, or photo — and receive tailored results instantly. It’s fast, intuitive, and built for the way people actually shop today.
Julie, of course, knows this space well. A seasoned leader in commerce and tech, she’s held executive roles at Sephora, Nordstrom, and Stitch Fix — and founded THE YES, which was acquired by Pinterest in 2022. In this episode, she shares what sparked the idea for Daydream, why AI is the future of retail discovery, and what she’s learned from building (and scaling) multiple consumer companies.
A must-listen for anyone curious about the future of fashion, AI, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to build something truly transformative.

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!!!
