On today’s episode, Kara welcomes Sandra Oh Lin, Founder and CEO of KiwiCo — the global brand inspiring creativity, confidence, and curiosity in kids through hands-on play. What started in Sandra’s garage with a simple idea to spark learning has grown into a billion-dollar company that’s shipped over 50 million crates worldwide, earned the trust of millions of families, and brought KiwiCo’s brain-building projects to major retailers like Target and Barnes & Noble.
Sandra shares how her background at eBay, PayPal, and Procter & Gamble helped her build a mission-driven company that empowers kids to see themselves as makers and innovators. We talk about what it takes to scale a purpose-led brand without losing your core values, how to nurture creativity at every age, and the lessons she’s learned from leading a fast-growing company with heart. From the early garage days to KiwiCo’s global impact, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration for founders, parents, and innovators alike. Don’t miss it!
