All right, welcome back to the Casey Adams show. Today I am joined by Kara Golden, the founder of Hint. Thank you so much coming to the show, Kara.

Thanks for having me. Absolutely. So I am so fascinated with your story. And, you know, of course, we have the Hintwater with us here today. And I've been a fan of the

product for a very long time. But this journey for you started back in 2004, 2005. Where did this drive

for like entrepreneurship and starting Hint in the first place begin? And where did that, you know,

that seed get planted in the early

days of your career well it's funny i mean i never called myself an entrepreneur an

want to be entrepreneur or entrepreneur in the making but i happened to have worked for a few

different entrepreneurs when i was first starting out. And the first one, actually,

my second job out of college was at CNN. You and I were just talking about I never got a chance

to interview Larry King, but I definitely was able to go to the show and see him in, you know,

in his glory for sure. But I, you know, watching Ted Turner and I always tell

people that the, you know, when a founder is still a part of an organization, you just feel

it. It's the soul of the company. And it's, we used to joke that,

like, you knew Ted was in the building, even if you, he generally was in Atlanta, but he came to

New York a lot where I was working. And, and, you know, it's funny because it's, it's really true.

You knew that, you know, he was getting out of the elevator.

Like, you could hear him.

You could, you know, know, know that like there were jokes being made.

There was just this jovial sense and that was going on.

That was really, really incredible.

So, so anyway, that was my first. And then I moved out to San Francisco,

where I ended up, again, stumbling on to a startup that was doing early internet, what is now
