888 Kevin Gianni: Co-founder & CEO of Annmarie Skin Care & Salt + Blue — The Kara Goldin Show

What does it really take to build a brand that lasts—not just through growth, but through every stage that follows?
On The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Kevin Gianni, Co-Founder and CEO of Annmarie Skin Care—a clean beauty brand built on ingredient transparency, thoughtful growth, and a commitment to doing things differently.
We talk about how Kevin built Annmarie Skin Care long before "clean beauty" became a buzzword, why he believes in making fewer, better bets instead of chasing growth at all costs, and what inspired him to launch his second company, Salt + Blue, after more than 16 years of entrepreneurship.
We also dive into what consumers should really look for in skincare, how to build trust in a crowded category, why saying "no" is one of the most important skills a founder can develop, and the lessons Kevin has learned through every season of building a business.
If you're interested in building an enduring brand, leading through change, or learning what it really takes to grow a company without losing your values, you'll want to hear this conversation. You can find it here or anywhere you listen to podcasts. 🎧
