Golde Founder Trinity Mouzon Wofford on Approachable Wellness, Mentorship, and Superfood Success
ABOUT THE EPISODE
If you're into wellness, open Instagram from time to time, or like to browse the shelves of Target for fun, then you’ve probably already been introduced to Golde—the modern superfood wellness brand that’s slowly taking over the shelves of your favorite stores. With vibrant packaging, affordable price points, and good, clean ingredients, it’s no wonder Golde has amassed a huge following.
But when founder Trinity Mouzon Wofford embarked on an entrepreneurial journey into wellness, her biggest goal wasn’t to JUST create a product that was good for you. She rooted Golde’s mission in the idea that the wellness industry could be approachable, way more inclusive, and fun. This fresh approach to the industry was a stroke of genius, because within a few years of launch, Trinity and her partner had grown their bootstrapped small biz into a profitable brand that attracted partnerships with Urban Outfitters, Goop, and Target.
On this episode of WorkParty, Trinity shares how she built a trusted brand at such a young age, her commitment to changing the wellness industry, and the incredible journey her very first product has taken her on.
