Jeff Shardell: 在一次风暴追逐的旅程中,我体会到生活可以简化到最基本的需求,这促使我开始关注生活中其他有毒物质。当时,人们主要关注食品领域的健康产品,而个人护理领域尚未受到重视。我尝试了一些市面上的天然除臭剂,但效果不佳,所以我决定自己动手制作。最初,我只是想做一个小项目,为自己和亲友制作产品,但后来需求增加,我决定将其发展成一项真正的生意,这就是Humble品牌的诞生。我之所以选择“Humble”这个名字,是因为它代表了我们产品的简单和谦逊,代表着产品成分的简单易懂,且有效。

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we’re joined by Jeff Shardell, Founder and CEO of Humble Brands—the clean personal care brand that’s redefining what “natural” can (and should) be. From deodorants that actually work to sustainability initiatives that go far beyond the label, Jeff has built Humble into a trusted name at Whole Foods, Erewhon, and thousands of other retailers across the country.Before founding Humble, Jeff was a Silicon Valley veteran—part of the early team at Google and co-founder of Gloss.com), which sold to Estée Lauder. But it was a radically different chapter of life that sparked the idea for Humble: a decade spent storm chasing and reconnecting with the basics. That journey led him to start making clean, effective deodorant out of his kitchen—and the rest is history.We talk about why Jeff left tech to start over, what it really takes to build a brand from scratch in the crowded wellness space, and how a simple formula with four ingredients launched a national movement. He shares how Humble has grown thoughtfully—without compromising quality, values, or his own vision of what health should look like.If you care about clean living, purpose-driven business, or the wild twists that can lead to a breakout brand—this one’s for you. Now live on The Kara Goldin Show.
