Beyond Bold
The rules for success are changing - and fast. Beyond Bold isn’t another “how I built my startup” podcast. It helps ambitious people navigate what it really means to thrive in a world shaped by culture shifts, new technologies, and evolving ideas of ambition.
Hosted by award-winning entrepreneur Kyla Bolden, the show zooms out to explore the patterns, ideas, and cultural changes that shape modern ambition. From AI breakthroughs and future-of-work trends to the rituals, habits, and quirks that fuel happiness and achievement, Beyond Bold connects the dots between identity, culture, and success.
Through sharp solo episodes and smart conversations with thought leaders, Kyla delivers thoughtful—and sometimes playful—commentary that goes deeper than recycled business advice. This is success reimagined: not as hustle, but as a life well lived.

From Kickstarter to Shark Tank: How to Launch a Product Business That Lasts
What does it really take to turn an idea into a physical product—and scale it into a nationally recognized brand?
In this episode, I sit down with Erica Cole, founder of No Limbits, an adaptive fashion company that started as a personal solution and evolved into a growing brand featured on Shark Tank. Erica shares the full journey—from sewing her own clothes after an accident, to validating the idea through Kickstarter, to securing a deal on national TV, and ultimately acquiring another company as a solo founder.
We talk about:
- How to test a product idea before spending thousands
- What makes a successful Kickstarter campaign (and what people get wrong)
- The surprising truth about being a solo founder
- What really happens after Shark Tank
- How she pulled off a company acquisition early in the journey
Whether you’re thinking of launching a physical product, starting a fashion brand, or just want the real story behind startup life—this one’s packed with insights you won’t hear anywhere else.
