Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋 |
Some founders make success sound like a destination: selling your company, landing that coveted title, or, say, hitting a million followers on TikTok. But Golde founder and CEO Trinity Mouzon Wofford (a.k.a. the woman behind your favorite matcha 🍵) knows success is an ongoing practice—and it includes taking your damn lunch break. Scroll down for the full interview! |

Trinity Mouzon Wofford is an entrepreneur, author, and upstate New York native. At the age of 23, Trinity started Golde, the superfood brand known for its cafe-style matcha and turmeric blends. What started as a small family business (co-founded with her husband, Issey Kobori) rapidly became a beloved brand generating multimillion-dollar annual revenue. Trinity was named Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2020, went on to raise over $3 million in venture capital funding, and has led partnerships with the world's leading retailers, from Sephora to Target. Trinity’s latest venture is her cookbook, Eating at Home, out now with Ten Speed Press (Penguin Random House). |
🕯️ Who shaped how you think about your career—and why? |
“My in-laws, actually! My husband and I are high school sweethearts, so they’ve been in my life a long time. They started a candle company out of their garage in the ‘90s and scaled it up over time to be this wonderfully profitable thing that also allowed them to spend really special time together as a family and travel together. They were the ones who first clued me into the reality that we can make our own careers from our own values. That was my first real model for family business.” |
🌱 What’s something you got wrong about success early on? |
“I used to think that success was some kind of arrival—and that once I got there, I could brush the dirt off my hands and call it a day. As it turns out, every time you grow, there’s just another challenge in front of you. There is no arrival, you’re never done.” |
🍵 What’s the moment you thought to yourself, “I made it?” |
“Anytime a stranger stops me on the street to say how much they love Golde, it still feels unreal.” |
💗 What’s a skill you wish you’d built sooner? |
“Getting comfortable with not pleasing everyone. I definitely suffer from the bug of wanting to make everyone happy, even if that means not getting what I want. I’ve learned from experience that when you compromise on your own vision, no one wins. You have to stay true.” |
🥗 What’s an underrated productivity hack? |
“Take the lunch break. Really! Put the phone down, don’t multitask, just sit and eat for a few minutes. You can do it.” |
