Debbie Go

Ever wondered what separates those who dream from those who do? Welcome to Skin in the Game, the podcast that reveals what it takes to build something extraordinary. 

I’m Debbie Go. With years of experience leading teams and driving growth in industries like consumer health, pharmaceuticals, and beauty skincare, I've learned the biggest risk isn't failure – it's never stepping up to the plate.

Skin in the Game isn't your typical business podcast. It’s about the human side of success – the untold stories behind the wins, the failures, and everything in between. Each episode, I sit down with entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders who’ve risk it all to create something meaningful. They share their tough decisions, hard-earned wisdom and the mindset shifts that turn obstacles into opportunities. 

Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur, looking to reignite your career, or curious about success, you’ll find inspiration and strategies to level up your game.

Adam Guggenheim

I started my career at Neutrogena through summer internship when it was still a small, independent company and grew alongside the brand as it became a global leader for Johnson & Johnson. After graduating, I joined J&J full time in marketing later rising to lead global strategy, innovation & communication for Neutrogena. From there, I moved to Nestlé, leading global brand strategy for Proactiv, & eventually ventured into building a skincare brand from the ground up—focusing on my passion for the intersection of health & wellness.


Throughout my career, I saw a major gap in the suncare-led skincare space—too much confusion & controversy around technology. While chemical sunscreens are here to stay, I believed there was an opportunity to skip the guesswork & create something universally embraced: a pure, mineral-based solution. My goal was simple: transform the essentials of skin health into something people crave.
