Overview
- Speaking on Forbes Talks in August 2026, Garner said she remains “really hungry” for new challenges and that she enjoys being a beginner again in business.
- Garner joined organic children’s-food company Once Upon a Farm in 2017 and is now listed by the company as a cofounder of a business Fortune has valued at about $732 million.
- She told interviewers she had no formal business classes, finds spreadsheets overwhelming, and now treats meetings as opportunities to learn from experts.
- Garner said her age changed how she shows up in leadership, removing the drive to prove herself or insist on being in charge and letting her focus on doing the work.
- Her remarks fit a wider pattern of public figures entering consumer brands later in life and signal a management approach that favors execution and long‑term trust over watching day‑to‑day stock moves.
