Summary

Shazi Visram went from making recipes in her kitchen to becoming the #1 organic baby brand in the country. She learned the ropes of business from her immigrant parents who started their own motel business upon moving to the U.S. originally from Tanzania and Pakistan. On this episode, Shazi discusses how she took her business from an idea to a reality, the struggles she encountered when creating her own company, understanding the importance of organic products and how she ultimately decided it was time to step down as CEO of the company she spent years building.
