Summary

In 2019, a chic and relatable new cookware company emerged, and soon the multitasking Always Pan dominated our Instagram feeds. Enter: Our Place. Co-founder and co-CEO Shiza Shahid built the brand with the mission of bringing people together through the power of home-cooking rooted in the modern multiethnic American kitchen. But before Shahid launched the beloved brand, her career path looked quite different. Out of school, she worked as a business analyst in Dubai before co-founding the Malala Fund and starting NOW Ventures to help support other mission-driven startups. On this episode, find out how Shahid’s former careers led her to create a mission-driven e-commerce brand that’s created not only celebrated products, but also a community.
