Zola: Shan-Lyn Ma
Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
Turns out in the Zulu language, Zola is the word that roughly translates to love. And let me tell you, I'm so glad we picked that name because the runner up names were terrible. Oh, what was it? What were they? We were nearly called Dandelion. Not horrible. Avec moi
That's horrible. Thank God you didn't use that one. Well then Nobu, who has a very innocent mind wanted to call the company Wish and Blow in reference to a wedding cake. Which could be taken in all kinds of ways. And so good idea. That you moved on.
Yeah. Welcome to How I Built This, a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
