In this episode, Liz speaks with Shazi Visram, entrepreneur, children’s health advocate, and investor best known for founding Happy Baby Organics, a company that was ahead of its time. Instead of retiring after selling Happy Baby as initially intended, her mission to optimize early childhood health was reignited by her son Zane’s autism diagnosis. Now, with her new company, Healthybaby, she’s investing in a new standard for clean baby products. In this conversation, Shazi discusses her unusual path to entrepreneurship, gets real about the impact raising a child with severe autism can have on parents, and offers research-based advice on how parents can create the safest, healthiest environments for their babies.
