About this episode

#19: After the worst wedding gift-buying experience online, Shan-Lyn Ma started a journey to revolutionize the industry and co-founded Zola. Now the CEO, she shares how she used modern technology, ambition, and sheer hard work to fundraise and launch what became the fastest-growing wedding company in the country. She also gives us tips and advice on saving money when planning your wedding, how to stick to your budget, and the main things you and your partner need to agree on before planning to tie the knot.
