Soom Foods is a certified women-owned, Philadelphia-based company dedicated to introducing globally inspired pantry staples to the American market. Their main product, Soom Tahini is a paste made from 100% pressed and roasted Ethiopian White Humera sesame seeds offering a creamy texture and nutty flavor. The business is family owned and operated by Amy and her two sisters. <br /><br />In this episode we speak with CEO and Co-Founder, Amy Zitelman about all things Tahini and what it was like to start a business while still becoming an adult in her mid-20's. Her story is not only inspiring, but is honest about what it really takes to get a brand off the ground. We talk about what the early days of starting a product-based business are like, what it takes to work with family and start a family at the same time. <br /><br />Follow Amy & Soom Foods:<br />Instagram: @soomfoods @amyzitelman<br />Website: soomfoods.com<br />Buy Product: soomfoods.com/shop/<br />Forbes 30 Under 30: <a href="https://www.forbes.com/pictures/5a025b9531358e542c04f012/amy-zitelman-28-l-jackie-/#335e96906e8e">https://www.forbes.com/pictures/5a025b9531358e542c04f012/amy-zitelman-28-l-jackie-/#335e96906e8e</a><br /><br />Attend Adulting 101: waitamianadultnow.com/events<br />Write in or Ask a Question: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br /><br />Follow Us:<br />Instagram: @WaitAmIAnAdultNow<br />Twitter: @WaitAmIAnAdult<br />Website: <a href="http://www.waitamianadultnow.com">www.waitamianadultnow.com</a><br />Shelby: @shelby_wildgust<br />Sivon: @SivonDemi
