I first discovered Naz Riahi's work through her essays at Longreads, about growing up in Iran and moving to the United States. In 2020, with her consulting work on hold due to COVID-19, she decided to pursue her dream by writing and directing a short film. “Sincerely, Erik” is a beautiful love letter to New York City, about a bookseller seeking connection with his customers while his store was closed. The film was chosen as a Staff Pick at Vimeo and was a winner at its Best of the Year Awards. Riahi has followed up with another short film, “Andros in the City,” and she's currently fundraising to make her third film. (If you want to support her work, she asks that you share her films with your friends. You can also find her on Venmo: @nazriahi.)

We're thrilled to welcome Naz Riahi, founder of Bitten — an event series that brings together disruptors to talk all things fun, exciting and innovative in food — in advance of the New York conference October 27th.

In today's episode I'm talking to Naz Ree-ah-hi, CEO and founder of Bitten, a culinary conference that set out to change the conversation around food and open an inclusive community to a wider audience. After almost a decade working in advertising and marketing, she was attracted to the food space for its innovation and creativity but felt that the space was insular. Ever the disruptor, she decided to change that. The first Bitten conference, took place in New York back in 2015. A week before the event, tickets were totally sold out. The day of, she was fielding ticket requests from people willing to pay cash to get in. More than 300 strangers came for a full day of 20-minute TED-talk style presentations showcasing the future of food told by the people who are making it happen. In today's episode, Naz reveals for the first time that, despite toying with the idea of launching her own business for a while, she finally took the plunge after being fired from her corporate job. Unsurprisingly, the experience was scary but she was driven by the belief in her vision, knowing that sometimes you have to take risks to make things happen. Last year she took the conference to the West Coast for the first time and was one of a handful of people invited to attend the South by South Lawn festival (inspired by South By South West) at the White House. In our conversation she reflects back on all the doubts she had in the beginning, not knowing whether prominent leaders would sign on to speak and not knowing how many tickets they'd be able to sell. The next Bitten conference takes place on May 12 in NYC. thisisbitten.com

Naz Riahi is equal parts marketer and provocateur. After a decade in advertising and marketing for a variety of clients from fashion to entertainment, she set her sights on the food world and created Bitten, a conference that highlights the vibrant diversity of the culinary landscape. The conference is now held in NY, LA and Boston. Through highlighting a cross-section of visionary leaders in technology, design, products, Riahi hopes to reveal--and even shape-- the future. Listen to this episode to hear one woman's view of how she got here, and where we're going.
