Welcome to Season Two! On this episode of Unboxing Ecommerce, James and Jennifer order from Outlier NYC ("Outlier") with special guest, Nima Elyassi-Rad. Nima is a technology executive and investor. He currently serves as VP of GTM at Shippo. Previously, he founded a soccer brand, spent time as a VC and put in time as a hip hop radio DJ.

Why Outlier?
Nima chose Outlier because they're the only 100% indie/self funded brand that's 100% DTC (never had B&M and never wholesaled), plus 100% focused on quality. They've been in business 16 years and counting.
