Working Dads

What's it like to work for a startup with the women leaders of Penji (Jie, Sekinah, Naciye, and Ginny)

Episode Summary

At Penji, we are a diverse startup. From the way we think, to the way we hire. Penji is located in the city of Camden, NJ. By doing a quick Google search, you'll see that the city of Camden isn't notable for being the best city in the world, however we thinking otherwise. We decided to headquarter in this city while everyone else in the business world turned a side eye to. A mission that we have at Penji is to help students and residents of the city of Camden obtain jobs. Every single person within our company is either from the city of Camden or has gone to school here. We believe that by supporting our local community, it will give our team members the foundation to go out and one day make their own change. Episode 199 is very special to me and I figured what better way to celebrate episode 199 than to interview the women of Penji. As much as we are diverse through our backgrounds, we are diverse in culture and gender. There are more women than men at Penji and it's a part of our company that we actively celebrate. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. We asked real questions about what it's like to work for a startup and so many more topics. There is no greater episode to hear what it's like to run and work for a startup than this one.

Episode Notes

This podcast is brought to you by Penji. I’m your host Johnathan Grzybowski and today we have Brian Robinson on the show.

The reason why I wanted to interview the women of Penji is because:
Penji is predominantly women and what better way to get an insight about the company and the current landscape of the startup world than to get inside the minds of the people who are primarily the leaders of the organization!

Some of the highlights of this episode are:

• Overall laughter: I hope you're able to see how much fun we have at Penji.
• We are family: The banter back and forth is incredible and it shows how much we care and respect one another.
• What it's like to work for a startup
• the future of entrepreneurship
