Hot Takes Big Stakes
Natalie Holloway and Lana Elie
18 episodes
6 days ago
The real-world highs and lows of building a business—from early ideas scribbled on napkins to multimillion-dollar raises and the pivotal moments in between. Hosted by serial founders Natalie Holloway (Bala) and Lana Elie (Floom). We explore the unfiltered truths most founders are too polished (or too cautious) to say out loud. No hype, no jargon—just honest conversations about what actually works, what doesn’t, and what it really takes to grow something from nothing. Each week, Natalie and Lana sit down founder-to-founder to share sharp insights, fresh perspectives, and the kind of candor you rarely hear in the boardroom. Build your dream. Burn the playbook.

How Our Place Did $5M in 1 Day w/ Co-Founder Zach Rosner | #1

Who are you investing in?

On Hot Takes, Big Stakes, host Natalie Holloway, founder of Bala, and co-host Lana Elie, founder of Floom, are here to help you turn your time into real value.

In today’s episode, Natalie and Lana sit down with Zach Rosner, co-founder of Our Place, a nine figure business with a team of over 100 and more than 90 million dollars raised to date. Before building Our Place, Zach led hiring at brands like MeUndies and Everlane.

Zach is an incredible guest because he’s an open book. In this conversation, he walks us through the highs and lows of co-founding Our Place. From years of struggle in development and fundraising to a breakout moment during COVID, when the company saw over 5 million dollars in sales in a single day, Zach shares it all.

Now, having stepped away from Our Place, Zach is embracing whatever comes next. His story is a powerful reminder that everything in business has an expiration date, and sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come after letting go.

Each episode of Hot Takes, Big Stakes brings you real conversations with founders like Zach. No jargon. No sugarcoating. Just the honest truth about what it takes to build something from the ground up.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Protect your passions. They are your center of gravity
  • Talk about your idea early and often
  • When launching a product, something should be happening every day
  • Everything has an expiration date
  • Push for more ownership
  • Don’t talk yourself out of it
