A Meet Cute With Naomi Shah

Hello 2023!! I could not think of a better guest to kick off this new year than Naomi Shah. Naomi is the founder and CEO of Meet Cute, a modern entertainment company that produces original, scripted rom-coms that are feel-good in content and delivered in bite-sized podcast format. Meet Cute prioritizes diverse storytelling and characters by sharing stories across the full spectrum of love. Founded in 2019 when Shah was just 24 years old, already Meet Cute has produced more than 450 rom-com stories with over 3.5 million listeners. In just over two years, they have built one of the largest and most diverse networks of producers, actors and writers globally. She talks to me about the “secret sauce” she believes has made Meet Cute such a success, why she finds the audio medium so exciting, her experience being on “two sides of the table” at her former investment firm, and what keeps her up at night. We talk about some new projects in the pipeline for 2023, how we both feel like “Jess” from Bend It Like Beckham, which rom-com she would star in, and her dream collaboration for 2023 (Hi, Mindy:)).
