Saeed and Katy Al-Rubeyi of Story mfg.

My guests this week are Saeed and Katy Al-Rubeyi, co-founders of Story MFG.

We discuss how Story MFG emerged out of their relationship, the power and burden of being a small brand, dealing with critics, making things not look “perfect,” and how I believe they’re changing an entire industry with their aesthetic and ethics.
