In this inspiring episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Shadi Bakour, the dynamic entrepreneur behind PATH Water, the eco-driven water brand that’s transforming the bottled water industry. Shadi shares his journey from startup grit to global impact—leveraging innovation, collaboration, and purpose to tackle the plastic pollution epidemic.
Key Takeaways:
From Idea to Iconic Brand
Inspired during a routine aisle walk, Shadi and his co-founders launched PATH in 2015 to challenge single-use plastic bottles. Today, PATH delivers hydrating water in sleek, reusable aluminum containers, designed to be hand-washed and endlessly recycled.
Environmental Impact Meets Business Scalability

The Power of Collaboration
Shadi emphasizes that collaboration—not competition—has fueled PATH’s growth. From licensing deals with Nickelodeon and Hasbro to partnerships with major retailers, he reveals how synergistic co-branding strategies have accelerated their mission and footprint.
Scaling with Integrity
PATH has earned recognition as one of the most sustainable brands globally—winning SEAL awards consistently since 2019. Shadi also made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, exemplifying his leadership in purpose-driven entrepreneurship.
Vision for the Future
With a bold goal to eliminate 10 billion plastic bottles in the next few years, Shadi walks listeners through PATH’s vision for creating a global movement through design, sustainability, and radical business innovation.
