Who is Darius Mirshahzadeh and how did he begin his entrepreneurial journey?
Hey, Hella.
Super hyped to be here. You're my good friend. Always happy to have my friends on the show. You are a serious serial entrepreneur. You have so much to say about the peaks and pitfalls of entrepreneurship. And I can't wait to get your core value insights and more information about your scale map methodology. So
What lessons did Darius learn from his father's entrepreneurial experiences?
From my research, I found out that you've had an entrepreneurial spirit from the very beginning. Your dad was an immigrant from Iran, literally the epitome of the American dream. He was an entrepreneur. He had many gas stations, real estate businesses. Did you always know you were going to follow in his footsteps and become an entrepreneur?
You know, like half of me wanted to do that. And the other half of me wanted to like become an actor and a comedian on Saturday Night Live. Like if you had asked me when I was 18, I was like, actually, I wanted to be Howard Stern. So like, which is not ironic that now I love podcasting. But yeah, no, I was like business and like enjoying experiences with people were like my two things. So yeah. Yeah, I know. I always felt like an affinity towards I love making money and I love selling. I was always like the kid that would win the candy selling competitions. I mean, crush those competitions. So for me, like starting a business or was not like this far out idea that was kind of a natural next step for sure.
Yeah. And I think that's a lot different from a lot of the immigrants that grew up in America. A lot of their parents, you know, had regular jobs or were doctors or engineers or and kind of were told to follow in that traditional path. And so your father, he taught you that you don't make the money selling the gas, you make the money selling the gas station.
