Heritage and Identity: A Personal Journey

This week’s episode of the Mixtape with Scott is a rerun of an earlier interview I did with Muhammad Akbarpour, an economic theorist at Stanford University. Muhammad tells his life story of growing up in Tehan, Iran and his long and windy road into economics and Stanford University, where he both went to grad school and is now an assistant professor. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to it or watch it, I highly recommend it again. Mohammad is one of my favorite young economists, particularly theorists, working today and I find talking to him to be really inspiring. This was one of my favorite, top 5 even, interviews I’ve had on the show so far too.

Thank you again for your support.
