Early Entrepreneurial Experiences
The guest's early experiences with entrepreneurship stem from his father's development of gas stations after the family's return from Iran. Growing up in a family that prioritized hard work, he learned the importance of grinding and hustle from a young age, spending summers working as a gas station attendant alongside his twin brother. Throughout these years, he gained firsthand experience in the operational side of a business, although he amusingly confessed to occasionally pilfering items from the store. His formative years in the family business instilled in him entrepreneurial values that shaped his future endeavors.
