From Immigrant to Inspiration: Shahin's Unyielding Journey to Success and Empowerment
Shahin's journey from a scrappy kid in Iran to building a billion-dollar supplement company in the US is a testament to his determination and resilience. Growing up in Iran, he experienced a culture that was both loving and generous, but also taught him the value of being scrappy and self-reliant. When his family migrated to the United States, Shahin faced challenges as an Iranian immigrant in an affluent community. He had a chip on his shoulder and endured daily struggles, including being bullied at school.
Despite his circumstances, Shahin had a burning desire for a better life. He looked around at the wealth and abundance surrounding him and wanted to achieve that for himself. His parents advised him to become a doctor, believing that it would lead to success and financial stability. However, Shahin saw the long and arduous path of becoming a doctor, filled with debt and a lack of freedom, and he knew it wasn't the path for him.
