Podcast appearances and mentions of ali afshar

Sung and Emelia sit down with actor turned race driver turned movie producer, Ali Afshar. Ali shares how struggles in his younger years as an immigrant family laid the foundation for his drive, focus, and ultimately his incredible success. They also talk about representation and diversity in films, finding passion, and Subarus.This episode was recorded in February 2023.Follow on Instagram and YouTube @CarStoriesPodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ali Afshar has one of the most unique origin stories in Hollywood. His family moved to Petaluma, California after the Iranian Revolution of 1979, and he sought peace against a backdrop of tragedy by wrestling and street racing. A stuntman older brother helped him make his way into acting, and he soon became a producer as well. His latest project is the bilingual upstairs-downstairs family drama Casa Grande, now airing on Amazon's Freevee.But that barely scratches the surface of a story that includes racing success, shooting Christmas movies in a converted barn, and his goal of eventually telling the story of the German heavy metal band The Scorpions. His production company is ESX Entertainment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ali Afshar is the founder of ESX Entertainment.  He races hot rods, he has been an actor, and he has built a sound stage in a barn in his home town, Petaluma, near Napa Valley where his company shot "California Christmas," in production during the Covid quarantines. Ali has built a company with a select and close group of friends who have all become busy producers, composers, directors and DPs. He has cast friends too- one woman he met as a waitress and now she stars in their newest Netflix romantic comedy. Many of his crew and team have met their romantic partners too- marriages have taken place on their studio lot up North.  "All our movies are American Dream Movies," says Ali. One of his financiers, the CEO of Lucas Oil, coined the phrase "Shed a tear, but leave with a smile." That's ESX's mantra and MO, but Ali says their movies are more PG than G, with more edge. Ali's company offices are on the Warner Bros. lot and he's produced movies that have been licensed by Netflix and HBO Max, and he's also in development of a TV series that he says is like Yellowstone with a Latin bent, "Casa Grande."  Ali is originally from Iran, and his mother passed when he was young. So his main advice to this podcast, Passion to Power listeners, is "don't wait," do what you love and don't do it for money...the money will come. Sounds like the mantra for Passion to Power.  Still racing and collecting "muscle cars," and making movies and doing the occasional acting role keeps Ali very busy. He is grateful and his team seems to work like a well-oiled machine- he ought to know.  For more on Ali Afshar and ESX Entertainment, visit their website: http://www.esxproductions.com Michelle Zeitlin is a talent & literary manager, show creator and catalyst to creative conversation.  If you are interested in being on the podcast, please send a request to our team to MoreZap@gmail.com If you are interested in learning more about our people and projects, or booking Michelle for a workshop or coaching session, or media session, please reach out via www.morezap.com or www.passion-power.com

Dr. Ali Afshar is a cedar sinai trained urologist who talks about kidney and bladder cancer and the various concerns of many of his patients. On the Target : Cancer podcast, we talk about how technology is effectuating change in oncology. If you are a cancer patient and want to explore your treatment options, go to http://xcures.com/options

The slang Dr. Ali Afshar uses to describe his dental repertoire is “tacklebox”, and his tacklebox includes implant surgery, restoration, and treatment planning. He uses both free-hand and guided surgeries, which is a skill he thinks many lose in dental schools that promote only guided surgeries. If you only learn guided surgery, you may be missing out on the technical knowledge needed to help your patients plan out their treatment and healing processes. Dental students are graduating school and immediately want to become implant dentists without fully understanding the precision that goes into this practice and the healing that is necessary after implant surgery, and Dr. Afshar sees a lot of rehabs and complicated cases of implants that need to be repaired or completely taken out and redone. For him, the biggest weakness in our industry is diagnostics and treatment planning.  This is where his tacklebox comes in handy. Knowing how to perform surgery is one thing but understanding the human body and its ability to heal can help you better understand your role as a dentist in this healing process. Every patient is different, and sometimes they aren't all going to fit neatly into your guided procedure or surgery.  That's why Dr. Afshar created Peer Education In Dentistry. It is a program that provides professional mentorship to fellow dentists in Canada looking for hands-on training to build their own tackle boxes of skills. Dr. Afshar runs a referral-only dental practice in Alberta, Canada, which has different marketing laws than in the US. This makes referrals the best-case scenario when it comes to promoting his practice. He relies on implant surgery and focuses on chair-side efficiency to attract new patients through word-of-mouth referrals.

Brad Fanshaw and Matt D'Andria are in-studio with Aaron Hagar calling in for this week's episode of Shift and Steer. Today the fellas welcome actor and racer Ali Afshar to the program. And thanks to our sponsor Geico.com

“We as dentists were trained to do single tooth, here’s a whole fill it, here’s the procedure, bill it. And it’s really a disservice if you’re not seeing the whole patient and the whole mouth but really the entire body and how they all interconnect together,” – Dr. Ali Afshar. Let’s paint a picture…A patient referral enters your practice with a failed implant or the beginnings of peri-implant disease. What do you do? Send them back to their original dentist? Start from scratch? How do you remedy the situation while finding ways for the patient to actively participate in their treatment? This podcast has the answer.   Doctors Justin Moody, Frank Caputo, and Adam Kimowitz share some insightful and hilarious discussions about a groundbreaking procedure that Dr. Ali Afshar, has perfected in his practice. The best part? You can integrate his methods into your practice too. Listen in! The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual participants and not necessarily that of the AAID.

Welcome back to the Business of Film podcast, episode #86. The two founders of the company are Forrest Lucas (owner of Lucas Oil, the naming rights to the Indianapolis Colts football stadium, the auto-sports cable network MAVTV and Lucas Oil Speedway) and Ali Afshar (current race car driver, producer and actor). They brought on Scott ... The post BoF #86 – Forrest Films with Ali Afshar and Scott Kennedy appeared first on Craft Truck.

Alex Dodd is also known as Ali Afshar and is an actor and producer, known for Three Kings (1999), Godzilla (1998) and The Siege (1998) and is also the founder/president of the world record holding auto racing team Easy Street Motorsports (ESX). He is the creator of the exclusive ESX Super Vantage Aston Martin and ESX STI Subaru vehicles. Alex and his company ESX raced for Subaru of America for 7 years from 2001 through 2007 and won two NHRA National Championships in 2006 & 2007. Favorite Success Quote “You can sleep when you are dead” Key Points 1. Always be Hustling You can sleep when you are dead, or as Newton put it “A body in motion tends to stay in motion.” Once you gain momentum, it is imperative that you keep hustling and keep grinding to ensure continued success. While there is plenty of debate about the effects of sleep and success, if you want to be successful, you will lose sleep to achieve your goals. If you want to achieve great things, you have to be willing to lose sleep, put in the effort, and work ungodly hours for a certain amount of time. But it will be worth it. 2. Do What You Love As cliche as it may sound, a life spent doing anything other than things you love, is a life of drudgery and pain. Why would you willingly subject yourself to daily work that you find dull and uninspiring just for an added 0 on your paycheck? Do what you love and the money will follow (given that what you love is more than playing xbox). If you live your life doing things that light you up with a passion, you will never work a day in your life, and money and impact will be a natural byproduct. Don't waste your life with things you don't love. Follow the advice of your middle school teacher and do what you love. 3. Use Your Passions Instead of Drugs and Alcohol "Stuff" happens. Welcome to the real world. When it does, many men are tempted to fall into drugs and alcohol to escape their problems instead of facing them head on. Instead of falling for this trap, dive headfirst into your passions and create a life centered around the things you love to help yourself heal and get through the hard times. Bad things will happen, it's up to you whether you allow them to destroy you and ruin your life with addiction, or whether you use it as a catalyst to create your best self. 4. Change the World with Kindness The world is full of bad people. It's full of wannabes and windbags trying to seem important and putting others down in the process. Don't be like them. Life is short, love others, be kind and leave nothing on  the table because you never know when it is your time. You will never regret a life of passion, love, and kindness. Period
