Podcasts about Pejman

What happens when you bring Pejman Ghadimi, the man who turned hacking exotic cars into a six-figure side hustle for thousands, onto The Higher Standard? You get a masterclass in how society has sold us a broken narrative about wealth, success, and “playing it safe.” With Saied riding shotgun at the production desk, Chris pulls back the curtain on Pejman's wildly polarizing—but undeniably effective—philosophy that challenges everything you thought you knew about finance, personal growth, and chasing your dreams without going broke. From flipping Ferraris for profit to dismantling the myth of the American Dream, nothing was off-limits in this unfiltered conversation.➡️ Pejman takes us on a journey through his evolution—from broke immigrant to corporate banker, and ultimately to building his own empire teaching everyday people how to turn luxury assets like watches and cars into investment vehicles. Along the way, the guys dive deep into why most people are addicted to being told what to do, why external validation is a prison, and why true freedom comes from taking uncomfortable, messy action. This is the episode that will either make you curious enough to level up—or angry enough to stay exactly where you are. Either way, you've been warned.

What if the diagnosis was just the beginning—and the root cause was hiding in plain sight? In this riveting episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes pediatrician and integrative medicine expert Dr. Pejman Katiraei, whose work with children struggling with autism, mold exposure, and mast cell activation reveals a shocking truth: many kids aren't just neurodivergent—they have neuroinflammation. Together, they peel back the layers on what's really driving autistic behaviors, why some children can't tolerate food, noise, or even hugs—and how mast cells and histamine might be behind it all. Dr. Katiraei shares remarkable stories of transformation, explains why traditional testing often fails, and reveals a controversial treatment that's changing lives. If your child is sensitive, reactive, or struggling to connect—and you've been told it's just "behavioral"—this conversation might rewrite what you thought was possible. Takeaways: One child's refusal to eat broccoli held more answers than anyone expected. Could colic be the first warning sign of central inflammation? He couldn't feel love—until one unlikely medication changed everything. A house tested clean… but the child kept getting worse. Why? Some diagnoses miss what's burning beneath the surface.

Ok so, I knew Dr. K was awesome, but I didn't know he was THIS AWESOME.....This is an interview with pediatrician Dr. Pejman Katiraei, DO from Santa Barbara, California. In this interview, Dr. K talks about how common it is to see mold involved in mental health issues for all ages, but especially in kids. We discuss how he evolved to where he is now regarding diagnosis and treatment and how mold and mycotoxins initially came onto his radar for these kiddos suffering from mental health issues - ADHD, OCD, anxiety, hyperactivity, etc - which I think is always interesting to hear how someone in the conventional medical field learned through experience and research how critical these mold (and other) airborne toxins can be to kids health. This interview is seriously FILLED WITH GEMS. Most of this entire conversation we are talking about the connections between mold and mental health - mycotoxins are known to disrupt dopamine, they inhibit glutamate clearance, they are neurotoxic, they activate innate immunity and neuroinflammation, they drive histamine responses, and ALL OF THIS leads to neurotransmitter, mood, and behavioral changes....so the whole time we are talking basically about the problem(s) and the solution(s), which are both varied and complex, but our conversation includes topics like:- Diagnosis or "suspicion" of mold in kids - in what kinds of cases are we (maybe) thinking mold? - How do you KNOW if you have mold in the home?- How do you KNOW if you (or your child) have mold in the body?- What are (both of our) favorite tests and treatments or supportive supplements?- How can we clean the air? HEPA filters, air purifiers, ionizers...I think my favorite part about Dr. K is that his integrity shines through in our conversation, he clearly wants what is best for the patient's outcome, he considers realistic options and cost, and he is open minded and not trying just to defend his biases. I'd like to think we are really similar in those regards, I hope so, but I just know I had a GREAT time talking with him and have a lot of respect for him, and I think a lot of people will enjoy this episode!Check out his website https://wholistickids.com/Follow him on Facebook under Wholistic Kids and on Instagram @wholistickids where he puts out GREAT CONTENT!!!!!And - send this to 3 friends with kids, and leave a rating and review if you enjoyed it!

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Startup stories are often stuff of dreams — and today's podcast is a story about one of tech's most unlikely venture capitalists.Journalist and professional soccer player turned immigrant turned self-proclaimed "best carwasher in San Jose" turned Persian rug salesman turned top Silicon Valley seed investor Pejman Nozad, the Co-Founder & Founding Managing Partner of Pear VC comes on the show to chronicle his journey that has crossed continents to back many of tech's top companies. While his story has taken him many places, one thing has stayed constant — his ability to build relationships and connect with people. And that talent has enabled him to succeed in building a top seed fund in Pear with his partner and serial entrepreneur Mar Hershenson, where they have backed the likes of DoorDash, Gusto, Guardant Health, Aurora, and many more.Pejman shares everything from how to build relationships to how to build a seed fund.We discussed so many fascinating topics: What he looks for in founders. Why family is so important. How and why building relationships is so critical in early-stage investing. How Pear has built out a multitude of products and services for founders across pre-seed and seed. How companies can go from zero to product-market fit. Why some of the largest institutional LPs are interested in a dedicated pre-seed and seed strategy.  I also learned that he makes some really good Persian tea, which is apparently even better than Sadaf. It was a pleasure to have you on the show, Pejman, to share a story for the ages and one that is still being written.

Addressing the root cause of our children's physical and mental health challenges, rather than just treating the symptoms, can allow the human body to function as it should and positively impact energy, mood, and overall feelings of wellness.   Joining me to discuss the benefits of taking a holistic and integrative approach to pediatric medicine is Dr. Pejman Katiraei, a board-certified pediatrician and the co-founder of WholisticMinds.   We'll explore how physiological and environmental factors like mold, Lyme, and other toxins can impact children's bodies leading to behavioral issues, and what this understanding means for the diagnosis and treatment in children of things like autism, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and more.     I want to hear from you!

In order to drive action from research, you need to create alignment with key decision-makers and the research you do.  Pejman Mirza-Babaei joins the Awkward Silences podcast to discuss how to transform research insights into actionable design decisions by collaborating with stakeholders. With over fifteen years of experience doing UXR and interaction design on various applications, Pejman shares insights on the importance of effective communication and collaboration; the need for actionable and cost-effective research; and the challenges and biases that can arise in decision-driven research.

I couldn't help but spend the first few minutes of my conversation with Pejman Nozad fishing for the story of how a rug salesman built one of Silicon Valley's top institutional pre-seed and seed funds. Nozad has such a fascinating and inspirational story; it reflects what is possible when Silicon Valley is at its best. Nozad told me how Sequoia's Doug Leone gave him a shot. “We connected [as] both really good salespeople,” Nozad recalled. “I said Doug, ‘I can help you invest in some amazing founders.'”Leone said he would come to meet with Nozad. “I made my life mission that I'm ready,” Nozad remembers. They hit it off and the deal flow, well, it flowed.Nozad would later introduce Sequoia to Dropbox. Pear VC, which Nozad co-founded with Mar Hershenson, first raised $50 million in 2013. Nozad and I spent much of our conversation talking about the practicalities of a $432 million seed fund.For a firm that invests in pre-seed and seed round startups, the latest fund size is enormous, especially as we've been in a downturn outside of AI.With that fund size, Pear VC will need to find many more winners than in earlier funds to generate high multiples for its limited partners.“I wake up every morning and I think we're going to go out of business by the end of the day,” Nozad said. “So that's the mentality. It doesn't matter if you have $400 million or $4 million or $4 billion. I want to stay on my toes. DoorDash performance, or Guardant Health, that doesn't mean anything about Fund IV.”Find the Podcast Get full access to Newcomer at www.newcomer.co/subscribe

In today's world of social media and instant gratification, people are looking for shortcuts to wealth and want that influence and the ability to buy fancy cars. They see people on social media with flashy cars and expensive watches, but oftentimes, they are not thinking of what it took to get there. Maybe that person is just faking the influence and wealth as we have discussed in other episodes, or maybe they truly have built the wealth to get there, but it is probably a longer, more challenging path than people realize. Pejman Ghadimi is back on the 365 Driven podcast to demystify what it takes to get on the path to wealth, how that can be done by unconventional means, and since Tony and Pejman are both car guys, they also dive into a little about exotic cars. Pejman Ghadimi is a self-made entrepreneur, philosopher, author, and the creator of the wealth transfer methodology. Over the last 20 years, Pejman has built several businesses ranging from a one-of-a-kind investment firm that focuses on alternative asset management known as 1 OFF Investments, to a series of online education businesses including Secret Entourage, Exotic Car Hacks, and Watch Trading Academy. These platforms have forced people to rethink their understanding of business, luxury assets, and money management. Pejman's companies have grossed well over $420,000,000.00 in combined revenue. Pejman is an example of how resourcefulness and self-education are the two most powerful keys to success. He was also featured on Netflix's Fastest Car Season 2. In this episode, Pejman explains that having a path to wealth comes from having a path as a human and acquiring skills along the way no matter what types of jobs you start out in. Very successful people rarely share about their first job and the 10-20 years of struggling and lessons that it took to get them to where they are because oftentimes people don't want to hear about that. It's a very important piece of the journey that people need to realize and research for themselves. Listening and talking to people that have what you want can help shortcut the learning, but not the result, so starting to build that wealth now is going to be key.  Key highlights: For someone that thinks that they do not have a path to wealth, how do they start?  People don't understand the path to success and they think it's not possible due to having a fixed mindset around it Acquiring skills and knowledge to get to that next level What do you need to know to buy an exotic car? What do you need to assess? As a society, we focus on the wrong things: fear and negativity Greatness will always be in demand because it is in short supply If you find someone that will share how they got there, pay attention to what they say Real success is having a choice and living life through your own value system For resources and links mentioned in this episode, visit: 365driven.com/episode289

Assets are similarly as significant in individual finances as company's finances... As a matter of fact, understanding what resources are and the difference among liabilities and assets can make you rich. Today's guest has had over 60,000 students and his companies have earned over $420,000,000 in combined revenue. An entrepreneur, author, philosopher, and the wealth transfer methodology creator Pejman Ghadimi was a part of my Podcast to incorporate the value of finding your own success by utilizing the luxury car hacks and understanding the business aspects with cars. Throughout recent years, Pejman has fabricated a huge number of organizations going from a stand-out investment company to a progression of online training organizations which include Watch Trading Academy, Secret Entourage, and Exotic Car Hacks. Discussing about his recently launched ‘Third Circle Theory,' he said, this book is about reshaping man's ability to beat his conditions. Talking about the importance of exotic cars, Ghadimi focused on the knowledge and understanding of liabilities and assets to better deal in business.  Vehicles are infamous for promptly losing quite a bit of their worth as they roll off the dealer's parcel. By settling on a savvy buying choices and finding a model that meets your requirements, you can buy a car that holds a greater amount of its worth after some time. Section 179 of the code tax allows you to deduct some or all the vehicle's price tag in the year you purchase it, yet with limits and this is how you can write off the vehicle for your business.  It was an informative session with Pejman and I really enjoyed how he explained each and everything in a broader aspect to create wealth. ----- Follow me on Instagram and feel free to DM about 1-1 online training @krisgethin Do you need elite sports supplements you can trust to help you achieve your goals in the gym and in life?  Click here https://bit.ly/kgkaged Use the code Healthkik for 15% off all supplements For my preferred Biohacking and anti-aging supplements, go to https://bit.ly/kgbiostacklabs ------- The outcome from using, what is now known as the Visual Chemistry Athletic Skincare range is very clear - your skin will look cleaner, brighter, smoother, younger and will age far better.  Visual Chemistry Gstack Get 20% off and get your G-stack by using code Gethin20 ------- For a range of organic CBD tinctures, bath bombs and muscle recovery creams that I use for sleep, anxiety, joint/muscle pain and relaxation, go to https://bit.ly/kgeliteprocbd

You can't say the grass is greener on the other side of the fence if you never took the time to water yours, so the saying goes. But if you've been standing on it for far too long, been doing everything you possibly can to make it grow and nothing's really happening, don't you think the other side is worth stepping into, after all?

Have you ever wondered about quantum mechanics, string theory, the multiverse, and how the world's greatest leaders ascended to the highest versions of themselves? Welcome back to the Tech Stack Playbook, your guide to apps, software, and tech (but in a fun way I promise)... This week, I got to sit down with entrepreneurial legend, Pejman (PJ) Ghadimi (https://instagram.com/icreatemillionaires), a powerhouse self-made immigrant multi-millionaire entrepreneur, and the best-selling author of Third Circle Theory, Radius, and Gate of Choice. He brings a wealth of knowledge from his 20+ years building businesses that reshape what and how people learn. If you watched Netflix's Fastest Cars, you probably saw PJ on Season 2 Episode 1 featured for his extensive luxury car collection. Additionally, he's the founder and teacher at Exotic Car Hacks (ExoticCarHacks.com), Watch Trading Academy (WatchTradingAcademy.com), and Secret Entourage (https://www.instagram.com/secretentourage). I've benefited immensely from PJ's teachings and mentorship over the past two years, especially since joining Secret Entourage 2 years ago. Being a startup co-founder now, I'm extremely grateful I read Gate of Choice (GOC) when I did because it was a fully transformational and awakening book into what opportunity, growth, scaling, and success really are about. PJ refers to this concept of the "higher self", beyond the point of self actualization, where you really can create your own reality for others to be in. It gets quite meta when you dissect a lot of these topics, but the the subtitle of the book "a dictionary for the higher human" is the subtitle for a reason. It's highly practical and rich with blueprints, strategies, and guides to help anyone ascend to the highest version of themselves. If you're currently building something big or want to in the future, GOC is a must read! To get a copy, go here ➡️ https://www.gateofchoice.com Here's a glance at what you'll learn in this episode:

We were fortunate to be able to get some of PJ's time, where he unpacks some of the concepts and principles found in his book series, which he aptly refers to as journals of his life. Pejman Ghadimi is a self-made entrepreneur, philosopher, author and the creator of the wealth transfer methodology.

Pejman Ghadimi is a self-made entrepreneur and best selling book author born in 1982 in the middle of a revolution in Iran, raised in France for the majority of his childhood, and eventually migrating to the United States in 1997. Raised by a single mother his entire life with very limited resources, Pejman quickly adapted to the idea of being resourceful. Due to lack of finances and the inability to go to college due to family obligations, Pejman chose to start working from a young age and focused his efforts on banking where he built a name for himself very quickly, climbing the ladder all the way to the VP level in a short 4 years span all without any type of formal education or formalized training. Fast forward 3 more years and Pejman left banking with a significant amount of experience, an incredible salary history and real estate portfolio to die for which was later leveraged to founding three major businesses: VIP Motoring, Secret Consulting, and Secret Entourage (which collectively have grossed over $40M in revenue annually). Pejman shares a very unique perspective on success and entrepreneurship; one that involves the birth of innovation through the impact made on others as well as the human connections we create daily backed by years of effective and practical leadership skills. Pejman has authored 10 books to date; his most recent best seller Third Circle Theory focusing on a unique roadmap to achieving a higher level of self-awareness leveraging the power of entrepreneurship. While currently being financially independent, Pejman focuses his efforts on teaching others the importance of self awareness, belief, and the power of defining your role and purpose to others through the Secret Entourage Academy as well as to a select few on a one on one basis. In This Episode: What being an entrepreneur demands. How to revamp your prospect list. What it takes to rise quickly in any company. How familiarity can help you to find a business idea. Why goals should not just be tied to money. What you really need to do to learn a business skill. How to change an industry.   PJ's Favorite Quote: "Whether you believe you can or you can't, you're right." — Henry Ford "The biggest enemy to a great life is a good life."   Links From Today's Show: http://www.pejmanghadimi.com http://www.vipmotoring.net http://www.secretentourage.com http://www.exoticcarhacks.com www.jeremyryanslate.com/survey www.jeremyryanslate.com/cyol   Today's Sponsor:

Circumstances don't define us. "I always do anything I do as if I'm at stake and I have everything to lose."-Pejman Ghadimi The Cheat Sheet: The good is the enemy of the great. What are Pejman's three circles and why do they matter? The fear that holds most of us back: what is it? How he focused on making his life count for more than just making money. It's easier to accept failure than to seek success: true or false? How to start a business if you only have an idea and nothing else. And so much more... When most people think of entrepreneurship today they generally think of the glitz and glamour of making so-called "easy money" on the Internet and working for themselves. Rarely do they think of value creation, which is what our guest for today says is at the very heart of being an entrepreneur. Joining us for episode 335 is self-made multi-millionaire and value creator Pejman Ghadimi. Today he shares his personal story of how he became financially independent by 25 as well as "Secret Entourage" and third circle theory, the name of his company and the title of his latest book. Listen in for details on all of that and so much more on this episode of The Art of Charm. More About This Show: Pejman Ghadimi learned to face challenging circumstances at a very early age. His family was forced to flee when the Iranian ruler was overthrown; his family had been working for the Shah and had to leave or face persecution. Believing the US was the best place for her son, Pejman's mother tried in vain to be allowed into the States for the next year 10 years. She raised him in France, built a successful business and provided him with a stable, happy home. After 10 years of trying she was finally granted a tourist visa. She had a choice: either visit the US and come back to the life she had created for them, or sell everything and take a huge risk to settle in the US. Pejman's uncle lived in Los Angeles and said he could help her extend her visa and eventually settle there, if that was what she wanted. So she sold as much of their belongings as she could, basically left her business and moved them to the US just a few short weeks after being granted a visitor's visa. It began a new chapter for Pejman and his mom. They had no social security numbers and no way to be hired by the usual means. So Pejman hustled, he took whatever job he could find including delivering pizzas on his bicycle in the "hood"! But he learned what it meant to lay it all on the line and to look at every opening as an opportunity, often where others wouldn't. He found work with a telemarketing company, a job most people would hate, and he found a way to succeed after an initial struggle in the position. So much so in fact that by the age of 18 he was in a management role. He parlayed that success into the banking industry before going out on his own. In this episode he shares exactly how he approached a grocery store branch of a bank and landed his first banking job which would lead to being a branch manager before the age of 25. Along the way he started several other companies on the side which continue to be successful today. When he talks about all of these roles and his experiences, he explains how his perspective and his actions have determined his success and how he has not allowed circumstances to slow him down or defeat him. We also discuss his third circle theory, the name of his company and his most recent book. He goes into the theory in greater detail on the show, but in essence the three circles are circumstances, society and life. Each of them rely on mastery of the previous circle to advance to the next. When we learn circumstances can be overcome then we can advance to the level of society mastery, where we discover how to show society we have advanced. We succeed in our jobs, we become wealthy and show others circumstances haven't stopped us. At that point we can move to the level of life mastery, this is where legacy becomes important. We are concerned with mastering life by giving our greatest gifts to the world. One additional topic we discuss is what entrepreneurship is at its heart: value creation. All of us have a degree of entrepreneurial spirit within us, some of us choose to follow it and express it through our career while others don't. Yet all of us can create value for the world, and the byproduct of that value is monetary gain. Pejman explains that in more detail, along with so much more on today's episode. It was an honor to have him here on the show! Please join me in thanking him for sharing his personal journey and his sage-like advice, and thank you for being here too.
