Within a few short years of begging for a job at McDonald’s — and being declined — Pejman Ghadimi was managing and training others in a lucrative banking job. When he lost that job a few years later, he leveraged his interests and experience to build multiple businesses around turning luxury items from liabilities into assets. In addition, Pejman is a bestselling author who is helping to train the next generation of entrepreneurs.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
- How Pejman’s desire to work and excel led him into banking, even though he didn’t have a college degree
- How he leveraged his personal interests in luxury items and his banking background to grow new businesses
- Why Secret Entourage is different from much of the entrepreneurial hype seen online
- About his bestselling book, Third Circle Theory, and his most recent book, Radius.
