If You Want to Become a Visionary Leader, These Are Your Next Five Moves
Leadership wisdom from Iran’s answer to Jordan Peterson
The author of the book I want to tell you about today has an absolutely wild life story.
He’s from Iran originally, but when I think of the American Dream, I think of this guy.
So here he was, as a very young boy in Iran…his parents fled the country. Literally escaped with just the few possessions they had and set out for America.
One of his earliest memories is of the bridge they just crossed in order to escape getting demolished by government forces.
That could have been his last memory.
Alright, so he lands in America, grows into a young man, loves bodybuilding and working out — he wasn’t much of a reader, but he got into the army, finds some discipline, and realizes that he wants to do more with his life.
But he’s still partying all the time, drinking, doing all the stuff young people normally do. And that’s cool. Honestly, no judgement.
Still, no one really thought he’d amount to much. Including him.
Then, he starts reading books.
A lot of books. Changes his life through reading (just like this other guy you know!) and starts his own…
