On this episode of The CLS Experience, we have a very exclusive treat. Visionary entrepreneur Payam Zamani shares his transformative journey from a young refugee to a pioneering advocate for spiritual capitalism. His story is not just about building successful businesses like AutoWeb and One Planet Group, but also about intertwining deep spiritual beliefs with everyday business practices. Payam's unique perspective challenges traditional views on capitalism, emphasizing the importance of valuing individuals beyond their economic contributions and fostering meaningful interactions in the business world.

We explore Payam's personal experiences growing up as a Baha'i facing persecution in Iran. The story of how he was smuggled out of the country to realize his dreams in America serves as a poignant reminder of the optimism and resilience needed to overcome adversity. We discuss America's ongoing role as a symbol of hope for those in distress worldwide and underscores the spiritual dimensions of such a refuge. We are also examining the profound impact of setting audacious goals and embracing challenges as catalysts for personal growth. Payam's insights on questioning as a tool for uncovering truths reflect a commitment to lifelong learning inspired by his Baha'i faith. Through this conversation, we contemplate a conscious form of capitalism where personal growth, service, and purpose seamlessly integrate, offering a path to authentic living and spiritual fulfillment. Let's go deep!
