In this inspiring episode of That Entrepreneur Show, Vincent A. Lanci welcomes Shirin Behzadi—entrepreneur, board advisor, investor, and author of The Unexpected CEO.

Shirin shares her remarkable journey from fleeing chaos in Iran, arriving in the U.S. alone at 17, and working as a gas station cashier behind bulletproof glass… to ultimately scaling a franchise company to nearly $1 billion in systemwide sales.

Shirin opens up about:
-How adversity became her greatest superpower
-The mindset shift that turned hopelessness into her North Star
-Lessons from leading cultural transformations and navigating private equity
-Why empathy, listening, and integrity aren’t soft skills—they’re competitive advantages
-The courageous decisions that shaped her path from EY to CFO to founder
-The story behind her book and the timeless principles she uses to help companies grow

Shirin’s journey is a testament to resilience, vision, and believing you can—long before anyone else does.

Tune in to learn how to define your vision, trust your path, and harness adversity to build the life and business you dream of.
