She Was Arrested at 15. Then She Built an $850M Company | Shirin Behzadi Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

In this week’s episode, host Dhar Mann sits down with Shirin Behzadi, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and former CEO of Home Franchise Concepts, to discuss her extraordinary journey from surviving political unrest to leading a multi-million-dollar empire.
Shirin shares her harrowing experience of being arrested as a teenager in post-revolution Iran, fleeing to Turkey alone at 17 with no passport, and arriving in Southern California working the graveyard shift behind bulletproof glass at a gas station.

She reveals the mindset of "delusion", turning hope into certainty, that propelled her from a cashier studying calculus to a CPA at a Big Eight accounting firm, corporate CFO, and ultimately a private-equity-backed CEO who doubled a major enterprise before executing a massive exit. Shirin also opens up about the life-or-death health crisis that forced her to relearn how to walk, redefining her perspective on leadership, empathy, and resilience.
