The Emperor of Cool Sam Nazarian Shares Life Lessons: Think Big!!

On May 10, 2009, six accomplished Iranian Americans gathered at UCLA’s Royce Hall to share the trials and tribulations of their lives with the next generation. The event was the first of what we expect will be many such events called, “Passing the Torch of Success to the Next Generation of Leaders,” a forum aimed at inspiring Iranian American youth with lessons learned from the community leaders of today.

For those who were unable to attend this unprecedented event, and in an effort to share the experience and value of the program with all, PAAIA and IFL are periodically releasing videos capturing the presentations of each of the speakers.

Today we present the interview with Sam Nazarian, the CEO of SBE and the renowned entrepreneur, real estate financier and hotelier in Southern California.
