The hardest parts of our lives can become part of what we decide is worth #givingback. @PayamZamani tells @brettahurt that #writing helped him confront his past, while @OnePlanetOps gave it direction. What we carry can keep shaping where we choose to be useful. (link in bio)

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, hundreds of Baha’is have been killed by the Iranian government. Every Baha’i was expelled from government jobs. Baha’is were barred from the most basic citizenship rights, in the country of their birth. For 47 years, Baha’i youth have been barred from attending universities. This isn’t history. It’s still happening. See the full episode here: piped.video/n8lqyY0ca-g?si=4-BG…

No one builds a business alone, and no one builds it in a vacuum. Every one of us who has started a company stood on 250 years of infrastructure, institutions, and freedoms we didn't create. People sacrificed for that. Many gave their lives for it. The rule of law, the stability, the freedom to take a risk and fail and try again, none of that was inevitable. It was built, and it was paid for. Success feels personal. But it always requires collective effort.  Here’s the link to full episode: piped.video/n8lqyY0ca-g?si=E0ny…

Recently I sat down with Kyle Mathew for his podcast, The Mathew’s Mentality. We covered a lot of ground: my life as a Baha’i under the Islamic Republic and the atrocities that government committed against so many, fleeing Iran, my early years in the U.S., and becoming an entrepreneur. Thank you, Kyle, for the opportunity. You can watch the full episode on YouTube: piped.video/n8lqyY0ca-g?si=JsB6…

Hope has been the subject of over 2,000 scientific studies. Yet it remains one of the least understood forces in human resilience. For world-renowned architect and author Adam Robarts, hope is not a passive feeling; it’s an active process. Hope can be measured 📐 Hope can be cultivated 🌱 Hope can be intentionally designed 🏛️ Drawing on neuroscience, personal experience, and decades of design leadership, Adam offers a powerful vision of hope as a driving force in the way we live and work. 🎥 Watch the full talk from the One Planet Summit: piped.video/JVyssqcCNRY #OnePlanetSummit #SpiritualCapitalism #SpiritualEnterprise

Join us as @PayamZamani sits down with Zhang Xin to explore her remarkable journey. From factory floors to skylines to faith and filmmaking, Zhang’s story offers sage insights into leadership, creativity, and the values that shape our future. Once called “the woman who built Beijing,” Zhang Xin rose from working in Hong Kong factories to co-founding and leading SOHO China through a $1.9B IPO. Today, she focuses on human storytelling through her New York-based film production company, Closer Media. This conversation is about more than career milestones.

Six out of ten marketing dollars vanish into noise— ads that don’t land, impressions that don’t convert, campaigns without accountability What if waste wasn’t part of the equation? Imagine those same dollars fully at work • measured • optimized • made to perform That kind of lift can mean 8x more ROI. This is the promise of performance-driven marketing. Welcome to the future, fulfilled.

Not all scale is created equal. Some grow with speed. Others grow with intention. We’re trying both. Some call this the purpose premium. We just call it business done right. @inspirato @buyerlinkcom #OnePlanetPlatforms

The 19th Amendment was a milestone, not the destination. 105 years ago today, women in the U.S. secured the right to vote. It marked real progress, but true equality lives not just in laws— it lives in how we work, lead, and build together. At One Planet Group, advancing this principle is part of who we are. “The world of humanity has two wings—one is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly.” Next stop: full flight. #OnePlanetGroup #Equality #19thAmendment

Being niche can be powerful. But staying niche? That’s expensive. 95% of the world’s consumers live outside the U.S. And global demand is only growing $580 billion today. $1 trillion by 2030. That’s the expected growth of digital marketplaces worldwide. The future belongs to those willing to grow beyond the niche. @inspirato @BuyerLinkCom #OnePlanetPlatforms #Buyerlink #Inspirato

Keely Cat-Wells is reshaping how we think about talent. At the One Planet Summit, the Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and founder of Making Space shared how she has built her career challenging the systems that keep disabled people from fully participating in the workforce. The disabled community holds over $13 trillion in annual disposable income globally. While significant, Keely argues that change must go far beyond economic arguments. Keely built C Talent into a roster with a reach of over 50 million before its acquisition in 2022 — the largest of its kind for a company specializing in disabled talent. Through Making Space, she is addressing workforce exclusion on a global scale and creating new and lasting pathways to meaningful careers for disabled professionals. 🎥 Watch the full talk: piped.video/NBxKWa1Z9QA #OnePlanetSummit #FutureofWork #Forbes30Under30 #SpiritualCapitalism #SpiritualEnterprise

“It’s just business.” We’ve all heard the phrase. But when we strip the human element from business, we lose the deeper joy, and the upliftment, that can come from building something great. We’re excited to begin releasing talks from the 2nd One Planet Summit starting with this opening address from its founder, @PayamZamani For anyone who leads, builds, or invests, he invites us to consider: 💡What if the true legacy of our work is not only in the numbers we hit or the scale we achieve, but more so in the lives we uplift, the people we serve, and the influence we leave behind? Challenging the notion that the values we were raised with have no place in the workplace, Payam offers a human-centered vision of business… One that sets the tone for the entire Summit. 📺 Watch the full talk: piped.video/AMJUQ-kRdtY?si=vd4X… #OnePlanetSummit #SpiritualEnterprise #SpiritualCapitalism

Over the years, my team and I worked hard in building @BuyerLinkCom into a $120M+ business—profitably and without outside capital. Joining forces with Inspirato allows us to bring that same performance mindset and technology backbone to luxury travel. Together, we’re creating a tech-enabled platform built for growth, efficiency, and impact. NOTE: The future combined entities – Buyerlink and Inspirato – post-merger will operate under one umbrella company, @1PlanetPlatform, currently traded on Nasdaq: ISPO. A new ticker will be introduced and shares will automatically trade under it upon closing of the merger. The combined companies are currently projected to generate approximately $350 million in revenue and $30 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2025; however, these figures are preliminary estimates and subject to change based on future performance, market conditions, and final integration outcomes. @inspirato #Inspirato #Buyerlink #OnePlanetPlatforms
