Smart Business Revolution is John Corcoran's interview podcast about how entrepreneurs build businesses and relationships. In the episode "Learning from Failures and Setbacks," Iman Aghay tells the story at the heart of this film, the internal bleed that took 60 percent of his blood, the move from Iran to Vancouver, and founding the Vancouver Business Network and Success Road Academy.
The conversation also goes places the film does not (his father building a 10,000-employee company in Iran before being diagnosed with ALS at 50, and the burnout Iman hit after giving more than 200 talks a year), so it works as a fuller, more unguarded companion to the film.
