When you deal with adversity in life, you have two options - let that adversity define your life or move forward

Sam Bakhtiar had seemingly everything working against him as a child.

He was born in Iran, a third-world country that was constantly getting bombed and experiencing air strikes during its war against Iraq, and he didn’t have a father in his life

Sam and his mother escaped from the war-torn country and moved to the United States when he was 11 years old with just $500 and one piece of luggage.

But when he came to America, he was placed into a low-income town in Pennsylvania filled with drugs, prostitution and gun violence. And at school, Sam was constantly bullied and called names because he was a different nationality and skin color than everyone else.

However, he’s thankful he went through these experiences because they've molded him into the man he is today.

Sam now has an amazing family, lives in a multi-million dollar home, has lots of nice cars, is the CEO of a 9-figure company (The Camp Transformation Center) and owns multiple successful businesses.

If you’ve ever wondered how to deal with adversity in your life, Sam walks through his mindset and approach that helped him escape the challenges to become the success he is today.

I really enjoyed this interview with Sam because he’s an amazing human being always looking to add value to the lives of others.
