Business and Economy, the need for a new framework , a fireside Chat with Payam Zamani
A conversation with Payam Zamani. He will share his personal journey growing up in Iran, escaping Iran as a teenage refugee, settling in the U.S. and his entrepreneurial experiences. The business world is in a dire need of a new framework, one that is based not solely on the maximization of wealth and profits but rather a framework that considers the positive impact businesses can have on communities and the betterment of the world. Is there a framework offered by the Baha'i Faith? Are there elements of a spiritual approach shared in the Writings that can be our guide?
Payam Zamani is the founder, chairman, and CEO of One Planet Group, a hybrid tech firm that owns and operates a suite of online technology and media businesses. He is also the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of BahaiTeachings.org, and is an early-stage investor. Payam came to the United States as a 16-year-old Baha’i refugee. He’s built One Planet on a model not focused solely on financial success, but with an ethos of sacrificial giving and universal philanthropy, believing that businesses should consider the betterment of the world and be a source of good.
