SAM BAKHTIAR: Our Tribute To A True Legend

Real Talk University: Exploring Success Stories Outside of The Classroom

Many months ago, we had the privilege of having Sam Bakhtiar on the podcast to record an episode. We knew how successful Sam was, but we knew little of how humble, caring, kind, and passionate he would turn out to be from the instant we sat down with him.

Sam has an incredible story of immigrating to the United States from Iran when he was young, and has made a name and a career for himself in the fitness industry. He gave us valuable insights into entrepreneurship and what it takes to be successful, but most importantly, he was grateful for us inviting him on to talk and share his wisdom.

We are deeply saddened to learn that Sam passed away unexpectedly on December 23rd, 2020. Our interview with Sam was archived in our files and never released, as the podcast has taken a bit of a back seat for us as we focus on other ventures.

Once we heard the news, we knew we had to release this episode right away in memory of Sam.

In the age of social media, it can be hard at times to come across someone as successful as Sam that's still a genuine, caring, compassionate person. Sam was all of those things and more, and we are grateful to have crossed paths with him and learn alongside his mentorship.

RIP Sam Bakhtiar
