Today’s guest represents the real meaning of entrepreneurship — not influencers, not hype, not fake success stories — but real work, real struggle, and real results.

My guest is Kambiz Behjati, known to most as Kam. Born in Tehran, Iran, Kam grew up around the time of the 1979 revolution and witnessed firsthand what happens when a nation loses its freedom.

Like millions of Iranians, Kam left everything behind and started from zero in the West. A new language. A new culture. Factory work. CNC machines. Long hours. No shortcuts.

Today, he is a key partner and driving force behind US Door & More — one of the most advanced residential wood manufacturing companies in the United States. The company is fully automated, heavily powered by AI and software, proudly 100% Made in America, and built on a 15-year long-term vision, not overnight success.

Their website receives over 7,000 visitors per day, and they ship across the United States and Canada — proof that real businesses are built through patience, discipline, and execution.

But this conversation goes beyond business.

Kam is also an Iranian who remembers what freedom looked like before the Islamic regime — and understands what Iran lost.

In this episode, we discuss:

Immigration and starting over from nothing
Real entrepreneurship vs fake success culture
AI and automation in American manufacturing
Long-term vision vs overnight hype
The situation in Iran — from someone who lived it, escaped it, and rebuilt his life

This is a real story. And this is exactly the kind of guest I bring to this podcast.
