Sam Bashiry: From Refugee to Telco Titan: How I Risked Everything to Build an Empire

What happens when resilience meets opportunity?

In this episode, Sam Bashiry shares his remarkable journey from an Iranian refugee to one of Australia's most formidable telco entrepreneurs. After arriving in Australia at age 10 and enduring three years in detention, Sam turned hardship into fuel, building Broadband Solutions from a $500 gamble to a dominant force serving over 800 hotels. But success didn’t stop at profits.

Sam gets real about battling giants like Telstra, redefining founder clichés, and why fulfillment goes beyond wealth. Expect raw lessons on faking it ‘til you make it, outworking talent, walking away from toxic clients, and why success means stopping to "smell the flowers."

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to break cycles, build empires, and stay grounded, this one’s for you.
