Who would think that a religious scholar would become a media entrepreneur and an Emmy-nominated producer? That’s what happens when you become an unexpected entrepreneur. But it doesn’t come without costs – as Reza Aslan knows well from having his TV show canceled from CNN due to some controversial comments he made on social media about politics.
On today’s episode, we meet a fascinating example of what you can achieve when you think outside of what you’re supposed to do, harness your inner entrepreneur, and build outside the box.
Meet our guest:
