Ep 173 Perfect Pain with Parham Parastaran

Parham Parastaran was the epitome of the American Dream. After fleeing Iran as a child, he had built the “perfect” life for himself: a multimillion-dollar business, his dream home, a loving wife, and three beautiful children – all while nursing a secret. Normal days at the office or home are punctuated by seven-hour showers, faked business trips, and the constant fear of discovery.

 

Until one morning when he wakes up to his wife’s horrified face - and realises he is passed out face up on his bar, stark naked, surrounded by glass and traces of fine white powder.

Parham is Mick's guest on this week's Podcast, sharing the secrets behind his journey, and how using the idea of "perfect pain", finds happiness in his everyday life beyond the trappings of money.
