How does growing up between cultures shape one’s perspective on business, technology, and mental well-being?
In this episode of Third Culture Therapy, we’re joined by Amir Bozorgzadeh, co-founder and CEO of Virtuleap, a startup combining neuroscience with virtual reality to address cognitive disorders like ADD, ADHD, addiction, and phobias. Born to Iranian parents in Canada, and having lived in the UAE for over a decade, Amir reflects on how his third-culture upbringing influenced his entrepreneurial journey. He shares how his connection to Iran’s ancient culture clashes with his Canadian upbringing and the challenges of doing business in contemporary Iran.
Amir discusses the mental health benefits of VR but also warns about the risks of overusing this technology. We also dive into his views on the venture capital world, why it’s often problematic, and how being outspoken has sometimes left him at odds with the entrepreneurial community. Join us as we explore how Amir’s third-culture experience has shaped his approach to technology, business, and personal growth.
