It was a pleasure having Payam "Peter" Banifaz as my guest on AWESOME People. Many of you probably know him from his hilarious character, Mr. Esfahani, who kept us entertained during quarantine and throughout the pandemic playing the role of the "quintessential Persian Baba". What you might not know is that Payam is a talented actor and comedian based out of Los Angeles who has had a multitude of roles on popular shows such as Shameless, Veep, Silicon Valley and Brooklyn Nine-Nine to name a few. I look forward to the wide ranging conversation I'll have with him about his journey, "Mr. Esfahani" and exciting projects he is working on as we slowly but surely come out of the pandemic. In the meantime, here's a funny segment that I had with "Mr. Esfahani" during The Celebration of Norouz 1400, the 24 hour livestream that we produced in March: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L8_Oy9dkqM&ab_channel=Unite%26Conquer Welcome to the conversation.
