Manage episode 297030382 series 2949024
Farhoud Meybodi is an award winning producer and director in LA. In this episode, Farhoud tells us about the elements of his values that one would call feminists. He tells us how he has always been sensitive to the subject of diversity, growing up in Los Angeles with parents who had immigrated from Iran while being educated in a Catholic school. Experiences that have impacted him and made him interested in equality and how people can heal around these issues through collaborative conversations that integrate men. He tells us about his hard-working mother who showed him that women could do anything by achieving her own success and dreams (as well as teaching him respect for ancestors). Farhoud then tells us how it was the obvious choice for him to delve into the world of media by founding Wayfarer Entertainment, to use storytelling as a way of changing hearts and minds. We are lucky that one of the positive impact projects the company undertook was Man Enough, a series that interviews well known male figures about equality subjects, such as the MeToo movement. Although no studio wanted to take up Man Enough, forcing Wayfarer to self finance the project and diffuse it through YouTube, the series has been viewed more than 20 million times.
