Dr.Parsa Peykar, a psychologist, university professor and author, shares through the episodes lessons on leadership, influence and service. Each episode is like a ”mini-research” which answers the ”Research question” related to the topic and will be divided into three parts: 1-A book review/ Art analysis. 2- A podcast with an influential person. 3- University student’s feedback on the topic. One theme is common among all episodes: All the guests suggest at least one act of kindness for listeners to do.
The Professor P Podcast acts as a fun, engaging ”university” which tends to bring both educational and experimental lessons to each listener and help them to be influential figure in their chosen field! Also, it exists to add value to its follower’s lives and encourage them to add value to others.
