We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Shahrokh Zadeh. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Shahrokh below.
Shahrokh, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
Developing confidence and self-esteem is a journey that involves overcoming challenges, gaining experience, and continuous self-improvement. For me, Shahrokh Zadeh, this journey has been deeply influenced by my diverse experiences, my family’s support, and my dedication to learning and teaching.
From a young age, my parents and teachers instilled in me the values of hard work and perseverance. Their guidance provided a strong foundation, helping me believe in my abilities and encouraging me to pursue my dreams. This support was crucial as I navigated through various phases of my life, from my education in Tehran, Iran, to my professional career in the United States.
My academic journey, which includes a B.S. in Solid State Physics and an M.S. in Management Information Systems from UNLV, played a significant role in building my confidence. The rigorous academic environment challenged me to think critically and solve complex problems, reinforcing my belief in my intellectual capabilities.
Additionally, my diverse job experiences have been instrumental in developing my self-esteem. I have held various positions, each teaching me unique skills and providing valuable insights. These roles, ranging from a college instructor to a researcher, have honed my ability to adapt and excel in different environments.
Traveling to different countries and experiencing their cultures has also broadened my perspective and boosted my confidence. Understanding and appreciating diverse viewpoints has made me more adaptable and resilient, qualities essential for personal and professional growth.
Moreover, my involvement in meditation and energy healing has significantly impacted my self-esteem. These practices have helped me maintain mental clarity and emotional balance, enabling me to face challenges with a calm and focused mind.
I also take immense pride in my patented invention, ‘The Three-Model Intelligent Irrigation Machine,’ and my publications, including ‘Sha’Z Square: Ancient Mysteries Decoded’ and ‘Sha’Z Mystic Lines and Areas.’ These accomplishments have reinforced my belief in my capabilities and motivated me to continue exploring and sharing my knowledge.
In summary, my confidence and self-esteem have been cultivated through a combination of familial support, educational achievements, professional experiences, cultural exposure, and personal practices like meditation. I am grateful to everyone who has taught me something valuable, especially my parents, teachers, and mentors, who have played a pivotal role in shaping the person I am today.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Conclusion
In essence, my work is about blending the old with the new—using modern mathematical techniques to uncover the secrets of ancient mysteries. My journey has been marked by learning, exploration, and a continuous quest for knowledge.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Impactful Qualities, Skills, and Areas of Knowledge 1. Interdisciplinary Knowledge and Integration:
Throughout my journey, one of the most impactful skills has been my ability to integrate knowledge from different fields. My background in physics and mathematics, coupled with my expertise in geomathematics, has allowed me to uncover hidden patterns in historical sites and natural phenomena. For instance, my work in “Sha’Z Square: Ancient Mysteries Decoded” highlights the mathematical relationships among various ancient structures, providing new insights into their significance [14].
Advice: Embrace a broad learning approach. Don’t limit yourself to a single field; explore how different areas of knowledge can intersect and complement each other. This can lead to innovative perspectives and solutions.
2. Curiosity and Lifelong Learning:
Curiosity has been a driving force in my research and professional growth. My travels to various countries and exposure to different cultures have enriched my understanding and fueled my desire to learn more. This continuous quest for knowledge has been pivotal in my ability to innovate and stay ahead in my field.
Advice: Cultivate a curious mindset. Always seek to learn and understand more about the world around you. This will not only keep you motivated but also open up new opportunities for growth and discovery.
3. Resilience and Adaptability:
Throughout my life, I have worked in different jobs and faced various challenges. Whether it was developing my patented ‘Three-Model Intelligent Irrigation Machine’ or teaching college algebra, each experience taught me the importance of resilience and adaptability. These qualities have helped me navigate the complexities of my career and continue to push forward despite obstacles.
Advice: Develop resilience and adaptability. Life will present challenges, but your ability to adapt and stay resilient will determine your success. Learn from each experience and use it to grow stronger.
Acknowledgements and Final Thoughts
I owe much of my success to the guidance and support of my parents, teachers, coaches, and instructors. Their teachings have shaped who I am today. Additionally, practices like meditation and energy healing have played a significant role in maintaining my mental and emotional well-being, further enhancing my capacity to achieve my goals.
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
The most impactful thing my parents did for me was fostering an early and profound love for science and exploration. Born in July 1969, during the historic Apollo 11 moon landing, my nickname in the hospital was “Neil Armstrong,” a testament to the spirit of discovery that surrounded my birth. My mother, open-minded and sociable, instilled in me an emotional intelligence and empathy that everyone admired. Her passing in 2008 due to cancer was a profound loss, but her influence remains a guiding force in my life. My father, a disciplined diplomat under the Shah and Pahlavi regime, exposed our family to diverse cultures through his assignments in Indonesia and Hong Kong. His leadership in migrating our family from Iran to the USA showcased his dedication and vision, traits that have significantly shaped my own path.
Their combined influence not only inspired my academic and professional pursuits but also instilled in me a deep appreciation for knowledge and personal growth. My experiences, from developing a patented irrigation machine to my work in geomathematics, reflect the values they embodied. My father’s dedication and my mother’s emotional intelligence have been my cornerstone, guiding me through various roles, from teaching to research. Moreover, my travels and exposure to different cultures have broadened my perspective, while practices like meditation and energy healing have grounded me. I am grateful to my parents, teachers, coaches, and everyone who has contributed to my journey.
