Shabnam Mogharabi is an accomplished entertainment executive and entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience leading media companies in strategy, growth, culture, and content. She is also a lifelong student of positive psychology.
With actor Rainn Wilson, Shabnam co-founded the inspiring, mission-driven studio SoulPancake, which she ran as CEO for nearly a decade before a successful exit to film studio Participant. Under her leadership, SoulPancake amassed 1B+ video views, claimed 12M+ social media fans, and produced 50+ hours of award-winning television.
It was in espousing the values of SoulPancake – the importance of joy, hope, purpose, and gratitude – that Shabnam found a calling as a public speaker. Today, while she professionally advises early-stage media and entertainment companies on their strategy, she finds personal fulfillment by sharing her uplifting, vulnerable message on how to harness the power of joy at dozens of conferences and events a year.
