farbod rezvani of Greater Los Angeles Area on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to farbod rezvani. Check out our conversation below.

Good morning farbod, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What is a normal day like for you right now?
Days are very busy with a lot of productivity.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Farbod “Phil” Rezvani, founder of Di Nalli Construction, based in West Los Angeles. Since my first feature, the company has experienced significant growth, both in scale and vision. What began as a hands-on construction and renovation firm has evolved into a full-service, high-end operation, known for design-driven builds, meticulous execution, and long-term value.

As our client base and project scope expanded, we recognized a need to offer the same level of quality and control beyond construction alone. This led to the launch of our subsidiary, Appliance and Plumbing by Di Nali (APD Home), which provides luxury appliances and high-end plumbing solutions to projects throughout California. The goal was simple: eliminate fragmentation, elevate standards, and ensure that every detail, from structure to finish, meets the same uncompromising level of excellence.

What continues to make Di Nalli unique is our integrated approach, our emphasis on craftsmanship over shortcuts, and our ability to grow without losing the personalized service that built our reputation. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about what we’re building next.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
One of the moments that most shaped how I see the world happened when I was young, when my father gave my brother and me a simple challenge: find scrap lumber and nails and build a chair, one sturdy enough for him to sit on. There were no instructions, no shortcuts, and no room for failure. If it didn’t work, it didn’t count.

From that moment on, curiosity took over. We started taking everything apart just to understand how it worked, nothing in the house was truly safe from us, whether it was the TV, the radio, or anything with moving parts. That curiosity turned into a lasting fascination with building and problem-solving. It taught me that craftsmanship carries responsibility, and that the best work comes from understanding something fully before putting it together. That mindset still guides everything I do today.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me humility, patience, and perspective in a way success never could. It forced me to learn how to be uncomfortable, and to stay there without backing down. Being uncomfortable removes illusions and demands growth. There are no shortcuts when things are difficult; you either adapt or you stall.

Success can validate you, but suffering shapes you. It taught me that real progress comes from discipline, consistency, and integrity, especially when the outcome isn’t guaranteed. Learning to embrace discomfort is what ultimately pushed me forward, and it continues to drive how I build, lead, and make decisions today.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I’m deeply committed to quality, integrity, and constant reinvention, no matter how long it takes. Quality means refusing to cut corners, even when it’s easier or cheaper. Integrity means standing behind your work and your word, especially when no one is watching. And reinvention means never accepting “good enough.” I want to continue to reinvent the wheel, to challenge how things are done and push for better, smarter, and more intentional solutions.

These principles aren’t about quick wins; they’re about building something that lasts. They guide every decision I make and every project I take on, and they’re the foundation of everything I’m working toward.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope people say that I stood for truth, integrity, quality, fairness, and selflessness, especially when it would have been easier to compromise. That I believed in doing things the right way, not the fast way, and that I treated people with honesty, respect, and care at every level. I want to be remembered as someone whose work reflected excellence and purpose, and whose actions were guided by service rather than ego. If that’s the story people tell, then I’ve done something meaningful.
