Meet Ram

RamzySweis is the founder of NeverRepeataJoke.com. Get a taste for his work in the video below.

Ramzy has toured internationally and earned a reputation for himself by achieving the rare feat of never repeating a joke after 83 episodes at 53 comedy clubs in Indiana, New Jersey, LA, Nashville, Chicago, and the Middle East.

Another thing that makes Ramzy unique is that he invests in a cafe in Amman, Jordan where he performs in his native tongue. The Arab News formerly employed Ramzy to run a column, but he lost that gig after 14 months of writing bi-weekly columns as his editors feared for his safety as he lured 380K readers, and some of his work received an incendiary backlash.

Ramzy has spent a lot of time building a social media following and creating a niche in the market, a universal demographic and social empire appraised at $13K by Vocus. He counts 39K followers on Twitter, 10K fans on Facebook, and 2 million views as a YouTube Partner.

In Ramzy's own words: "We can contain class clowns running amok who are the life of the party. Ice-breakers. Diffuse tension. Without a creative outlet. Women become Instagram famous with a single scantily clad photo. Men are forced to amuse behind a computer screen. Loneliness reduces serotonin which is vital in health & functioning. Certain economic adjustments & social changes are imperative to avoid cultural disaster."

Introducing Mojtaba Khamenei of Algorates

You may have seen the name Mojtaba Khamenei in the news because of the fact that his father is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But did you know that Mojtaba Khamenei is the owner of Algorates, a company that specializes in algorithmic trading?

Because of the trade embargo, it was difficult for Mojtaba Khamenei to achieve his goal of building a business outside of Iran, but after some years of work, he was able to purchase Algorates. In fact, it is the first investment house in the US to be owned by an Iranian.

Algorates has become a huge international company, with a large advertising budget expended in the Middle East in particular. In fact, the company has 20 branches in the Middle East. The success of the company has allowed Mojtaba Khamenei to develop other businesses and make other major purchases in the US and Europe--for example, he owns a French soccer team.

With the global economy, it can be interesting indeed to find out who the owners of various international companies happen to be. You might find a surprise or two, such as the son of an Iranian cleric who has become the head of a US-based investment house.
