MEET OUR THIRD INTERVIEWEE FROM IRAN

9/14/2022

13 Comments

 
(and our first male guest)
His name is Meysam Ahmadi, and he lives in Tehran, Iran with his wife Ghazaleh and little Jesse—do those last two names ring familiar to you? They just might--if you were able to watch last month’s video interview (13 minutes), when Ghazaleh and Jesse the chihuahua were featured! And Meysam, a video designer and editor by profession, is the one who edited that video for us! But now he’s our special interviewee for this blogpost--and was kind enough to edit his own videoclip as well!
 
So, in Meysam’s interview segment below (21 minutes), Meysam will also share a few details and thoughts about him, his family, his culture, his growing up years, and his current life in Iran.
Meysam expresses his thanks for your attention and interest! If after the interview you have any questions or comments for him, please feel free to enter them here or in the “Comments” section that follows the video.
 
Meysam, we also thank you [Kheilee mamnoon] for being the third person to take part in this interview series! You will also find Meysam’s video interview on YouTube! (Please invite others to view as well!)
 
P.S. A final detail: In my next blogpost (in the next week or so), I will have the honor of introducing you to a fellow author (Elizabeth, from England!) who has made it her business to interview ME and post the writeup on her website! A clever writer of cozy mysteries (and who doesn’t like a cozy mystery?), she playfully claims she “tells lies for a living.” Hope you’ll pay a visit then!

OMG! Meysam and his wife ate such beautiful people, inside and out! Their wisdom and their kindness just emanate when they speak. It makes me sad that world politics keep us from knowing and embracing one another. Thanks for introducing us to this beautiful, multi-talented man. I pray that he and his wife will be reunited soon. I also pray that he and his wife may soon actualize their dreams. He and Gazelle will surely make this world a better place. Thank you Leslie!
By the way, I loved the beautiful music in the background! Leslie your voice is complimentary music to this lovely interview.

Leslie, Meysam is a very bright 'dot in the universe' as he referred to in the poem he explained. His smile is gentle and so bright. I enjoyed watching this interview and thank him for sharing his insights and beliefs with the world.
Meysam - Thank you so much for inviting us into your world.
All the best of luck in life and in your job. It sounds exciting and fulfilling.
Wendy
