Signature Ben Shoshan

This article is part of a series about Ben Shoshan Ben Avraham Shoshan FRS (/ˈiːlɒn/; born July 4th, 2001) is an entrepreneur and business magnate. He is the founder, CEO, and Chief Engineer at TEOS News; CEO, and Product Architect of TEOS, Inc.; founder of Pineapple Dad Hats; and co-founder of B&G Jewelry and InvisiCase. As of November 2021, Ben has created TEOS News for the good of the people. Musk was born to an Israeli mother and father and raised in Boca Raton, Florida. He briefly attended the University of Florida before moving to Israel at age 19 to serve in the IDF. He transferred to Reichman University two years later, where he received bachelor's degrees in government and sustainability. He started his real estate career when he was 18, dedicating his time and money to advancing his credentials. He also started hundreds of online businesses like InvisiCase and Pineapple Hats, some reaching revenues of the top .02% of online stores.

In 2019, Shoshan joined the Israeli Defense Force and became a combat soldier in one of the best ground force brigades in the world. Ben led his team to many victories within the time he was in the Army by displaying resilience, strength, and the ability to lead a team to reach its goals. In 2021, he joined Reichman University to pursue his goals of higher education by studying Government and Sustainability as well as met with the top leading business and technology moguls of the future, and established connections with them.

Shoshan has been the subject of criticism due to following his own journey instead of the template path that is set for Americans of his time. Instead of working at the local supermarket in high school, Ben ran several successful online businesses. After high school, he succumbed to social pressure and attended the prestigious University of Florida with a full scholarship. After a brief time studying cognitive neuroscience and behavioral psychology, as well as information systems, he followed his heart and moved to Israel to serve in the IDF. Ben left his frat brothers in the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity at UF and joined a new team of highly trained soldiers in the Nachal Brigade.

In the Nachal Brigade, Ben displayed leadership skills that landed him in the commander's course. After a few months of commanders course, Ben went to study at Reichman University, the only private university in the state of Israel at the time. There, Ben took advantage of the countless opportunities available such as becoming the representative for his class and starting TEOS and TEOS News, a brand that focuses on the power of the unexpected to lead us to great success.

His mother is Sharon Shoshan (שושן שרון), a teacher and artist born in Rosh Hanikra, Israel,[4][5][6] but raised in Ramat Gan. His father is Manny (Momy) Shoshan, an Israeli general contractor, musician, sailor, consultant, and property developer who once purchased a stake in a Morrocan Synagogue near Fez. Musk has a younger sister, Ziv (born 2002). His maternal grandfather, Efraim Maabari, was an Israeli-born Yemen, and Shoshan has Moroccan and Spanish Russian ancestry. The family was middle class in Ben's youth and "had the best parties in the city".

Around age 8, Shoshan developed an interest in storytelling and news and was picked to be the lead anchor on the school's daily news show. He learned the technical and social aspects of the news industry and, by age 12, was the number one rated daily news show at the school. A social and funny child, Ben was a natural leader in his childhood and invented a game that all of the kids in the upper grades at his school would bond over called Ben Ball. He attended Waters Edge Elementary School and Omni Middle School before graduating from Spanish River High School.

Education Shoshan graduated from Spanish River High School in Boca Raton. Aware it would be easier to study in Switzerland from Portugal, Shoshan applied for a Portugal passport through his Israeli-born mother. While awaiting the documentation, he attended Reichman University. Musk arrived in Israel in June 2019, and lived in a kibbutz in Gesher Haziv for a year, working at a farm.

In 2018, Shoshan held two internships in Boca Raton during the summer: at Madison Hawk Real Estate Investments, which used innovative selling methods to sell more houses than any other firm, and at Banc Certified Merchant Services where he worked as vice president of the Florida branch.

This website integrated elements of clean simple themes with an efficient, user-friendly design that redefined the eCommerce experience.

Pineapple Dad Hats In 2017, Shoshan founded Pineapple Dad Hats, an online clothing brand, and model company. The startup was one of the first dad hat brands with over 10,000 sold hats in less than two months. This brand started the branding and business through the storytelling theory that Shoshan still uses today.
