The Balancing Act

The following segment aired on “The Balancing Act” on Lifetime Television. Joining the show was Alonzo Mourning to discuss his philanthropic efforts in Alonzo Mourning Charities.

The Balancing Act: Well, our next guest is a former professional basketball player who played most of his fifteen-year NBA career for your, my, everybody’s Miami Heat.  His tenacity on defense twice earned him the NBA defensive player of the year award and placed him on the NBA All-defensive team.  He made a comeback after undergoing a kidney transplant and later won his first NBA championship with the Heat.  On March 30, 2009, he became the first Miami Heat player to have his number retired.  This morning, “The Balancing Act” is honored to welcome Mr. Alonzo Mourning, better known as “Zo” to his fans.  Good to see you, Zo.

Mourning: Nice to see you, too, Danielle.

The Balancing Act: I’m calling you “Mister,” but we have a little bit of a relationship here. We have known each other for many years, and you know what, I’ve done Zo’s Summer Groove and we’ll talk about that in a minute, but I remember you asked me to introduce the comedians. I go out onstage and I’ve never been nervous, but I was so nervous, ’cause, you know, comedians will crack on you.

Mourning: Right, no doubt.

The Balancing Act: They will crack on you in a minute.

Mourning: Especially a woman.

The Balancing Act: Especially a woman.

Mourning: If you’re not bringing the right way, they’ll find something wrong.

The Balancing Act: But luckily, I did bring it, but I was very nervous.  Is there anything that makes Zo nervous, what makes you nervous?

Mourning: Well, now that I’m not playing basketball anymore, I’m retired from that, you know, the one thing that always made me nervous was injuries.

The Balancing Act: Ah!

Mourning: You know, because my body was my business, you know, and I wanted to do everything I could to keep my body as strong as possible so I could compete at the highest level.  So I was always afraid of just being injured, because I always wanted to be on the court to help my team and injuries kept me from doing that.

The Balancing Act: You know, our audience, they know about all your professional accomplishments on the court but they really don’t know a lot about what you do off the court in terms of giving back.  So I want to kind of talk a little bit about that side of Alonzo Mourning with our viewers.  In 1997, you established Alonzo Mourning Charities to aid in the development of children and families living in at-risk situations and since then have been able to raise more than, what is it, $7 million?

Mourning: A little over $7 million we raised.  You know, we’re all products of a community, all of us are, you know, and if it wasn’t for other individuals in our lives, we would—you would not be—I would not be in the position that I’m in today.  You know, so we’re here because of somebody else’s contributions, and I’ve been fortunate enough, you know, to have a relationship with an amazing woman, my wife, Tracy Mourning.  We were able to establish this foundation and we created this foundation, A.M. Charities, and our focus was to provide educational opportunities, you know, ’cause you know and I know—where would we be without knowledge? Where would we be without literacy skills?  You know, you can’t survive in this world without being able to communicate accordingly; that’s extremely important for us to plant those seeds in our children’s lives at an early age, so they can establish those educational habits so they can aspire to explore higher learning.  You know, and I try to stress that importance to all the young people that we assist in the whole process, through my wife’s foundation, the Honey Shine Mentoring Program, which helps mentor young girls, and inspire and enrich.

The Balancing Act: Tell me a little bit more about that—and I know that this is something that’s near and dear to both you and Tracy—and it’s a phenomenal organization because it really helps these young girls become women.  And I think that’s such an important thing, especially, Zo, in this day and age when you see all of these images on TV and all of these images out there, and to have this organization that’s kind of saying “You don’t have to zig, you can zag.”

Mourning: The Honey Shine Mentoring Program is just one component, one program under the umbrella of Alonzo Mourning Charities.  But the young women that benefit from my wife’s program, her workshops, and what have you—and for all the men that’s watching, you know, we wouldn’t be here without a woman in our lives, you know, a strong female presence in our lives, we would not be here, you know, without those female influences, you know.  So it’s important for us to continue to try to provide all we can, not just for our young people, for our young women that are dealing with so many challenging issues currently and especially in this day and time and with social networking and what have you.  You know, and just how women are being portrayed and what have you; so many good things need to be enforced in these young women’s lives, and that needs to be heard from other strong women.  So my wife has all these volunteers from all over the community, and I’m sure you’ve gone to a couple of workshops, as well.

The Balancing Act: Yes.

Mourning: Just being able to communicate to these young girls and provide all the information necessary for them to be successful and continue to take steps forward.

The Balancing Act: I know that your big initiative right now is “Sponsor a Student.”  I cannot tell you how amazing I think this is.  Tell our viewers about it.

Mourning: We have a program in the Overtown area—an area where about three thousand kids are in the school system in this area; two out of twelve graduate from high school in this area.  Our program, the Overtown Youth Center, was built by a local philanthropist by the name of Martin Margulies.  We’re at capacity with two hundred seventy-five kids, young girls and young boys.  We address all the needs and all the obstacles and address all the deficiencies that a child may have that might keep a child from just walking through the doors of a school and walking across that stage with a diploma in their hand.  In the eight years that we’ve been there, a hundred percent of our kids graduate from high school coming out of that program and a hundred percent of our kids go off to college.  We’re very pleased with the outcomes.

The Balancing Act: If you live in South Florida, there is one thing that we look forward to every year, which is Zo’s summer groove and it is a lot of fun, but again, it all centers on philanthropy.  There’s so much stuff going on, but you make it fun as well.  There are a lot of celebrities that come out.  I know you’ve got a lot of things for the kids.  Tell us, tell our viewers about it.  It’s a three-day event, right?

Mourning: The groove is a three day community event where we have a concert, a dinner, a golf tournament, workshops for the kids, a youth summit, things of that nature—you know, a community based event where everybody in the community has an opportunity to come out, support an event, a charity event.  And it has something for everybody in the family to enjoy and know that they’re giving back to our community and know that they’re helping young people, you know, because all the proceeds will go towards our efforts towards educating the kids at the Overtown Youth Center and at the Honey Shine Mentoring Program.  So this weekend allows the community to come out—a festive weekend—enjoy themselves, have a good time, and know that their efforts are going towards a great cause.

The Balancing Act: That’s amazing.  Alonzo Mourning, amazing philanthropist, amazing NBA player, amazing husband, and amazing father— thank you so much for hanging out with me and talking to me.  This has just been so enlightening and I’m just so proud of your wife’s efforts and your efforts and everything that you’re doing to help our children, really, such an important cause, pleasure to see you again.

Mourning: The pleasure’s all mine, thanks for having me.

Incredible Discoveries

The following segment aired on Incredible Discoveries on Lifetime Television. Joining the show was Lori Leeland to discuss The Hamilton Beach True Air Ultra UV Air Purifier

Incredible Discoveries on Lifetime Television:  Everyday dirt, dust, mold spores, and other allergens fill the air around us. On top of that, the air is filled with pollution from cars, factories, even aerosol cans. Incredible Discoveries shows you that air inside your home may be up to 5 times and can even be 100 times more polluted than the air outside. And 90% of our time is spent indoors.

In this segment, Incredible Discoveries shows you how to create a cleaner and happier home with the Hamilton Beach True Air Ultra UV Air Purifier. Seen on Incredible Discoveries, the advanced 2-staged filtration system and UV light, offers a 3-way air treatment. Air passes through a carbon pre-filter that absorbs odors, then through a HEPA filter effective at removing 99.97% of airborne particles down to .3 microns, and finally the air is treated by the UV germicidal light. Incredible Discoveries is amazed to find that this is the same technology used in hospitals to help kill microorganisms, viruses, and bacteria.

Designed with the airsmart system, the Hamilton Beach True Air Ultra UV Air Purifier monitors air in your home and continuously displays its quality level of “good”, “fair”, or “poor”. On the automatic setting, the fan adjusts automatically to maintain “good” air quality in your room. When you set it and turn it on, once the air in room has filtered itself out, and then it kicks down to the level that it’s supposed to stay at. Incredible Discoveries shows how the Hamilton Beach True Air Ultra UV Air Purifier is effective at removing a wide range of impurities from the air including pet dander, pollen, dust mite debris, mold spores, smoke and more. Incredible Discoveries urges: Don’t wait for clean air. Protect your family with the same technology hospitals use.

Now what is the airsmart system and this special UV germicidal light? Lori Leeland comes to Incredible Discoveries from Hamilton Beach Laboratory to help answer those questions.

Incredible Discoveries: So, tell us how it works!

Leeland: It couldn’t be any simpler. The Hamilton Beach True Air Ultra UV Air Purifier removes allergens and odors from the air in your home. The secret is in the design of the advanced three way air treatment system. The powerful yet quiet fan pulls air into the front vent first passing through the carbon pre-filter that helps to absorb and eliminate odors. Secondly, the air passes through the HEPA filter which is effective at removing 99.97% of airborne particles. This filter is composed of a mat of randomly arranged fibers, which trap particles as small as .3 microns.

Finally, the air passes through the UV germicidal light which helps to kill airborne microorganisms. This is the same technology used in hospitals. The airsmart system includes an infrared light sensor that continuously tests your air quality, and displays status from good, fair, to poor. On the auto setting, the airsmart system monitors your air quality and adjusts power automatically to help you maintain clean air.

We have built this special glass box here to demonstrate the true air ultra UV air purifier and all of its wonders. The filter is set to auto and it’s on the low power setting. Once smoke begins to fill the chamber you can see it working already. It’s swirling around and it’s sucking it in. The airsmart system responds so quickly and changes the power and addresses the poor air quality.

Incredible Discoveries: The Ultra UV Air Purifier is so effective at maintaining good air quality in this compartment. Think about what it can do in Incredible Discoveries viewers’ homes. It’s completely gone in seconds. Incredible Discoveries expresses that this demonstration is important because the HEPA filter in the Hamilton Beach True Air Ultra UV Air Purifier filters airborne irritants and allergens that you can and cannot see, trapping particles as small as .3 microns in size. Incredible Discoveries thinks that it’s amazing how the filter actually cleans the air in the room to make it seem brighter and cleaner.

Kummetz Corporation

Already known for its work with gold mining and construction projects in economically strapped nations, Kummetz Corporation is now taking on a new field: cement production. With cement in more demand than ever, Kummetz Corporation sees this as a great opportunity for countries needing an economic boost, and the Company is working hard to foster cement production in countries that can provide it.

A compound of lime, clay, sand, and shale, cement is generally manufactured in areas where resources are readily available, Kummetz Corporation management says. China is the largest producer of cement, with India coming in second. Kummetz Corporation seeks to work with countries that aren’t currently ranking at the top, as management sees it as a great opportunity for these countries.

As part of this process, the team at Kummetz Corporation will be assisting with the development of plants in new markets, as well as acquiring already existing plants. Searching for areas where lime, clay, sand, and shale are plentiful, Kummetz Corporation will utilize these plants to help foster current facilities being operated in these same countries.

With numerous construction projects in Brazil, Kummetz Corporation has an eye on this part of the world. Brazil ranked sixth in the list of countries where cement production was most prominent. Currently, cement production has become one of Brazil’s most prominent industries, Kummetz Corporation explains. The industry took a hit during the 80s while Brazil was in recession, but Kummetz Corporation says it has begun to hit a renewal period. At last count, 11 companies were responsible for cement production in Brazil, with 65 plants located across the country.

Brazil is one of many countries that could benefit from an increased ability to manufacture cement, Kummetz Corporation explains. The demand has only continued to increase, with India being the latest to announce that demand is on the rise, states a spokesperson from Kummetz Corporation.

According to Kummetz Corporation, the East African region is another area where demand for cement has increased, with consumption outweighing supply. By creating plants that can help supplement supply, East Africa will save money in importing cement from other areas, according to Kummetz Corporation. The spokesperson from Kummetz Corporation also points out that an economic opportunity exists for the Company to provide cement to other regions in need of it, increasing economic opportunities in the financially challenged country.

Dean Spasser

As recently as ten years ago, says St. Louis businessman Dean Spasser, starting a business required vast amounts of start-up capital—capital many aspiring entrepreneurs do not have today. Luckily, starting a business today can require very little cash, allowing more people than ever to turn their dreams into reality. St. Louis’s Dean Spasser frequently advises potential business owners on starting home-based businesses. Using today’s technology, he says that you can employ a variety of creative ideas and work from the comfort of your own house.

One method Dean Spasseradvises for starting a business is to buy an existing franchise. According to Dean Spasser, signing with an existing franchise gives you the security of working with an established business. You’ll have to give up a percentage of your profits but you’ll know you’re buying into a proven concept, Dean Spasser tells clients. The franchise owner has already done the legwork of establishing a name for the company, which Dean Spasser says allows you to focus on doing the work of gathering a customer base of your own.

Generally, companies offer two ways for franchise owners to buy in, Dean Spasser says. According to Dean Spasser, the first is a turnkey type of arrangement, where you use the company’s established business model and protocols to conduct daily operations. You will likely pay more for this type of arrangement, Dean Spasser warns, but for first-time business owners, this is an ideal arrangement. Dean Spasser says you’ll receive more assistance in exchange for paying more in royalties; a tradeoff you may feel is worth it, as a new business owner that lacks experience.

For more daring entrepreneurs, St. Louis resident Dean Spasser advises a more independent franchise arrangement. This allows you to rest on a company’s established name while having the independence of doing things your way, Dean Spasser says. You’ll still have to follow company procedures, but you’ll be on your own, for the most part. Dean Spasser warns that this can be good in some ways, but bad in others, especially for a “green” business owner.

Not all franchises are all-or-nothing, Dean Spasser says. According to St. Louis resident Dean Spasser, some franchises offer a la carte plans, where a franchisee pays a plan that fits his or her particular needs. This allows you to have assistance in those areas where you feel you’ll need it while still customizing your business to your own plans, Dean Spasser concludes.

About Dean Spasser

St. Louis entrepreneur Dean Spasser has dedicated the last two decades of his professional life to the serving people through a direct mail marketing business. In the early 1990s, Dean Spasser saw the need for a centralized hub of trustworthy home worker information. Spasser witnessed, and personally experienced, the frustration that hard working Americans were feeling in their quest for financial stability. Dean Spasser’s St. Louis, Missouri-based firm, American Publications, offered people a comprehensive list of reliable work from home opportunities. Dean Spasser’s company provided information about which corporations and small businesses were hiring remote workers and warned about which companies were nothing more than a scam.

Dean Spasser’s real estate background as a commercial leasing agent in St. Louis gave him valuable people and business experience. Dean Spasser spent ten years uniting shop owners seeking affordable retail space with malls looking to fill empty slots. Additionally, as a real estate professional, he helped St. Louis office buildings thrive by effectively marketing workspace to business owners. Dean Spasser soon saw he had a talent for successfully matching groups searching for each other, and set out to build his own home based business focused on bringing employers and workers together. Dean Spasser continues those efforts today.

Educationally, Dean Spasser earned a degree in Business Accounting from the University of Missouri – St. Louis. Spasser graduated in 1982 after working his way though college while finding time to actively participate in academic and other activities, including his fraternity. While Dean Spasser was a student in St. Louis, an interest in finance played alongside a desire to succeed by planting seeds that root this well-rounded businessman today. Spasser is grateful that he chose to pursue an accounting degree, as it helps him manage his business responsibly.

Living in St. Louis, Dean Spasser considers himself fortunate to be surrounded by a great music scene, as he is an accomplished guitar player. The Busch guitar studio in St. Louis is Dean Spasser’s favorite place for gathering with like-minded individuals, relaxing with a 6-string, and plucking off retro rock tunes and jazzy beats. Dean Spasser’s passion for fitness is another aspect in his life he takes pride in.  Working out and staying away from his weakness, potato chips, are two small choices he makes to keep his body healthy.

For mental well being, Dean Spasser is passionate about literature and performing arts. Sydney Sheldon’s novels and screenplays are among this St. Louis businessman’s favorite entertainment materials. Architecture is another interest of Dean Spasser; St. Louis has the Gateway Arch, a masterfully designed courthouse and a variety of eclectic structures sprinkled though the city and its surrounding suburbs. Dean Spasser is sometimes found at the Arch, thoughtfully reflecting on the sheer manpower and ingenious design implemented in its construction.

Dean Spasser is active in the St. Louis community, and donates his time and money to organizations like the Red Cross and Salvation Army – both of which have branches in St. Louis. Above all, Dean Spasser cherishes spending time with his daughter.

Gregory Leb

One of the highlights of Gregory Leb’s career was the moment when he was sent to Atlanta to make a delivery to Evander Holyfield. Few people have the privilege of meeting the former World Undisputed Champion in boxing. It was especially meaningful to Gregory Leb, who has been boxing since he was ten.

Perhaps it was because his stepdad was a boxer in the Navy, but Gregory Leb began boxing at age ten. Gregory Leb got his boxing start with the police athletic league in Jacksonville, progressing to State Finals by the time he was fifteen. At that age, Gregory Leb was a super middle weight. Twenty-nine years later, Gregory Leb is still boxing as an active member of Bull Dog Boxing in Jacksonville.

Among his heroes is Manny Pacquiao, a boxer who is also a member of the House of Representatives in Congress. The first eight-division world champion, Pacquiao is often ranked among the best boxers in the world. Currently the WBO Welterweight Champion, a title he recently defended against Shane Mosley. Pacquiao won that championship.

Gregory Leb also considers Mohammad Ali his hero. Known the world over for his controversial personal behavior, Mohammad is considered by many to be among the best boxers of all time. Using the personal mantra “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” for his fighting style, Ali was named Sports Illustrated’s “Sportsman of the Century” in 1999.

Roy Jones Jr. is the youngest of Gregory Leb’s boxing heroes. Born in 1969, Jones set a record by being the first boxer to hold seven belts at the same time. Those included belts from the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association. The Boxing Writers Association of America named him “Fighter of the Decade” in the 90s.

While Gregory Leb admires the boxing styles of these champion fighters, there are many other reasons for these men to be heroes. A successful businessman, Gregory Leb has used their principles to build a long and lasting career.
