Stay Hungry - Stay Foolish!
I’m excited to see who it is. I love to learn from other people.
My guess is … Oprah
Because you love her show and cry all the time. Plus she (and/or the people who work for her) have built a business empire.
Jason
Ummm…sorry Mr Marshall - although I’m going to be profiling Oprah very soon, she’s not “the One” I’ll be profiling on Monday.
Thanks for chiming in!
I am guessing maybe Frank Kern. It was a toss up between him or John Reece.
Although those guys rock - I’m talking about “Famous Entrepreneurs.” Folks that have some “celebrity” and are more mainstream.
But if it was for Internet Marketers - frank & john would DEF be up there.
I’ll give ya another guess!
Gotcha, Gotcha…
Well then my guess is Martha Stewart.
She’s the bomb, seriously who doesn’t love Martha?
Even after the whole jailing thing she’s still on top of her game.
There’s lots to learn from someone who went against the grain and didn’t put her eggs all in one basket and became the the go to person in ALL aspects of the home.
Even thought Martha is a “gangsta” in my eyes now, its not here. Definitely going to be profiling her though.
Her commercial with Usher rocks!
Hi Alejandro,
“What’s up mang?”
You’ve got us in suspense.
Congrats on baby Sadie and hope you guys had a nice weekend.
Doug
what up brotha!
what’s your guess doug?
What about Don King, a little old school I know but one of the leaders in marketing from early on encluding how to adapt
good guess! i should definitely profile him huh?
but not Don King!
Last try, Donald Trump. Too obvious right? By the way loved your show tonight very intresting about twitter and the rest of the social media.
I think it’s going to be Simon Leung?? Right or wrong?
It’s not Simon. It’s a “famous” entrepreneur.
Someone that has some celebrity.
Hmm…is it Robert Kiyosaki or Jack Canfield or Mark Victor Hansen? Do I only get one guess :S.. But u said with some ‘celebrity’ so maybe Simon Cowell.
Not those guys Seema - great conversation last night!
yep, I reckon it’s gotta be JAy-Z.
He’s the top entrepreneur of the rap game, being the first rapper to hold off til it was agreed that he could keep the rights to his masters.
that’s a big thing in the music industry - unheard of. he’s then gone on to raise artists such as Rihanna.
how’s fatherhood treating you?
Tony good guess cause Jay Z is on the list - but it’s not him!
Hey Alejandro. How’s it going?
Great idea you have here, I can’t wait check out your profiles!
Ok so here is my guess. Is it Mark Cuban?
John
this is probably the CLOSEST guess so far!
Not sure if you mind if I guess again. If you don’t then how about Richard Branson?
John
Is it 50 Cent? He has a great business mind. Ive been watching his videos and he talkes about the business side of things.
Nah man - but he’s definitely a great business man!!
Is it 50 Cent? Ive been watching his videos on ustream.tv.
he’s on Ustream? LIVE?
Ok, how about Richard Branson?
Hmmm… maybe not, he has acting credits. Who knew? He was:
-”Man at Airport Security” in Casino Royale
-”Shuttle Engineer” in Superman REturns
-”Balloon Man” in Around the World in 80 Days
and was even on an episode of Friends.
Where does he find the time?
I’ll keep thinking…
Well Richard is at the TOP of the list that’s for sure - but he would be too easy.
He has ALL the time in the world. C’mon girl if you had that much money - you know you’d be in movies too! More branding I guess…LOL
Here’s my second guess:
Michael Dell
Not Mr. Dell even though I’ve used him for many man years until I switched to Mac a couples years ago.
Steve Jobs
Mark Zuckerberg
Matt Mullenweg
Ha! I’ll still be wrong.
Maybe….Ted Turner?
Or, how about one more guess…Wayne Huizenga?
Why do you think it’s wayne & ted?
Because they both have had outstanding entrepreneurial careers across a wide spectrum of business, entertainment, sports & philanthropy. They have conquered adversity, and been innovators and trend-setters in their industries, And they’ve have had the success mindset that’s needed to excel. That’s pretty general & I could go on and on with specifics, but that’s what you’re gonna do!
Oh, and they’re both about as much of a match to Mark Cuban as I could think of!
Am I close?
Not sure how many guesses were allowed but what about.
Bill Gates for all of the obvious reasons, including charity work and giving back to the community.
Or Sergey Bin and Larry Page the cofounders of Google?
How many guesses are we allowed?
Great idea with your website! I would have to guess Mr. Bill Gates ,just because he is one of the ALL TIME greatest entreprenuers,(along with Ryan Blair). Can’t wait to see baby Sadie!
Mr. Blair is DEFINITELY on the list! Not him though.
Bill gates is top 10 though for sure!
Super Mang!
Nah man - it’s not me…LOL hahaha
Thanks for stopping by!
Chris Brisson is the man y’all!!! Great Marketer & Great Friend!
How about Seth Godin….I would consider Seth a famous Entrepreneur. If not Seth I say Jason Marshall!
great guess Ken & thanks for stopping by to the blog!
it’s not Seth. are you following me on twitter? i’m putting clues on there…
is it Charles Schwab?
Nope - didn’t you run out of guesses Josh? LOL
Hey Alejandro!,
Yes I am all Twittered up with ya!
Here is another good guess…How about Joe Francis!!!:) Not a business I would have started, but very successfool none the less.
Definitely not Joe Francis. Good guess though Ken.
I think it might be Mr. Fire- Joe Vitale
Its DAvid Dutton!
Okay….this will probably be my last guess as I need to quit thinking about who this famous entrepreneur is!!!
WHO IS……. Tony Little
“YOU CAN DO IT!!!”
is it pat o’bryan?
Gary Vaynerchuk
Gary Vaynerchuk becasue he is a pioneer in Social Marketing and is an avid Twitter user and great entrepreneur
Jim Balsillie, Blackberry Thunder creator
Why? because Blackberry revolutionized the way entrepreneurs do mobile business.
Good Answer!!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger because he’s, created himself as a business - started with zip and has succeeeded at everything he’s put a hand to
Great guess Steve but he’s gonna be profiled later.
Will i get in trouble if I profile politicians though?
I’ll just profile the Actor not the Politician.
I think its Armando Montelongo from “Flip This House.”
If not, a few other guesses:
The Naked Cowboy
@Garyvee - Gary Vaynerchuk
MC Hammer
Zappos CEO
Suze Orman
GoDaddy CEO - Bob Parsons
OK I think I’m all guessed out for today.
