    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!

  2. John Guanzon May 12, 2008 at 11:15 pm #

    I am guessing maybe Frank Kern. It was a toss up between him or John Reece.

    • Alejandro Reyes May 12, 2008 at 11:17 pm #

      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!

  3. John Guanzon May 12, 2008 at 11:27 pm #

    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.

    • Alejandro Reyes May 12, 2008 at 11:36 pm #

      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!

  4. Doug Barger May 13, 2008 at 5:10 am #

    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

  5. Alekia Dobson May 13, 2008 at 5:18 am #

    What about Don King, a little old school I know but one of the leaders in marketing from early on encluding how to adapt

    • Alejandro Reyes May 13, 2008 at 5:25 am #

      good guess! i should definitely profile him huh?

      but not Don King!

  6. Alekia Dobson May 13, 2008 at 5:37 am #

    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.

  7. cheryl May 13, 2008 at 5:42 am #

    I think it’s going to be Simon Leung?? Right or wrong?

    • Alejandro Reyes May 13, 2008 at 5:47 am #

      It’s not Simon. It’s a “famous” entrepreneur.

      Someone that has some celebrity.

  8. Seema May 13, 2008 at 6:11 am #

    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.

    • Alejandro May 13, 2008 at 5:36 pm #

      Not those guys Seema – great conversation last night!

  9. Tony Smith May 13, 2008 at 7:18 am #

    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?

    • Alejandro Reyes May 13, 2008 at 5:37 pm #

      Tony good guess cause Jay Z is on the list – but it’s not him!

  10. John Warda May 13, 2008 at 6:03 pm #

    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

  11. John Warda May 13, 2008 at 6:23 pm #

    Not sure if you mind if I guess again. If you don’t then how about Richard Branson?

    John

  12. Joshwhite May 13, 2008 at 6:27 pm #

    Is it 50 Cent? He has a great business mind. Ive been watching his videos and he talkes about the business side of things.

    • Alejandro Reyes May 13, 2008 at 6:53 pm #

      Nah man – but he’s definitely a great business man!!

  13. Joshwhite May 13, 2008 at 6:30 pm #

    Is it 50 Cent? Ive been watching his videos on ustream.tv.

  14. Donna Fox May 13, 2008 at 6:45 pm #

    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…

    • Alejandro Reyes May 13, 2008 at 6:55 pm #

      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

  15. Donna Fox May 13, 2008 at 6:48 pm #

    Here’s my second guess:
    Michael Dell

  16. Alejandro Reyes May 13, 2008 at 6:56 pm #

    Not Mr. Dell even though I’ve used him for many man years until I switched to Mac a couples years ago.

  17. David Wilkinson May 13, 2008 at 7:14 pm #

    Steve Jobs
    Mark Zuckerberg
    Matt Mullenweg

    Ha! I’ll still be wrong. ;)

  18. Dave Webb May 14, 2008 at 12:07 am #

    Maybe….Ted Turner?

    • Dave Webb May 14, 2008 at 12:15 am #

      Or, how about one more guess…Wayne Huizenga?

  19. Alejandro Reyes May 14, 2008 at 12:25 am #

    Why do you think it’s wayne & ted?

    • Dave Webb May 14, 2008 at 1:47 am #

      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?

  20. alekia May 14, 2008 at 4:12 am #

    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?

  21. DENISE May 14, 2008 at 6:24 am #

    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!

    • Alejandro Reyes May 14, 2008 at 8:54 am #

      Mr. Blair is DEFINITELY on the list! Not him though.

      Bill gates is top 10 though for sure!

  22. Chris Brisson May 14, 2008 at 6:35 pm #

    Super Mang!

    • Alejandro Reyes May 14, 2008 at 6:38 pm #

      Nah man – it’s not me…LOL hahaha

      Thanks for stopping by!

      Chris Brisson is the man y’all!!! Great Marketer & Great Friend!

  23. Ken Eller May 14, 2008 at 7:10 pm #

    How about Seth Godin….I would consider Seth a famous Entrepreneur. If not Seth I say Jason Marshall! ;)

    • Alejandro Reyes May 14, 2008 at 7:49 pm #

      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…

  24. Joshwhite May 15, 2008 at 5:55 pm #

  25. Ken Eller May 15, 2008 at 6:01 pm #

    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.

  26. Alejandro Reyes May 15, 2008 at 6:06 pm #

    Definitely not Joe Francis. Good guess though Ken.

  27. Dr. Wright May 15, 2008 at 6:59 pm #

    I think it might be Mr. Fire- Joe Vitale

  28. Dr. Wright May 15, 2008 at 7:15 pm #

    Its DAvid Dutton!

  29. Ken May 16, 2008 at 3:12 pm #

    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!!!”

  30. Joshwhite May 16, 2008 at 5:27 pm #

    is it pat o’bryan?

  31. Ken May 16, 2008 at 7:22 pm #

    Gary Vaynerchuk

  32. Ken May 16, 2008 at 7:24 pm #

    Gary Vaynerchuk becasue he is a pioneer in Social Marketing and is an avid Twitter user and great entrepreneur

  33. Donna Fox May 16, 2008 at 7:37 pm #

    Jim Balsillie, Blackberry Thunder creator

    Why? because Blackberry revolutionized the way entrepreneurs do mobile business.

    • Ken May 16, 2008 at 7:45 pm #

      Good Answer!!!

  34. Steve Brown May 16, 2008 at 9:17 pm #

    Arnold Schwarzenegger because he’s, created himself as a business – started with zip and has succeeeded at everything he’s put a hand to

    • Alejandro Reyes May 17, 2008 at 5:37 am #

      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.

  35. Lisa Weinberger May 17, 2008 at 1:44 am #

    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. :)
