George Foreman is someone that most people think of as a "lucky" guy. He made it as a boxer, and spent it all, then he made it again as a boxer and spent it all. By his own admission he never liked boxing, he liked helping people. George Foreman was also a minister, and it was during his time as a minister that he spent his boxing fortunes.
When George was approached with the Lean Mean Grilling Machine, he took that to the mat. It is an excellent lesson in rebuilding for both people and business. If you missed the CNBC Bizography special there are some clips here worth watching if you are thinking of starting a business or own a business.
Georges wife frequented the store where my wife worked in Kingwood, Texas. George and his family were just on the other side of Lake Houston, and used to live just blocks from my home when I lived in Kingwood Texas. The Foreman family are such a quiet, generous and humble family, you wouldn't know who they were if you didn't already know them. Even as a former neighbor of Mr. Foreman with many friends in common, this CNBC show was very enlightening. We can all learn something from it.
It isn't often you'll here me say, "Great Show CNBC."
