Meanwhile, learn a little about Steve…

About Lou Ferrigno…

More incredible, at age 22 he won again, and to this day remains the only person to win consecutive titles! Lou carried the world of bodybuilding to new heights and himself to superstardom with the film documentary, Pumping Iron. Lou is best known as the title character of the hit show The Incredible Hulk.
Bernie Madoff was sentenced yesterday to 150 years for his Ponzi Scheme. Below is more about Madoff’s sentencing and victim Matt Weinstein pushes back with presentation: What Bernie Madoff Couldn’t Steal from me. (Listen to our podcast with Matt Weinstein)
Here’s an Excerpt from the New York Times…
A criminal saga that began in December with a string of superlatives — the largest, longest and most widespread Ponzi scheme in history — ended the same way on Monday as Bernard L. Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison, the maximum for his crimes. Read the full New York Times article here.
Matt Weinstein has recently created a speaking presentation titled: What Bernie Madoff Couldn’t Steal from Me. It’s powerful and uplifting. Watch his video below.
In addition, Eagles Talent Speakers Bureau caught up with Matt Weinstein a few months ago for an interview to talk to him about the Madoff scheme. Listen to that Podcast interview here!

Lou Ferrigno, the star of the 1970s TV hit series The Hulk, was featured on Good Morning America (see below) and on Anderson Cooper’s 360 (CNN). He was there to talk about his long-time friendship and working relationship with the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, as his personal trainer. Michael Jackson passed away last week of cardiac arrest. Lou Ferrigno claims there was nothing alarming about his physical condition nor does he believe there was any foul play. According to Lou, he hadn’t seen Michael in the last few weeks as he has been busy doing conferences and appearances.

Alan Bean was an astronaut who had the best view of the earth…from the moon. Now Alan is able to relive those years in space and on the moon through his paintings.
In July, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington will mount a show of 45 of his works and will release a book of reproductions of his paintings.
“It has been nearly 40 years since Alan L. Bean walked on the moon as an Apollo astronaut, but he still wrestles with the experience every day, trying to recapture what he and other astronauts saw and felt in the medium of paint.”
“Becoming a painter has been a long slog for Mr. Bean, who describes himself as a slow learner. He has had to give up the hyper-rational way of seeing the world he had learned as a Navy test pilot and engineer. He has trained himself to see things not as they are but as they feel to him, to translate emotions into colors and to resist his scientific urges.” Read the whole article here.

Keith Harrell, the “Attitude Ambassador”, is without question one of the most phenomenal, dynamic and all around best speaker you will ever hear!

His presentation is full of personal stories, audience participation, and references to our need to ‘choose’ how we will live, how successful we will be.

One of the most challenging and fun parts of this business is coming up with an act that will live up to the standards of last year’s smash hits.
MBE BEATLES TRIBUTE: Long Live the Beatles performed last year for a credit group in Maine. The show exceeded all expectations (“A splendid time was had by all”). This year the same group is considering flipping the switch and bringing another type of entertainment, as well as other musical acts. In the mix is Bob Higa one of the greatest magic acts in the country. Without any hesitation we can recommend Bob and know that he will put a thrilling show onstage and charm everyone offstage as well.
Bob did an extended road show for us with Bell South and on multiples dates garnered such praise as, “Amazing, Truly a Professional, Courteous, His Audience Involvement is Super, a Memorable Experience…” and on.
That’s really what a great act can do, create a memorable experience that is special. When companies or associations invest the time and effort to go away to an event, what they bring back is not at all intangible. It’s very real. When done well, it permeates their attitude and performance throughout the coming year. When I have a chance to get Bob Higa before a crowd of meeting attendees, I can rest assured that we’re sending out the best. Bob Higa will come back with more accolades, but what’s more important is that the attendees will come back knowing that they were appreciated, that what they do day-in and day-out deserves merit and makes a difference. Bob Higa does all that with a style and a smile that is my pleasure to recommend.
For more information on how Eagles Talent Connection can help you book Bob Higa, give us a call at 1-800-345-5607 or email us at info@EaglesTalent.com.
