NEXT TO BLOW

Not to far from Chicago Illinois, just across the Wisconsin border in a small town of Racine Wisconsin I stumbled upon the next big thing. His name is Nashon and he is yet only 17 years of age. While preparing for some upcoming promotion I was put in tune with this young extraordinaire. I walked into the room and seated were a small group of his friends and family around a radio as if it were a karaoke cafe. He began to sing and I was astonished at his vocal presence. He regaled us with some of today's hits by the likes of Chris Brown and a few selections by Trey Songs such as "Better Than Love" his present chart topper. I later found that he even writes his own music. In one word the kid is AMAZING, so much so that i decided to see exactly how far did his talents lie. This is what I found.-Humble Magazine

ABC Shark Tank's EZ VIP CEO Al Nelson



Sometimes for a small fish to survive you have to swim with the Shark's. No one knows this better than Alashe Nelson. Al Nelson grew up in a neighborhood in Southwest Miami where he attended Southridge Highschool. He then began to venture into the world of entertainment. While managing an artist that eventually signed a recording deal with Cool N Dre he had an amazing idea, "What if I could reserve my night on the town in the hottest clubs in Miami before ever stepping foot out of the house?". Al had struck entrepreneurial gold. Not long after EZ VIP was born. EZ VIP is a web based business that allows you to pay for and reserve VIP tables as well as bottle service at a locked in rate at some of the most happening nightclubs in the country. He then set to work, with due diligence he began to grow his venture to net him a substantial sum of money in his first few years in business all before appearing on ABC's Shark Tank. This eventually led him to ink a deal with Mark Cuban, Daymond John, and later Miami's own Pitbull to serve as figurehead.  Beginning in nightlife and eventually expanding into other notable experiences such as the ESPY's, they have since moved into markets in Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angeles along with making strategic partnerships with companies such as IC Places a multimedia entertainment company. Humble Magazine was fortunate to catch up with him at the Black Enterprise Entrepreneur's Conference 2012 at the Chicago Hilton.-Humble Magazine

A DREAM ENACTED IS THE REALIZATION OF SELF

Most if not all of us have at one point or another had a dream. A dream is not hoping. A dream is not wishing. A dream is the manifestation of an idea in its purest form begging to be compelled into reality. To render a dream ineffective all one would have to do is remain complacent. A true dream will never die for it will forever ravage the subconscious mind with disconcerting vigor until actualized. Once actualized the intent of the dream will further become apparent in that it was indeed not an intangible figment yet still a portion of ones true being. To let a dream become stagnant is the truest form of self neglect. Dreams are to be fostered, nurtured, beheld, and gazed upon with the greatest sense of repletion as this is the will of the soul. - Humble Magazine
