Lorenjewels is a great example of entrepreneurialism. Just three months ago, my wife, Loren Ridinger, inspired by Hollywood glamour, created a jewelry collection for the everyday fashion-forward modern woman that can be worn during the daytime or at night.  The opportunity really happened by accident though -- we happened to be out with our good friend, Jennifer Lopez, and got on the topic of jewelry.  Just a little over 3 months later,  Loren Jewels was born and has since been featured throughout a number of major national publications. It has even been worn by a number of Hollywood celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria Parker, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Jaime Presley and Marc Anthony among others. In fact, Loren Jewels has also graced the following publications -- InStyle Magazine, US Weekly Magazine, Miami Magazine, Life & Style Magazine, most recent in People en Espanol magazine.

Check out this great video from the People en Espanol photo shoot -- where everyone on the cover is wearing Loren Jewels!

I want to congratulate Alejandro Sanz & Alicia Keys for winning the 21st annual Latin Billboard Song Vocal Collaboration of the Year! Alejandro Sanz and Alicia Keys both one of my best friends and one of the most talented singers/song writers I know. This was a well deserved award that Loren and I were proud to be part of...

This song is so important to me I wanted to share the making of this magical moment not to mention Alejandro Sanz performed during our 2010 MA World Conference Miami.

The genesis of 'Looking for Paradise' occured on our yacht, Utopia III.  One night, two summers ago, Alejandro Sanz, one of the greatest musicians and poets of our tiume and Alicia Keys, who is the greatest vocalist of today, and songwriter, beat-maker, and incredible music producer, Swizz Beatz all serendipitously came together.   They started singing a song about utopia and then came this idea about paradise.  After that evening, Alejandro spent time working on songs for his upcoming album and then asked Loren for her help in getting Alicia to collaborate for a recording.

The message to the song 'Looking for Paradise' is universal.  The song embodies the message of Market America.  Who isn't looking for paradise?  Poeple spend their lives running around, always searching for a way to get by, a way to make "it" happen.  We are all searching for something that is good and pure, something that makes sense in our personal journey.   Market America is an unstoppable engine that provides an opportunity for people to create their own paradise.  Market America is creating a global utopia - the more you help other people succeed, the more successful you are - it's mutual success.  I don't know of another business model in the world that operates like that.

Entrepreneurs come from many fields of endeavor and in many forms. Alicia Keys is a personal friend and an amazing artist, but she is also a brilliant entrepreneur, marketer and humanitarian. Her work ethic is relentless and she enjoys the journey. She and Swizz Beatz both love Market America and we brainstorm together all the time. As I have said before, it is important to keep positive, forward-looking geniuses around you.
