He was a very nice and I am glad I got to know him.  He has been in the infomercial business for 25 years and had had over $4 billion in revenues from his infomercial!  He is looking for more products he can bring to market, so if you think you have a product that would be worthy on mass marketing on TV check out his site at www.TVGoods.com and tell him Greg Writer sent me!

I was not aware that in 1987, Kevin and a group of young entrepreneurs including Michael Dell, of Dell Computers, and Ted Leonsis, of AOL, teamed up to create the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, or EO (formerly known as the Young Entrepreneurs’ Organization), and today it has grown to over 7,000 members worldwide, with 113 chapters in 38 countries with more than 924,000 members. The EO is recognized as a catalyst that enables entrepreneurs to learn and grow from each other, leading to greater business success and an enriched personal life.

So there's proof he has been an entrepreneur advocate for decades!  Thanks Kevin, we appreciate your efforts!

Here's his bio for your review.

Kevin Harrington, CEO of TVGoods.com, LLC, is widely acknowledged as the pioneer and principal architect of the “infomercial” industry. Since producing the industry’s first infomercial in the 1980s, Harrington has financed more than 500 product launches resulting in sales of more than $4 billion worldwide with 20 products reaching individual sales of over $100 million each, and creating dozens of millionaires.

Harrington got his start in direct TV marketing with his company Quantum International, which after merging with National Media in 1991 grew to over $500 Million in annual sales with distribution in over 100 countries in 20 languages. Harrington was the pioneer responsible for setting up international infrastructure worldwide which lays the groundwork for today’s infomercial industry. He had offices in: London, Tokyo, Sao Paolo, Brazil, and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

After leaving Quantum, Harrington had several other successful infomercial ventures including HSN Direct with Home Shopping Network before founding TVGoods in 2005.

He subsequently raised more than $20 million in capital from a New York hedge fund in a venture, which then acquired Tampa’s premiere film studio where TVGoods is headquartered. The studio is located in Clearwater, Florida, featuring a 33,000 square state of the art production studio on 5.4 acres.

Regarded as a tireless entrepreneur with a talent for identifying blockbuster products, Harrington’s business was a case study that was chronicled and taught for over 12 years at Harvard/MIT, called “The Rise, The Fall and The rise of Quantum International.” The case study is used as a teaching guide about what it means to be a grass-roots entrepreneur in a fiercely competitive industry.

In his latest venture, Harrington is an investor on a new ABC show called “Shark Tank”, in which budding entrepreneurs compete in pitching their potentially moneymaking ideas to business experts in hopes of securing investment financing. The show is owned by SONY Pictures and produced by Mark Burnett.

Harrington is uniquely qualified as an investor/shark because of his involvement over his career in a wide range of industries. As a young entrepreneur at the age of 19, Harrington launched and operated a successful company that reached $1 million in annual sales and employed 25 people, all while still in college. In 1979, he started Franchise America, a franchise consulting and brokerage business, through which he sold thousands of businesses, giving him insight to the inner workings of dozens of industries; from restaurants to retail to small manufacturing, etc.

Harrington’s book, ACT NOW!, explains how he innovatively turns ideas into million-dollar products. It is available through Amazon and at bookstores nationwide. Examples of popular products available through TVGoods.com currently are: Tony Little fitness, George Foreman cleaning, Jay “the Juice Daddy” Kordich Health, Flying Lure fishing, Wolfman Jack music, and the Dual Saw, marketed by the late legendary pitchman Billy Mays. One TVGoods.com product, the Air-Cutter, a precision vacuum haircutting system, will be featured in the upcoming film Father of Invention starring Kevin Spacey.

Harrington is proud to have founded two of the most important global networking associations in the marketplace, the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and the Electronic Retailing Association (ERA).

It's frickin amazing!

When I found out she was going to be on Shark Tank I asked her if she got funded but she couldn’t reveal what happened!

I hope to get an interview with her soon!

Here’s a video of her making the announcement about this exciting development for her company.

Here’s her story as copied from her website http://www.ExpressEfffects.com.

At age 23, April Morris was a single mother with no business experience, but an innovative idea and a dream. Behind her unassuming beauty and down-to-earth nature is a story of struggle and prosperity that led her to become an award-winning sales leader, award-winning innovator and inspiring speaker.  

In 1995, I arrived in Indianapolis, Indiana to start a brand new life for me and my kids (ages 5 & 6 yrs old at the time). I had no car, no furniture, no education and no money. I had worked as a makeup artist at a cosmetic counter in Albany, GA. earning $6.85 per hour. I arranged to continue working for the same cosmetic company when I arrived in Indianapolis and was quickly promoted to management. Making women feel beautiful was my passion. However, it seemed there was never enough money at the end of the month for my family. My optimistic nature and faith pulled me through some really tough times. Desperate to find relief, I began reading motivational books for inspiration and I felt a fire ignite inside me. I knew I was destined for something greater. But what and when?

Divine inspiration is how I describe what happened next. In December 2002, I got an innovative idea after attending a Christmas party. This is what happened. The host of the party shared with me that two ladies (I had met at the party) referred to me as “chubby”. At first I was angry but that quickly turned to disappointment because I remembered getting ready that night and my clothes were fitting too tight. I immediately began taking diet pills.

 The side effects seemed to make me too jiggery so I stopped taking them. Sometime later I was driving in my car and while sitting at a red light, I began to reapply my lip gloss in the rear view mirror. That’s when the idea came to me… I wondered if there was a smell or herb that could be put in lip gloss that might help curb appetite. I became obsessed with doing research to find out how to develop my idea which would later be called THINgloss™ I had a BIG DREAM but no money to get started. How was I going to fund my idea?

My big break came when I began selling real estate. In 2006, I sold 9 million in real estate and won “Sales Person of the Year”! I had a six figure income; built my dream home, got my Mercedes and I could FINALLY pay my bills! It all came to a screeching halt in June 2006 when a near death family tragedy served as my wakeup call. I said goodbye to my old life and decided to DREAM BIG! I invested all my savings and launched THINgloss™ by Express Effects Cosmetics in March 2008.

My purpose is very clear to me. It is to serve others. I believe all women deserve to look and feel beautiful. I believe we are all born with a genius (unique gifts and talents). I believe in joining together in a spirit of collaboration so we can all succeed. This is my passion. It is an honor and privilege to serve you.

Currently, THINgloss™ is sold in 60+ stores in the US and Tokyo, Japan and won the prestigious award for “BEST INNOVATION”. Additionally, April Morris has been featured on FOX, NBC, Los Angeles Times, Indianapolis Star and many others. April was recognized as the 2008 “Starkey Entrepreneurial Woman of the Year” nominee and is currently on a national tour with Wow Women Expos to share her inspiring story and promote THINgloss™.
