    Published March 02, 2011

    In the world of business,it doesn't matter how good your idea or product is. If you can't seal the deal or sell the concept, you lose. In other words, if you can't tell it, you can't sell it. HOW do you do that? HOW do you find the key to being a dynamic story-teller who can communicate why people should buy you, your idea, your product? Thankfully, Peter Guber is alive and well and ready to teach you how. The Hollywood movie mogul/sports business giant happens to be one of the most generous people I know...

  • FoxBiz Exclusive w/ Noble Energy CEO: Let the Drilling Begin... Again.

    Published March 01, 2011

    Chuck Davidson has been waiting since June to do what his company does in the Gulf of Mexico: drill. And now, he and his company can. Noble Energy [NBL] is the first deepwater driller to get a permit approved since the disastrous BP spill. Noble got the word yesterday after the bell that it was the first to prove it can comply with new safety regulations put into place since the disaster.

  • GaGa Over Estee Lauder Stock

    Published February 18, 2011

    Since singer Lady Gaga signed on as a spokesperson for Estee Lauder company MAC's AIDS charity just one year ago, the stock has jumped 57%. One little $14.00 lipstick where 100 cents on the dollar go to MAC's AIDS charity was enough to create a halo effect for the rest of the company's products, according to John Demsey,EL's head of North American business. EL has many names on its masthead, from Origins to Clinique to Tom Ford Beauty. But MAC has been a huge driver when it comes to customer attention, especially when you puticons like Cher, Elton Joh

  • Cutting the Fat While Counting the Beans: FBN EXCLUSIVE

    Published February 18, 2011

    Did you see Weight Watchers [WTW] stock yesterday? It soared more than 40% after the company reported strong quarterly earnings including revenues jumping 15% but MY GOODNESS, a 44% gain? Lots of companies have that kind of quarter lately. Perhaps it's what's on the horizon that thrilled investors so much. Weight Watchers is expanding overseas and doing well with its new U.K. "Pro Points" plan. OR... it's one American Idol and former heavier weight singer who really did the trick.

  • Alcoa CEO to FoxBiz: The Economy and the Auto Industry are 'Totally Coming Back'

    Klaus Kleinfeld would know. The auto industry needs what his company makes. So do aerospace companies... and skyscraper builders. Alcoa, [AA] Aluminum Company of America, has been around since 1888, when aluminum was considered one of the rarest of metals and ran for about $545 a pound.

  • Working 12 Years For This Moment

    Published February 14, 2011

    We shouldn't take companies like Medtronic [MDT] for granted. When they work 12 years straight to develop medical device that will only improve our lives, that's impressive. Today, in a Fox Business Exclusive, Medtronic Chairman and CEO William Hawkins held up a tiny device called the "Revo." It's an MRI-safe pacemaker. 5 million Americans have pacemakersbut because of the potential for MRI's magnetic fields to interfere withthe pacemaker's operation,many patientscannot get an MRI, even if they need it. The Medtronic gang set about more

  • Car Czar to FoxBiz: "Oil At These Levels Won't Spur Electric Car Sales"

    Published February 02, 2011

    Steven Rattner stopped by the Fox Business studios to talk about January auto sales and he started with a declaration that I, as a taxpayer who helped bail out General Motors and Chrysler, was happy to hear: the U.S. auto industry looks pretty good these days. Rattner was tapped in '08 by President Obama to restructure a disastrous industry. Look, before the crisis, you didn't have to look that hard to see that the auto industry with its union and healthcare legacy costs looked like that fake elephant they have stuck in the La Brea Tar Pits for L.A.

  • Favorite Books, Most Admired leaders. The World According to My Davos Interviewees

    Published February 01, 2011

    I did something different this year at Davos. After nearly all my 35+ interviews I conducted over 3 days at the World Economic Forum this year, I asked just about every CEO, each leader, to name one of their favorite books along with the world or business leader whom they admire the very most. I personally admire each of these intervieweesfor various reasons. I think we can all learn something from them, and I thought this might be a good beginning. Check out the list.

    Published January 28, 2011

    What started just months ago as a pretty tough fight has turned into a working relationship. Normally this wouldn't get a lot of attention in the business world, except that this time it involves the President of the United States. Tom Donohue, President and CEO of the U.S.

  • U.S. CEO on FBN in Davos Wins French Legion of Honor Award

    Published January 28, 2011

    Rick Goings, CEO of Tupperware, was just awarded---and this is very rare--- the French Legion of Honor award. No, he didn't win it for selling millions of Tupperware dishes that burp when you pop the top. He won it for his work helping to promote women in developing countries. Rick is one of the good guys out there. He shows up to every event-- be it our live location in Davos or on a stage in Turkey-- with his amazing, gorgeous wife Susan, and he always credits her when he talks about fighting for women's rights.
