| who invented the george foreman grill: Inventors at Work Brett Stern, 2012-12-03 Inventors at Work: The Minds and Motivation Behind Modern Inventions is a collection of interviews with inventors of famous products, innovations, and technologies that have made life easier or even changed the way we live. All of these scientists, engineers, wild-eyed geniuses, and amateur technologists have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of that singular Eureka! moment in their laboratories or garages. Each has altered the modern world as we know it in some significant way. The conversations will show budding tinkerers, professional inventors, educators, and onlookers how the top minds in the field come up with ideas and manage the first steps of inspiration, how they experiment productively, how they “sell” ideas to others and secure funding, how they execute the final product, and how they commercialize and protect their work. All inventors will learn from these conversations, whether they are exploring new chemical compounds in million-dollar labs or perfecting a household gadget or toy in a basement workshop. Author Brett Stern, an inventor himself, explores with each inventor the nature of creativity and intuition, the skill set needed, and the force, motivation, or desire that must be summoned to spend endless hours searching for an answer to a question that no one else has asked or solving a problem most think has no solution. The book is required reading for all technical and creative individuals to better understand the innovation process and the logistics of following through on an idea that has the potential to change society. This book offers: Interviews with inventors of world-changing products and technologies An outline of the steps required in the creative/inventing process whether the goal is a civilization-changing process or a device meant to impress friends and family and perhaps earn license fees. An instructive overview of how to solve problems in innovation—and how to use failures as stepping stones to successful inventions |

| who invented the george foreman grill: My Dad Randy Eubanks, 2018-06-28 This book is the story of a businessman, World War II veteran, and most of all a loving father, who enjoyed making people's lives easier by inventing things. The author takes the reader through the journey of the hopes and disappointments he and his dad experienced during the process of the developing and marketing of the various inventions. His father's journey of inventing began in 1956 and ended in 2013. I will never forget that cool Monday morning on June 28, 1965. That date was the beginning of his journey with his dad. During the journey, the determination, values, and work ethics of his father is exposed for all to see the example of how to live a satisfying and fulfilling life. Even though his formal education was limited because of work responsibilities on the farm, he owns five patents in the Washington, D.C., Patent Office. Not bad for a seventh-grade education. Along with the goal of making life's daily chores easier for many people, his dad so desperately wanted to see at least one of his inventions pay off in order to leave his children a financial inheritance. The character, humor, and common sense of his father is revealed in the stories of the various inventions. In the final analysis, the inheritance that he will leave his children and all who know him is priceless. |
| who invented the george foreman grill: CORNERSTONES Tom Gaskins Jr., 2021-05-07 One person said, I have read many a book in my life, but never one like this! Tom moves from some of the simplest of entities in our life to some of the most complex issues of today. It's some of those simple things that hold great value for us. He admonishes, Follow truth, not people. He tackles such a wide variety of topics that you never know what's coming next. You may view your IQ differently than ever before! He tackles abortion, not in debate but with one simple question! He touches on alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, not in a condemning way but with thoughts he hopes will stick in your mind. This book does not come across as a preach-at-you book, rather, a passing on of thoughts to encourage you. Don't let anyone think for you! It's your life. You're the one who has to live it and leave it! Shootings, voting, fairness-he takes them on. Oh yes, he tackles faith. He suggests you must have a TBS to have a Bible faith. A what? A TBS? You'll see! It's a thought provoker, highly entertaining, out of the box. Surprisingly, he somewhat minimizes politics. Tom maintains it is E-C-O-N-O-M-I-C-S that we need to understand. Like what works and what doesn't work. He addresses what he calls the what's one vote disease. He calls evolution a hoax and backs it up. He says we need to pull out the Golden Rule, dust it off, and hang it back up. The most stirring section may be Finding God within Your Skin. You will never look at yourself in the mirror the same ever again! He takes you into areas of thought where you've probably never been before, like down into the inner chambers of your heart...where no one goes...but you and God. |

| who invented the george foreman grill: No Way but to Fight Andrew R. M. Smith, 2020-01-10 Olympic gold medalist. Two-time world heavyweight champion. Hall of Famer. Infomercial and reality TV star. George Foreman’s fighting ability is matched only by his acumen for selling. Yet the complete story of Foreman’s rise from urban poverty to global celebrity has never been told until now. Raised in Houston’s “Bloody Fifth” Ward, battling against scarcity in housing and food, young Foreman fought sometimes for survival and other times just for fun. But when a government program rescued him from poverty and introduced him to the sport of boxing, his life changed forever. In No Way but to Fight, Andrew R. M. Smith traces Foreman’s life and career from the Great Migration to the Great Society, through the Cold War and culture wars, out of urban Houston and onto the world stage where he discovered that fame brought new challenges. Drawing on new interviews with George Foreman and declassified government documents, as well as more than fifty domestic and international newspapers and magazines, Smith brings to life the exhilarating story of a true American icon. No Way but to Fight is an epic worthy of a champion. |

| who invented the george foreman grill: Cubicles Camika Spencer, 2008-10-28 New from the Blackboard-bestselling author of When All Hell Breaks Loose: When some old secrets make office politics spiral out of control, three women will have to decide how far they’re willing to go to climb the corporate ladder. At first glance, you couldn’t find three women more different than Margaret, Faulkner, and Joyce. Margaret is almost sixty, devoutly religious, and getting ready to retire from her job at Meridian Southwest. Faulkner is a young go-getter who really wants to land a position in upper management. And Joyce is a domineering, immaculately dressed middle-aged woman who’s moments away from receiving a top executive appointment. But something just doesn’t seem right with these three. Isn’t it strange that Margaret and Joyce have worked together for more than twenty years but barely even speak? Why is it that the more Faulkner tries to impress Joyce with her hard work, the more Joyce seems to hate her? Who can explain why the management position for which Faulkner is the best qualified applicant remains vacant? And why is James, the department intern, always smiling about something? Over the course of a few weeks, Margaret, Faulkner, and Joyce are unexpectedly drawn together as a tangled web woven decades earlier begins to unravel. |

By equipping you with these principles and with strategies to help you embody them every day, Foreman provides the tools needed to come out swinging in the business world while also instilling the intrinsic knowledge that the greatest ROI is found in faith, family, and community. Backed with plenty of the author’s engaging personal stories, contemporary accounts of success, timeless wisdom, and leading questions, Knockout Entrepreneur is packed full of everything you need to put your knockout career--and life--plan into action. |
| who invented the george foreman grill: What Would Susie Say? Susie Essman, 2009-10-13 IN WHAT WOULD SUSIE SAY?, Susie Essman sheds the crasser layers to reveal how she went from an anxiety-ridden, struggling stand-up comic to being one of the funniest women on television, playing Susie Greene on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. Emerging as one of the most successful performers in her field, Essman goes behind the scenes of a life in comedy with her funny cohorts, including Joy Behar, Rodney Dangerfield, and, of course, Jeff Garlin and Larry David, while also providing sidesplittingly funny wisdom on a range of topics that she's highly unqualified to expound upon, including men, sports, hypochondria, and stepparenthood. WHAT WOULD SUSIE SAY ABOUT... MARRIAGE? It took me a long time to find the man I was willing to commit myself to. Even the word commit is troublesome. One is committed to a mental institution. MEN WITH DOGS? As a dog lover, I've researched many different breeds and I've begun to realize that you can tell a lot about a person by what breed of dog they choose to associate with. A bit self-conscious about your cellulite? A guy with a shar-pei is for you. They're hard to find, but cheaper than lipo. THE BEAUTY OF MENOPAUSE? I guess I just have to accept the fact that I'm going to end up a bald, fat, sweaty, irritable woman with a dry vagina and a full beard who never sleeps and has memory loss so I won't even be able to remember how hot I used to look! STEPPARENTHOOD? My mother used to tell me 'you can't buy your kids' love.' Bullshit. You can, and it's exponential. They're like Russian mail-order brides -- the more you spend, the more they love you. WHAT WOULD SUSIE SAY? is Essman's irreverent, refreshingly candid, and hilarious retort to the dubious facts of life that we all face. |
