JEAN ALERTE
The only difference between success and failure boils down to one thing, finding out what the masses have done and making a conscious decision to go in the opposite direction. Striving to escape mediocrity can only be accomplished by taking the educated risk, which when explored fully, with the proper due diligence, leads to unparalleled success. Each and every day waking and believing, “Today, I will be better in every way than I was yesterday" is the mindset one needs to accomplish that fully attainable goal.
Only then can an individual truly reach his calling and be the person they were destined to be.
Jean Alerte is a man who lives by these principles. Jean Alerte was born in Port Au Prince, Haiti to Joseph and Marie Alerte. His family moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was 5 years old where his sister Stephanie was eventually born and then to Long Island at 11 where he continued his education. During his youth, Jean had the unique opportunity of experiencing a taste of the finer side of life while being raised in an average lifestyle by his two very hardworking parents. Jean was determined to succeed at a very young age, and was drawn to the trappings of success that he saw around him. Modeling himself after those who had already achieved success was Jean's M.O. from the very start. By the early age of 16, Jean had already begun expanding on his work experiences ranging from marketing, management and entrepreneurship development as a part of DECA, Delta Epsilon Chi Activities. He also landed an intern assignment at balancing and diagnostic market leader, Schenck Trebel. His early work career coupled with family role models and corporate mentors such as Robert Flower and Rob Standfast have molded Jean into a management and marketing guru in his own right. In a twist of events, Jean was introduced to his eventual Promotion/Entertainment advisor, Will Thomas aka Big Will, whom genuinely instilled in him the principles of accountability, morals, and integrity, which Jean incorporates into all of his business ventures. Jean's motto is “Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” Finding successful business moguls in fields that he respected such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Shawn (Jay-Z) Carter, after whom he has modeled himself, he pulled his network and his resources together to reach the next phase of his career in entertainment from music to acting, and sports.
Jean has compiled a list of accomplishments that any company would be proud of, and that span many industries from event planning to sports and artist management. He has landed accounts with Club 40/40 and Benjamin Steakhouse, developed and managed successful events at renowned clubs such as H20, Strata, and Branch, and organized events and parties including football hero Michael Strahan's retirement party, musical diva Missy Elliott's Birthday Bash, Def Jam's 25th Anniversary Event, Tribute for Obama on President's Day, Victory Gala for Tony Williams and Kanye West and his music label, Good Music Label, and Bobby Valentino's Album Release Party.
Working with industry leaders and the biggest names in promotion, and entertainment, (such as Joe Jackson, one of New York's most successful promoters), Vanessa Simmons, and Jay Alexander of Fubu, plus corporate entities like Vibe Magazine, Subway, Vaseline Men, Best Buy, Sprite Green, FJ Benjamin, and Samsung, have fashioned Jean into the success story that he is, ranking at the top of the entertainment world's young entrepreneur's list. With style and grace, Jean aspires to rise to new heights in the entertainment field.
His honest, up-front approach to dealing with everyday people, as well as superstars draws people to him, and to his company ACA, like the proverbial moth to a flame. Jean Alerte is here to "alert” the industry of his presence. He is the future of the entertainment industry, and with his star-studded kick-off show at Westbury, this coming February, 20th of 2010, it's sure that he's here to stay. |

JEFFREY GURIAN
Woody Allen took the rare step of allowing an aspiring young comedy writer to meet with him backstage on Broadway, when he was starring in "Play It Again, Sam." Allen was impressed enough with the young writer to invite him to bring more of his work the next evening, and encouraged the young man to pursue his dream of writing comedy. That young man was Jeffrey Gurian.
Jeffrey's comedy writing career really began when Rodney Dangerfield started performing his jokes on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Since then he's worked with performers that have ranged from legends like Milton Berle , ( his original sponsor in The Friars Club), and Jerry Lewis , to comics like Richard Belzer, the late Phil Hartman, Gilbert Gottfried, Joan Rivers, Pat Cooper, Pauly Shore, Dice Clay, and most recently George Wallace.
Paul Provenza , the director of the hit film “The Aristocrats”, wrote the forward to Jeffrey's recent book, “Filthy, Funny, and Totally Offensive” based on his many years of writing for the famed Friars Roasts. The book is packed with the favorite nasty jokes of more than 250 stand-ups and celebs from all areas of entertainment, including Drew Carey, Jason Alexander, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, Adam Ferrara, Chris Elliott, Jeffrey Ross, Artie Lange, Lisa Lampanelli, Ice-T, The Sopranos , and many more.
Jeffrey's writing for the legendary Weekly World News where he had his own column called “Gurian's World of the Bizarre”, recently led him to launch an animated comedy news series, featured at Cannes 2009 in the Cannes Short Film Corner.
Produced by GNN (Gurian News Network) it bills itself as your source for “All the News That's Fit to Dance To”, with animated stories like “Man Robs Bank with His Chin”, “College Professor Fired for Casually Removing His Spine”, and “Man With Infant's Head Sues For Discrimination.” Jeffrey has written two award winning films, one with actor Scott Baio , and is currently writing a book, and producing a documentary film on the history of The Comic Strip, the longest running comedy club in New York City. His partner, club owner Richie Tienken, opened that club in 1976. He has already interviewed Chris Rock , who is also the Executive Producer of the film, Paul Reiser, Lewis Black, Susie Essman, Colin Quinn, Gilbert Gottfried, Jim Breuer, Jim Gaffigan, Lisa Lampanelli , and many others.
Jeffrey created the comedy variety show “Uncle Nat's Traveling Peep Show”, co-produced the Hamptons Comedy Festival in 2004, and has been writing the national celeb-based online entertainment column Comedy Matters since 1999.
He is also a doctor, a Professor at NYU in the Oral Medicine/Oro-Facial Pain Department, and is on the Board of The Assoc. For Spirituality and Psychotherapy since 2000. He is a lecturer, a Healer, an author, a playwright, and he developed a cure for Stuttering, which he used to cure himself.
He's been featured on radio, TV, gossip columns, and with a cover story in the Style section of The New York Times, because he is a Renaissance Man in the truest sense of the word. |
