James Malinchak's Reveals Just How Secret Millionaire Opened Up Doors For The Michael Jackson Family

By Rubin Price


On Labor Day weekend, I had a chance that involved the Michael Jackson family. As I was featured on ABC's Secret Millionaire, apparently, Mrs. Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson's mother saw the program. Since the Jacksons are from Gary, Indiana, and since the show was in Gary, Indiana, Mrs. Jackson watched the program. Of course, I had no idea who watched the program or who resided in the city in which the show was featured.

Months had passed. In reality, over a year had passed when we finally got the call that Mrs. Jackson was thinking about having my cohort Coach Tony Branch as well as I come to assist with a celebration of her son's life. Now, Coach Tony who is from Gary, Indiana touched Mrs. Jackson heart strings with the willingness to give of self to make sure his basketball girls' stood a chance to go to college. Furthermore, she appreciated the donations I gave to aid Coach Tony and the other community service programs in Gary, Indiana, the city that her children grew up.

Upon arriving in Gary, Indiana again, this time around to emcee the celebration of life party for Michael Jackson, I was reminded of how much the city needs an opportunity for positive. Regrettably, a lot of houses are run down, the schools have been in disrepair, and there are vacant houses and businesses all over the place. I was pleased to have an opportunity to hob-knob together with the Jackson's while providing a free community event for the depressed town of Gary.

Despite hardship, the community members were gracious with their smiles. Coming out to dance and sing, hoping to see the Michael's family members, they supported the memory of Michael inspite of the heat and humidity. Chances such as this appear for me not out of luck as some may say. Luck had nothing to do with it. Circumstances came as a result of being diligent in my business practice and aligning myself with great people. Furthermore, it started from selecting the best TV show to be on only after careful consideration!

The main reason the Secret Millionaire, ABC's hit Television show was popular to the Jackson's was for several reasons. The Jackson's are dedicated to the Gary, Indiana community, charitable organizations, and youth. My episode of Secret Millionaire was filmed in Gary, the community the Jackson's grew up in and still visit. The TV program featured me residing in that community reaching out to facilitate charitable organizations for increasing the ability for doing positive things for that area. Furthermore, the show allowed me to locate a group that supported underprivileged youth who had a skill as well as talent in order to do more in their future.

Each one of these circumstances led the Jackson's to associate positivity with the program along with what both Coach Tony and I did for the show. We were collaborating a means to generate positive relationships to develop community, support youth, as well as help other people. There is no luck when it comes to following through. The action generates fortunate circumstances. The action produced fortunate circumstances for all concerned, and I'm grateful for the opportunities it opened.

Being an entrepreneur, you should be constantly thinking about the possible bigger picture to whatever you do. Everywhere you speak, wherever you go, there is a chance of meeting the right individual, the right organization that will alter the course of your future. Enable these possibilities to happen for you personally by being conscious of the possibility. If the possibility does not present itself, then make the possibility for yourself.
