10. The Brady Bunch
We here at Debonair Magazine believe in supporting those who have passion for life and the balls to make their own path where there isn’t one. We’re talking about proverbial trailblazers; those with the entrepreneurial spirit and so on. Frank Anthony Polito is one of those people! DM talks to him about his new book “Lost In The ‘90s.”
“Lost In the ‘90s” is being published by Woodward Avenue Books. Polito has gone through traditional publishers in the past, but this time around, it’s a different story. “I’ve done everything from writing, to editing, to designing the cover, and even handled all of the marketing and publicity,” Polito told us.

Debonair is a way of life. It doesn’t mean you don’t have a fun side; you know how to party but more importantly, you have many dimensions to yourself. To be debonair, you carry yourself with sophistication, you’re charming, and simply are comfortable in your own skin. [Read more...]

Every true debonair should own a writing utensil from Paradise Pen. Jim Paradise, Executive Vice President of the company, tells Debonair Magazine how the upscale pen company got started and how the pens are not from your dad’s office. In our opinion, if it’s not Paradise, it’s not a pen.
Jim Paradise explained that although he has an official title for business purposes, Paradise Pen is a family owned business and titles really are not that important. He continued, “My father would be considered our CEO. My sister is also heavily involved in the business, and is currently a Buyer/Regional Manager.” [Read more...]

Life is all about taking risks. You may fail and you may succeed, but the first step to success is understanding that you actually may fail. Make sure however, that you gave it your all. So where do you begin as a new prospective investor in a down economy?
Many people don’t wish to take, or even have the time to do the necessary research involved, so here are a few helpful hints I have devised to get you started on the right track. Decide whether you are a trader, or an investor. What is your risk tolerance? Find a discount broker. Zecco and TradeKing offer some of the most competitive prices for an online discount broker.
