Once upon a time in a land far, far away economic development was alive and well because of an action hero committed to collectively helping more individuals start, grow and succeed in business...

Birth of an Action Hero
As reported in the Cybercity Business Chronicles this past week under the heading, Electric Shock Strikes Philanthropist, we learned that Dr. Buz Leighton, renowned philanthropist of economic and community development causes, was found dazed in his Manhattan Street office. Lying next to him on the floor was an empty coffee mug with its contents spilled across the surface of his laptop's keyboard.

Through follow on testing, his ability to assimilate information now mirrors that of a state-of-the-art computer processor, and his physical abilities suggest that he can transport himself anywhere in the world at lightening speed.

Buz is most well known for his work in small business development, education and mentoring having made it his life's ambition to help others connect with the resources they require to support their individual and collective prosperity through entrepreneurship. At the time of the accident, he was working on a research project of massive proportions whereby all free and low-cost public business assistance programs would be identified, translated and catalogued in a way that made them accessible and understandable to all individuals across the country.

As cited by the Mayor in a recent community development award ceremony where Buz was honored, "Buz is all about helping individuals to receive value and add value in their respective communities and around the globe. His contributions have helped minorities, veterans, women, disabled individuals, students, businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, associations and educational institutions to come together to form a reliable, trusted network where building knowledge and engaging in productive business-to-business relationships can occur all at no charge."

Snow is the owner of Salon Gratzi, a full-service salon that opened for business just over two years ago, but that has been suffering lately due to a recent downturn in the economy.

"I don't know where it came from!" offered Snow in an astonished tone.
