Paul M. Gozzo's June 2013 Real Estate Press Release

Paul M. Gozzo of Jupiter, Florida has been investing in real estate since graduated from Amherst College in 1998. Transitioning from the equity trading desk to equity research and most recently to real estate research with a focus on distressed acquisitions was a logical move for Paul Gozzo. “My interest in residential and commercial real estate began as a kid when I followed my father around to his various real estate projects.”

Paul M. Gozzo spends his weeks split mostly between South Florida, greater Orlando, and Jacksonville, Florida as well as other areas of the Southeastern United States where he analyzes various projects for his diversified group on individual and institutional clients. Research experience in both the financial and real estate markets gives Paul Gozzo a different background than most other analysts in the real estate space who tend to start out and stick with the  one discipline. But Paul M. Gozzo feels his real niche is in having buy-side experience. He says, “having invested myself, I understand what my client’s wants and needs are as well as what their tolerance for pain may be. When you have actually pulled the trigger yourself and lived through those emotions, it gives you a much different seat at the table as an analyst.”

When not one the road or in the office, Paul M. Gozzo enjoys all of the splendors of living in South Florida including fishing and golfing as well as serving the community. Paul Gozzo donates his time monthly to helping to keep local beaches clean with The Friends of Jupiter Beach and when possible, he serves at St. Georges Soup Kitchen in Riviera Beach, Florida where he helps to prepare and serve a hot meal to over 200 people in need.

Paul M. Gozzo Asks: Are you a Hater?

Are you a Hater?

No way man, not me.

That’s what you say. But read further, I think you are.

If you feel good when someone else falls, someone you know, like an old teammate, classmate, coworker, neighbor, or even someone you called friend. You are a hater.

If you are rooting against the Miami Heat not because you are a big Heat fan but because you don’t like them or you simply don’t like Lebron James whom you never met. You are a hater.

Your friend has his handicap down to a 7 and you are making all sorts of excuses for not being as good as him at golf. Ya, you’re a hater.

Your hunting buddy has shot a deer with a bigger rack, turkey with a longer bear, more ducks, or more pheasant, whatever the case, and you are not the top dog. Yet you are not happy for him? Ya man, you’re a hater.

You drive a Chevy so on NASCAR Sundays, you root for Chevy drivers, but when another manufacturer wins, you don’t just move on, you are pissed and start ripping on the winner saying things about his crew chief and how they cheat, or his owner, and finally the winning driver himself, saying “I just don’t like how he handles himself, I think he is arrogant”.

A healthy rival is one thing. I think of the Yankees and Red Sox and how in general, each team’s fan base doesn’t just love their team, they hate the other team. That’s fine, you are rivals. No hating here. But a Sox fan ripping on the Yankees 26 Championships is starting to bring the hate in a little. The “Jeter Sucks” chants definitely bring in the hate when in fact you are chanting that one of the best players in baseball history….sucks?

At this point, you are saying, “no not me”. You wouldn’t do any of these would ya. “I’m not a hater you say.

Really. Someone sent you this blog for a reason…

Are you ever jealous of ANYONE’s car, clothes, or girlfriend? Maybe even their wife or kids? Their house?

How about how much professional athletes make like Floyd Mayweather at greater than $20 million a fight?

Were you ever slightly angry with Mark Zuckerberg or that snake who made no money with Napster but still ended up being a billionaire? But you had no problem tooling on the Winkleboss brothers right.

No, not me, I’m, not a hater.

Jealousy can be masked as hatred. “Hating-on” or being a “Hater” has its roots in jealousy.

Don’t hate. But even worse, don’t claim you are not a hater when you really are.

Denny Hamlin, Do I like him or not?

As a NASCAR fan I have struggled with “liking” certain drivers over the years and Denny Hamlin is one of them. While there is no question, Hamlin is an excellent stock car racer, wanting him to do well and win is another question. 

And ya, it is perfectly okay to root for more than one driver. As the longest running reality show and the first sport allowed having reporters embedded with the teams, NASCAR provides much opportunity to “get-to-know” the drivers and as we watch them emerge and make it or not, our opinions can change, especially as the drivers, crew chiefs, and sponsors move around over the course of their careers

Back to Denny Hamlin:

Here are a couple of big reasons why I do not care for Denny Hamlin:

• Going back to his epic battle with JJ a few years ago, when he raced so well and so hard, but ultimately lost. Quite possibly Hamlin lost because he lost the mental battle big time with his Johnson. But it was the sense of entitlement I got from him as he battled, like he has done everything he set out to do and this title is what he deserves. As a lifelong fan of sports and championship chasers, I know all too well that no champion ever wins because he or she “deserves” to win.
• The “all we do is win” comment after Darlington. Does anyone else have a thought about this? Again, because we are fortunate enough as NASCAR fans to have a microphone in every driver’s car, we can often hear their jubilation after a big win like the Southern 500. But when Denny made that comment, I lost a ton of respect for him because in fact, they “lost” or didn’t win nearly as many as “all” up to the point of that race in that season.

Why I like him:

• He comes from a short track background. I pull for all guys who “grew up” racing on short tracks especially the dirt trackers!
• #11 was my number during my entire hockey playing career and even though it is not retired at Avon Old Farms or Amherst College, it is a big part of my life and so naturally I gravitate to anyone playing sport and representing “sticks”.

Now, at this current stage in the 2013 Sprint Nextel Cup season, I want to root for Denny Hamlin. Why? Because I like comebacks. I like it when guys come back from injury. I like watching history unfold in sports live and right now I believe we may just see this as Hamlin is currently 31^st in points before last night’s race (I hesitate to update any further with all the post race penalties this year) and has a chance to make history by coming back and getting into the Chase (Sprint Cup Playoffs) by the end of the 2013 season. He finished second last night at one of the most difficult and mentally challenging races of the year. He is a fighter. And, moving from 31 to the top 20 with more wins than anyone finishing the year 10-20^th is a lot less difficult than finishing in the top 10 and making the chase that way.  My call is that Denny will make the Chase and do it with a lot of “momentum” making him a favorite.

What do you think? How do you feel about Denny Hamlin

New Lax Wax Chief Marketing Officer Announced

Mr. Paul M. Gozzo of Jupiter, Florida has been named the new Chief Marketing Officer at Lax Wax, adding to his existing role as Director of Sales. A former lacrosse player at Paul M. Gozzo quickly discovered that Lax Wax was the best option for improving his game. He says "I apply Lax Wax to the pocket of my sticks in order to protect them from the elements. Lax Wax, without a doubt, gives me better ball control and elongates the life of my stick!"

Now that Paul M. Gozzo lives in Florida, he can be found spending as much time as possible being active outdoors enjoying the tropical weather that South Florida has to offer. Although he enjoys warm weather activities like fishing and golfing, he can still be found playing indoor ice hockey at least once a week as well as lending a helping hand to others through serving the community.

Lax Wax was developed by actual lacrosse players to create the best wax for lacrosse sticks. Lax Wax uses a twist up applicator to easily distribute wax to the pockets, sidewalls, and shooters of lacrosse sticks. Lax Wax makes it easier to control the ball, and increases release velocity.

Since joining Lax Wax in March, Paul M. Gozzo has been instrumental in adding relationships with retail lacrosse stores throughout the United States bringing the total number of retail stores currently selling Lax Wax to over 50, well on the way to the company goal of 100 in 2013. Recently, Paul assisted in negotiating a promotional deal with the Boston Cannons professional lacrosse team. Gozzo is looking forward to adding other positive marketing relationships moving forward as well as establishing a presence at select lacrosse camps and tournaments this summer.

For up to date information on Paul M. Gozzo and his new role as Director of Sales and Chief Marketing Officer at Lax Wax, follow him on Twitter and Facebook.

Paul Gozzo's call...Kyle Larson will be a NASCAR Champion

After watching the first three Nationwide Series races this yer, I (Paul Gozzo) am convinced that Kyle Larson will win at least one and probably several NASCAR Championships in the top two series.

This kid (Kyle Larson) can drive and if you have heard an interview with him, he speaks well and looks good, both of which are important for attracting sponsors which drive the sport. Pun intended. For those of you who do not understand that last part, racing is very expensive and so car owners need sponsorship money to put cars in races. Drivers drive for owners. owners are businessmen and sometimes former racers. These businessmen need to attract sponsorship money and so a driver who can speak well and looks good is as important as his skills behind the wheel.

Kyle Larson has all three traits including the 4th oft forgotten skill of doing whatever it takes to win even if that means playing dirty like Kyle did during speed weeks earlier this year.

This kid reminds me of a young Jeff Gordon in more ways than one.You heard it hear in 2013, Kyle Larson will win NASCAR Championship(s).
