After 28 years as a cornerstone of Fox News and Fox Business, Neil Cavuto, 66, made headlines earlier this month with his unexpected resignation.

Monday Morning Radio founding host Dean Rotbart has known Neil for the broadcast journalist’s entire television career. In February 2020, just before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dean conducted an exclusive oral history with him when Neil was honored by his peers with a prestigious Business News Visionary Award in recognition of the journalist’s transformative contributions to the profession.

This week, hear the first-ever airing of that interview and discover Neil's blueprint for success — timeless lessons in determination, adaptability, and excellence that everyone can apply.

Don’t miss this behind-the-scenes look at one of business journalism’s most iconic figures.

Douglas Katz is a West Point graduate, a disabled Army veteran, and a culinary enthusiast. 

The problem for Doug was that, like millions of those who suffer from limited mobility, he struggled to use kitchen utensils that require upper extremity strength. 

Aided by friends and other veterans, Doug took to his workshop to invent a new type of kitchen knife — the NULU knife — the first product in a series of “adaptive” gear he plans to introduce.

Ergonomically made, the NULU blade is located beneath the handle, allowing users’ shoulders, arms, and hands to remain neutral, reducing stress on their joints. NULU delivers a better cutting experience and makes cooking accessible for everyone.

Doug is utilizing Kickstarter to crowdfund the NULU knife.

If you’d like to see the NULU knife in action, visit the product’s Kickstarter page at tinyurl.com/MMR-Knife. There are less than two weeks before Doug’s Kickstarter campaign closes, so if you’re looking for a great holiday gift for family and friends — or for yourself — the time to act is now. 

Doug’s story is an inspiring example of how innovation, perseverance, and purpose can drive entrepreneurial success. By addressing real-world problems, building a solid team, and staying committed to a greater purpose, Doug exemplifies the potential of entrepreneurship to change lives — not just for customers but for communities as well.
