AP – Miami entrepreneur Heynard Paz-Chow is always game to pick up tips from successful executives. So when he heard a charity was auctioning off a lunch with rap-world star Russell Simmons, Mr. Paz-Chow raced to top his rivals in a frenzied online bidding war. He won the meal for $1,625.
But when Mr. Paz-Chow called Mr. Simmons soon after to arrange the rendezvous, Mr. Simmons’s office hung up on him _ not once but three times. “They said they didn’t know who I was,” says Mr. Paz-Chow. The charity, Communities in Schools, was finally able to arrange a date, and next week Mr. Paz-Chow is flying to New York, on his own dime, for the meal, a year after winning the auction. “I guess they’re going to bring Chinese food in,” he says.
