The Artist Corner: Introducing Solomon Spector

Hello again everyone! It's been a while, but here is 3rd installment of 'The Artist Corner' where we shine the spotlight on various artistic members [up and coming & established] within the Humbly, Peax & Love community. After all, the Earth without ART is just 'Eh'...

Today we will be featuring Solomon Spector, creator and builder of The Juicing Buddy (check the ad in our sidebar!)

HPNL: Who is Solomon Spector? What are your core values? Your passions?
 

Solomon: My Values are found by going through the values exercise in Success on Purpose from www.thinktq.com ,and they are : Improvement, Simplicity, Wonder, Positivity, Sincereity, Charity, Equality, Attentiveness, Variety and Well-Being.

My passion is to reduce the cost of green energy, reduce pollution of mother earth and help improve the lives of billions of people through access to clean energy.

HPNL: What type of artist are you?

Solomon: I'm an innovator of mechanisms. I like to think of ways to make things simpler and less costly than other people. At one point, Henry Ford began marking automobiles. He didn't know anything about them, but he knew that he could mass produce them for less than the going rate for them. So it is with me that I build Juice Presses for about half the going rate for them and I'm always on the hunt to lower the cost even more!
 

HPNL: Have you always had a knack for making things? When did this journey begin?

Solomon: Since I was little, I played with legos and in elementary school I like to do that challenge where you have 4 nails and a little block of wood to see who can make their little car go the furthest.. I always like being inspired at the achievements of others and the technology which we enjoy the benefits from each day.

HPNL: We are in awe of your handy and helpful invention. What/who inspired you to begin making juice presses?

Solomon: The story began when my wife needed a juice press as she was diagnosed with MS and there are no medically available treatments, so we discovered the Gerson Therapy by accident on netflix under the documentary section. We then learned that by pressing carrots and apples and other fruits and veggies, one's body can be replenished with vital nutrients in large doses which will give the body the materials it needs to repair itself and become more healthful. At the time the only
available presses were either $400 or $2400, so I decided that I could make one for her, and I did. The inspiration came when I realized that other people could benefit from a similar press and I started this journey making presses for many other people. I believe that each day every person is presented with no less than 1,000 opportunities. It is up to us to be aware of them and then to grab hold of that spark of an idea and take it to wherever our desires wish.

 

HPNL: How is your art sustainable?

Solomon: My juice presses are made using sustainably forested wood, specifically the wood is made from plywood, the packaging does not include packing peanuts and all of the boxes and paper are recyclable. Also, my instruction manuals, business cards and other letters are all printed on recycled or partially recycled paper. It does cost a little more, but the benefits will be seen by future generations.

 

HPNL: Where can we purchase a press?

Solomon: The press can be purchased from my website : http://www.MyJuicePress.com and for all of your readers who see this message, it is my hope that they also benefit from the added nutrients and cost savings that a juice press will bring. Here's a coupon code for 10% off everything in my online store : HPNL44 In addition, my wife has recently authored 3 new vegan cookbooks which are available to be purchased in both paperback and digital editions under the same discount code or from her website http://www.leighspector.com . I hope you'll give them a look.

HPNL: What encouraged you to join the Humbly, Peax & Love community?

Solomon: I believe in world peace and love to all of the beautiful creatures in the world. The name is catchy!

HPNL: We here at HPNL absolutely LOVE food. What kind of diet nourishes your spirit?

Solomon:I am very proud that my wife and I feed our family a diet of organic, vegan foods. My mother has made the switch to mostly organic and has reduced the amount of meat she eats - way to go mom! We made the switch slowly to organic about 2 years ago and then we converted to all vegan about 1 year ago. Our children are not getting sick or having ear infections. My energy level increased and mental clarity increased. My wife had tremors in her arms which have started to go away. If we do give the kids cheese or pizza, they get diarrhea and its a mess. I don't know who said we have to eat meat or animal products to be healthy but it doesn't seem to be necessary or even healthful at this point. I heard that it takes about 8000 gallons of water to produce one cow, and the rainforest is being torn down to make fields for cows. That's not good! I'm pleased to see that Burger King now offers veggie burgers! Long live the vegetable and fruit revolution.

 

HPNL: You mentioned that you made windmills too. Please share!

Solomon: My passion is clean energy and specifically making windmills cheaper than the current market price of $15,000 for a small house unit. Just as the juicers fit into my values of reducing the cost of a product by simplifying it, the wind project which I have been engaged in for the past 10 years has taken me along a path to discover myself and learn more about manufacturing. I'm hoping to produce a green energy product which will reduce world pollution in the coming years.

HPNL: What else can we expect from Solomon in the future? What are your other ambitions?

Solomon: My life goal is to make flying cars. The juicers are the first step, then the windmills are the next step as it will teach me about aerodynamics and forces of the air and keeping low costs. Someday in the future I'll then transition my focus to making automated flying cars which will run on hydrogen, unless batteries get smaller and lighter as they are expected to. Once we're flying around more, I'd like to establish a hotel on the moon and stay there a few nights. I'd love to be able to pick up a VW beetle with 1 hand in the reduced gravity of the moon, or be able to slam-dunk a basketball (without a ladder). If I can do that in my lifetime and do it on a large scale, I'll be very happy.

HPNL: Any advice for our readers and other up and coming artists/engineers?

Solomon: Basically, take a piece of straw, sit under a tree, and just let your mind wander. Have fun with your mind and learn about what feelings you have about different words and then write down a list of the words which you have the most feelings from. You can use those to define yourself and begin to establish who you are as a person, not who other people tell you to be. There are excellent step-by-step instructions available on www.thinktq.com which are free and offer a consolidation of the best ideas on the planet for how to basically become the "you" who you were meant to be.

Peace~
