If life was a basket ball game and St. Louis was
the court, the promoters would be the All-Stars
with Mo Spoon holding his position as the `Tim
Duncan' of the nightlife. With his tall stature
and quiet nature combined with his formula
for staying true to the fundamentals, he was
destined to reign at the top of his game.
Born Mohammed Witherspoon, Mo Spoon,
the creative force behind MPAC, had no clue
while wrapping up his college career that simply
passing out fliers for Distinguished Marketing
Incorporated was going to change his life.
"You gotta grind before you shine", Mo humbly
exclaims as he vividly paints a powerful portrait
of how his hustle helped him to start setting off
the St. Louis scene and teaming up with Rams'
Linebacker, Tommy Polley, for Monday Night
Football at Lucky's on the Landing. He's since
worked with every celebrity and socialite in the
city while implementing his master plan to raise
the bar for St. Louis.
Mo Spoon has proven his capabilities with the
successful launching of the Eye Candy series.
When asked of the secret to his success, Mo
Spoon simply states, "I can answer that in
one word: Consistency. Whatever it took to
get you to the point where it's finally working
for you, you have to do that over and over
again". He continues, "I try to provide the basic
elements necessary to have a good time." He
demonstrates this theory by packing various
venues the final Friday of each month with
celebrities who love beautiful women, beautiful
women who love to be seen, and partygoers
who love to be in the middle of it all.
Of course with success comes adversity. With
doubters questioning the validity of his models'
full potential, Mo Spoon is further motivated to
helping these curvaceous cuties gain exposure
while fulfilling their passions. Having showcased
the Eye Candy models in every major publication
in the city, he understands there's always room
for growth as he plans to introduce St. Louis's
finest in other markets.
At this point, nothing that I've mentioned about
Mo Spoon is unfamiliar. As a brand, his life is on
display; but as a man, there's an air of mystique
that clouds around him. Keeping his personal
life private, Mo Spoon exclusively revealed to
Delux Magazine information about what means
the world to him. "I'm really a family man. I
have to make time for my family", the proud
husband--yes, husband--and father proclaims.
He also revealed that his purpose is of a higher
calling. Though he works to ensure each of
his patrons enjoy the MPAC experience, he's
simultaneously continuing his spiritual journey
as he works to bring his family and neighbors'
closer to Christ.
Eventually expanding MPAC TV to share the
success of the city with the rest of the world, Mo
Spoon continues to hustle while remaining true
to himself. With a passion for providing quality
events and remaining one of the most humble
men in the industry, Mo Spoon continues to hold
his position as a successful promoter this city.
