But Mitchell isn’t all work and no play. In high school in Westport, Ct., Mitchell co-produced a benefit rock concert with a friend of Edgar Winter’s White Trash with Rick Derringer, a highly popular rock band at the time. A seriously risky venture at the time, proved to be stunningly successful and the group played to a standing room only crowd. Edgar Winter himself had such a special experience doing this concert, he came to Mitchell’s house for an after-concert party, and told him that he loved the concert and experience so much that he was going to move to Westport, Ct., which he did.
This success inspired Mitchell to produce another one, this time by himself as producer, and with another very popular group, The J. Geils Band. Again, a record-breaking attendance and another benefit for the school newspaper.

These successes led to Mitchell being invited to produce a fund-raising concert for then Presidential candidate, George McGovern (1972). Herbie Mann and Dave Brubeck’s sons were the talent. Well-known French trumpeter Don Elliott, actor Alan Arkin and his wife helped Mitchell with making radio spots and PR, which helped to fill an auditorium in an otherwise rather Republican town not so interested in a “peace candidate”. The concert went well, and the head of the McGovern for President entertainment committee, Warren Beatty, commended 18-year old Mitchell and asked him to head up concert production for the campaign for the State of Ct.

Mitchell joined with some theater friends from Bard College and formed The Bakery Theater Cooperative in 1982 which adapted the Nobel Prize for Literature Laureate, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s short story, Gimpel the Fool, to theater. Isaac, who was a good friend of ours, loved the adaptation and stated that we were the only group that successfully adapted his writing to another artistic medium. The piece was toured around New York, New England and to Canada. It was then performed in a Gothic Cathedral in Montclair, NJ where Isaac sat on the set after the theater piece to give one of his inspired and humorous talks. The event was a fund-raiser for a organization which promoted Jewish-Christian relations. From this a video was made and sold to Swedish and Japanese television.
Mitchell began The Center for Creative Well-Being in 1989 a Stress Management-Healing Center in NYC using floatation tanks and a Sound Womb. This became wildly popular and attracted the attention of health activist-radio celebrity Gary Null, which began their now 30+ year relationship. Mitchell was known for his work with Floatation Tanks and its value in relaxation, stress management, performance enhancement and re-programming.
Mitchell founded The Ecology Institute in 1990 as a means of marketing eco-friendly technologies with the goal of promoting renewable energy and solutions to sustainability by reducing our carbon footprint and emphasizing renewable energy.

This became the name of the weekly radio and TV shows Mitchell produces & hosts weekly. Mitchell has also been a partner in several start-up green companies.
