Raven Thomas founder, The Painted Pretzel is my pick to send Shark Tank fans online immediately to order her specialty Gourmet Pretzels. The last time an event happened like what I’m anticipating tonight, was caused by Barbara Corcoran’s investment in Kim Nelson’s Daisy Cakes. She had over 70,000 visits in the first three minutes of […]

I just finished reading Daymond John’s interview with Inc. Magazine entitled “Why I Invest In People, Not Companies.” In this interview, Daymond echos many mantras I have embraced as a lifelong salesman and entrepreneur. One thing he stresses is trust.

Jared Joyce, Inventor: Mad Genius or Shark Bait
February 22, 2012 by 3 Comments
Fans and followers of the Shark Tank have surely seen Jared Joyce’s video from Kirk’s post yesterday. It is unclear- probably intentionally so- exactly what Jared will be pitching to the sharks.

I had intended to react to the Talbott Teas segment on Friday’s Shark Tank. It was the most powerful pitch I have seen on the show to date. They had everything the sharks would want: sales went from $100,000 in 2009 to $500,000 through three quarters in 2011, they invested $300,000 of their own money, […]
