Barbara, Barbara is full style Barbara. 20 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: Of course, the reason why we begged her to come 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: on today is they just kicked off season fourteen last 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: Friday of A Shark Tank. Just came back from LA. 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: We're doing the media tour with all the sharks this week. 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: We're exhausted. Good no, no, let them kick the hell 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: out of here. It's good. It's good to be working. 26 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: It's good to be outside. I don't know about working 27 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: this hard. You know, I'm not a young chicken anymore. 28 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: If I'm putting it out, I'm putting it out. I 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: know that's what we all got to where we are. 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: We put it out. But I don't know what that means. 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: I've seen the other sharks out and about, and I'm said, 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm just like, thank god, we've got Barbara. I don't 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: want the other ones. Oh come, I love I love them. 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: Come on. They all told me you asked them to 35 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: be on, they weren't available. Wow, that is not true. True, 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: not true. They come tell us, old ladies, he's full 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: of crap. Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's not 38 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: what we said. A Shark Tank. You know, the fourteenth 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: season compared to all the other seasons you've been on 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: in the past, Well, how is it different. Now. How 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: has the world shaped it into a new new Shark 42 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: Tank world. Well, a couple of things make it very different. 43 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: This year, I almost felt like I was on a 44 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: new show. We had a live audience show. It was bonkers. 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: The people were chanting, take her deal, take his deal, 46 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: take her deal. This is let's make a deal. It 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: was like a game show. It was like what we 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: usually do in an hour and a half. Here a 49 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: pitch and they edited down. We did each one in 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: seven minutes. It was horrific. It was the scariest thing 51 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: I've ever done. It seems like, God, it's less work. 52 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: It's not less work. Well, what was it about? You 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: didn't really care for because you couldn't ask you questions? 54 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: It was real money. I'm spending hundreds of thousands of 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: dollars on each deal, and I couldn't even ask enough questions. 56 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: I had to go or stay, get out, or get in, 57 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: and so I went in every time the audience said 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: take her deal. I spent way too much money, overpaid 59 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: for everything. Right. It was like I caught up in 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: the mall and it was so exciting. So it's almost 61 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: as if these crowds were talking you through their chanting 62 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: into doing things you normally wouldn't have done. Well, let 63 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: me say I normally wouldn't spend six hundred thousand dollars 64 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: on a boogie picker. And that's exactly sorry, booger will 65 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: be up for children. You're sticking in their nose and 66 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: you picked, you know, you clean their nose out six 67 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 1: hundred thous I'm sure it's a wonderful deal. I would 68 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: do it for a dollar. I do it for a 69 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: dollar fifty an hour. I could have bought one for 70 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: a dollar fifty per hour. Okay, So you spent six 71 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: hundred grand on a booger picker that you would not 72 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: have spent that money on without an audience. Definitely. Now, 73 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: so do we do we do shout the audience for 74 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: the new season? Are they gone? Well, they've gone for 75 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: the season, and I think they're going to bring them 76 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: back next year, but I'm going to call them sick. Well, 77 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: so I'm sure you, being Barbara Corkran, you made your 78 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: feelings be known. Of course I did. I said give 79 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: me my money back, and they said no, you didn't. 80 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: You said, you know, I want to refund. Yeah, yeah, 81 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: I knew they wouldn't give it back. I love hearing this. No, wait, 82 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: can you wait? Can you do that after you make 83 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: the deal, Like, if you decide you really don't want 84 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: to do it, can you take it back? Happens all 85 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: the time. You know, we do due diligence after the facts. 86 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: So if we don't like the deal, we don't have 87 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 1: to close what we close on the great majority of them. 88 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: Oh good, yeah, yeah, I can see how some of 89 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: them would go south because you don't have all the details. 90 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: During the course of people exaggerate, you know, they say 91 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: I own the patent, but their brother in law, who 92 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: hates it gods owns a patent. That's what you find 93 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: out something like that. Oopsops straight, and Nate has a question. 94 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: Yeah at the tip. So I watched the first episode 95 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: and the very first product was compostable underwear. You got it, 96 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: aren't They all know? I'm having on our I guess 97 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: my question is this, what's the last great, truly fantastic 98 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: idea you've gotten? Because it seems like people are really 99 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: trying to find a niche, right, of course, what's the 100 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: last one that just blew you away? It may have 101 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: happened on the show, may have happened in an elevator. 102 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: What was the last one that you're like. That would 103 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: be the Comfy, which is an over size sweatshirt, and 104 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: the race And it blew me away because it was 105 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: so silly At the time, I thought, who the heck 106 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: would buy that? But I liked the guys. Gave them 107 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars and bought a third of their business. 108 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 1: I was the only buyer that day. They were laughing. 109 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: I think I'll have a beer with them. They're great guys. 110 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: They sold eight hundred million dollars in two years. Oh 111 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: my god, it was unbelievable. It's a runaway train. Whoever 112 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: saw it coming? Not me, that's for sure. I have one. 113 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: A couple of us have on me. I bet we 114 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: saw half of America. I bet we did. What about 115 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: the dumbest thing you've ever heard? Like? Was the dumbest 116 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: thing anyone's ever pitched? It was a Rhodes scholar. He 117 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: came in and he asked us for five million dollars 118 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: to build a tower in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. 119 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: But it was worth it because he was going to 120 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: turn seawater into pure water for the rest of the world. 121 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: He was serious. I was like whoa, I gotta put 122 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: it in reverse for a second. So you you spent 123 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars on the what was the sweater? Sweatshirt? Oh? Comfy? Okay, 124 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: fifty thousand on the comfy. Do you mind telling us 125 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 1: what your return was on that? You know, I've never 126 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: figured it out. The checks just keep coming in millions 127 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: of dollars, not just Bark. I really never thought about him, like, 128 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm afraid we'll if you bring me bad luck. Maybe 129 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: those checks will cute probably six seven millions. Wow, you 130 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna buy you a 131 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: new apartment here in the city. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, 132 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: I can barely handle the one I have. So was 133 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: that was that road scholar, the same guy who said 134 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: he was going to harvest the energy from hurricanes and 135 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: make gold. No, that was a different cook. But you 136 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: got to agree, Barbara, you know there is something you 137 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: said from the cooks of this world, because no offense, 138 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: you are definitely one of them. I am one. No, 139 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't know about this. Everyone on this show right 140 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: now is proud to admit that we are off center. Yes, 141 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: but that's I think the office people are the ones 142 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: that rule the way they are the only ones you 143 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: have fun with. That's for sure. This is true. Sure, Okay, 144 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: you know what, there's more to the fun and the 145 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: rolling of the dice, as it were, when it comes 146 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: to believing in people's products and believing in them. What 147 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: about the dreams? I mean, have you ever really just 148 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: heart melted over watching someone succeed after you supported them 149 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: and you see their dreams come true, and you just 150 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: you just see, wow, what a great story. I mean, 151 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: there's got to be something that you love about that. 152 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: It's not even the story. Honestly, it's the single best 153 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: thing about being a shark. You know, you go at 154 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you see people who had 155 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: a little dream, had no cash, no way to turney 156 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: gave him the same opportunity that you had as a kid. 157 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: Someone won me a thousand dollars. I could have never 158 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: succeeded without that money, without a doubt. Of course, I 159 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: slept with my boyfriend again a thousands, but I was 160 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: going to sleep with them anyway. But really, the satisfaction 161 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: that comes from seeing a nobody or they don't think 162 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: they're nobody, but they sure look like nobody on this 163 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: that come and have a great living, buy a new house, 164 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: put their kids in private school, buy the new cars, 165 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: give to charity. A lot of these people give half 166 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: their money to charity out of gratitude. So any of 167 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: those stories, all of those stories. I have dozens of 168 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: entrepreneurs that make me cry when I think about them. 169 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: Can we make such a little miracle. It is a 170 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: big miracle. And if if we could just capitalize the gratuity, gratitude, gratitude, 171 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: it's so important. I want to open this up for 172 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: Danielle and Gandhi and everyone on the show because I 173 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: know they want to talk to you about some things. Yes, 174 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: but before we get to I just want to say, 175 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: I think what makes you personally and professionally watching Shark 176 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: Tank as wonderful and stellar as you are. You're all 177 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: about storytelling. You know what great storytellers can sell you 178 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: the moon. I agree, they can sell you a dream, 179 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: They can sell anything, because it doesn't feel like sales, 180 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: and it really isn't Talk about that anyone out there 181 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: who's a struggling or just trying to find their way. 182 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: Talk about how storytelling worked for you, how it can 183 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: work for all of us. I think that when you 184 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: relate well to people and tell them a story that 185 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: you've experienced in your own life. They like you automatically. 186 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: I also think people are a lot smarter than people 187 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: give people credit for. I think they can smell in genuineness. 188 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: Is there a word in genuineness? They could smell it 189 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: a mile away. So if you speak from your heart, 190 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: even if you think that your story is not very soulful, 191 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: what does improve a point? Well, people love you for 192 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: opening up and being genuine. So I think it's the 193 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: best teacher in the world. But it has to be real. 194 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: People see right through the bullshit. They really do hit 195 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: the button. People. People see right through the bologny. Hey, 196 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: you know what storytelling people do? Do want to hear 197 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: your story? So never ever squelt your story. Danielle Barbara Corkran, 198 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: What do you want to talk to her about? I 199 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: want to ask her, like all these people freaking out 200 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: right now, you know, me being one of them, about 201 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: the way the world is and finances and you know, 202 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: if you had to retire right now, you wouldn't be 203 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: able to and keep checking things to see how it's 204 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: doing in the stock market. What would you tell people 205 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: to do? Well? It might not work for everyone. But 206 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: here's what I do. I don't read the newspaper. I 207 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: just use a cheat sheet in my desk every day. 208 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: See what's going on in the world takes me about 209 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: two seconds. I don't check my stock portfolio, and I 210 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of my net worth in it. I 211 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: never ask because I'm not going to sell anything. I'm 212 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: not going to die that I know of. I just 213 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: take a day at a time. I don't really care 214 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: what's going on around me. I just want a happy life. 215 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean, in terms of finances and worries and how 216 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: am I going to afford Now I'm in a different 217 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: position from a lot of people. I really don't have 218 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: financial worries. But I'll tell you when I was near 219 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: going bankrupts bankrupt. I can't talk to Jay, sorry, I'm 220 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: still waking up. But when I was at that hour, 221 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: I got a conversation going with my mother, and you 222 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: know what she said to me. She said, you're not 223 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: worried about money, are you? I said, yeah, I'm going bankrupt. 224 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: She said, what a waste of time. She had the 225 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: right attitude. I've never worried about money, even the worst 226 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: of times. After that conversation and something always breaks, something 227 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: comes through. You survive stuff, well, we all do. So 228 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: I just think it's such a waste of time to 229 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: worry about money. Wow, worry about doing a better job, 230 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: you make a little bit more money, whatever, but don't 231 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: worry about what you don't have. Puts it ahead in 232 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: the wrong place. It debilitates you. It makes you less 233 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: than you can possibly ever be because you're focused on 234 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: the wrong stuff. Wow, it's that simple thing, you know. 235 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: Let's worry about the things that we can worry about 236 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: in fix other than that, keep moving forward. All right, 237 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: here comes Gandhi. I see her sizzling over there, sizzler 238 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: of oarizzling of my favorite people. So I think, first 239 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: of all, Shark Tank needs to be shown in high 240 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: school and college classrooms across the country. I think you 241 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: learned so much from it. I've learned so much from it. 242 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: But as far as the pandemic goes, have you guys 243 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: seen a whole new batch of people starting their own 244 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: businesses and like ingenious things coming your way? I couldn't 245 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: say we've seen ingenious things, because every idea is a 246 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: genius of the person who thought about it. Whether it's 247 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: going to make a go of it or not. But 248 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: what we saw this year, which was remarkable, is young people. 249 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: I beg you. The average age of who pitched this 250 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: year was probably twenty four. Wow. And everybody stood up 251 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: there and opened their picture at the same thing, And 252 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: they weren't paid to say it either. They said, I've 253 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: been watching you on Shark Dung since i was in 254 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: fourth grade. How depressing was that? And they looked like 255 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: a grown up who was shaving by now, you know. 256 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: But every single person there said they were inspired by 257 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: the show. They said they found the courage to get 258 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: started on the show. And when we got the older people, 259 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: the few token older people, middle aged people who were pitching, 260 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: they said that we gave them the courage to quit 261 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: their job and take a stab at making it on 262 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: their own. So, you know, it was the most inspiring 263 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: year we got as Sharks. We probably shouldn't have been 264 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: paid for the show this year. We should have been 265 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: paying out the money. I think, Wow, anything else gandhi, Um, 266 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: I have a couple ideas I'm going to pitch Barbara later. 267 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Don't do it. I'm not spending any more money today. 268 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So several seasons ago you struck a deal 269 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: with a cousin's main lobster. Yeah, I don't think. I 270 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: was just thinking about that right now, and it's that weird. 271 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: And I know that they're successful because their brands still 272 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: exists today and I see it everywhere. However, Yeah, to 273 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: what extent do you and the Sharks stay involved all 274 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: the way through? I mean, are you still part of that? 275 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: Because I always think of you when I hear that 276 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: some businesses more than others. With them, I talked to 277 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: them at least twice a week. You know why. They're delicious. 278 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: They're fabulous, they're partners Jim and Saban. They're fabulous businessmen. 279 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: But I also talk to everyone who is a huge 280 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: success because I could be most helpful to those people. Now. 281 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: They started out with one part time truck. They didn't 282 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: believe we could make a franchise out of it. They said, 283 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: no way. They have fifty Today they have I think 284 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy five employees. They are a huge success. 285 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: I think they've sold over sixty million dollars worth of lobster. 286 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: You know. But you know what's so great about them, 287 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: I find excuses to talk with them. That contagious you 288 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: hang around great people who are optimists will pushing the 289 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: envelope all the time. Like Jim and Saban are always 290 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: those people. I get energy for them, and I push 291 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: the envelope with the next person. I love hearing that 292 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: making sixty million bucks off the cockroach of the sea. 293 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: Who I don't like that? They really are at one point? 294 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: You know, Los Lobster role to you, Elvis today. I 295 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: love Lobster House Lafayette, my favorite place in New York City. 296 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: The thing about lobster is it used to be fed 297 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: to prisoners because there was such an overabundance of them, 298 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: and now they're so expensive it's prime stuff. Um yes, 299 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: straight name. Okay, another question, Barbara, here he comes. Lots 300 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: of people have good ideas, right, but there's probably a 301 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: lot more bad ideas out there. What can help sell 302 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: a bad idea through? Like a good, smile, handsome person pitching. 303 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: It's asking for a friend. Like you know, you're like, Okay, 304 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: it's a bad idea, but I really like the guy. 305 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: I'll give you some money. You know, there's been a 306 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: lot of deals made on Shark Tank. Two guys like that. 307 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: They look good, they have high energy. The great salespeople. 308 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: You really want to be their friend. But their ideas 309 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: you can't say sucks right, sucks is fine, okay, but 310 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: their idea sucks all right. But what happens is they 311 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: get their investment anyway, because we're banking on the entrepreneur 312 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: that they're going to realize the mistake, change your model 313 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: around and come up with something good. And you know what, 314 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: That's happened to me at time and time again when 315 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: I've kept my eye on a good looking guy like you, Thanky, 316 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: oh boy, the same woman who try to steal my man. 317 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm still working on that, Alex. You know my friend 318 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: Ellen Kay, she does mornings in Los Angeles. Hope you 319 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: go buy and see her season. She said, Oh, I'm 320 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: listening to this interview. I thought I was your number 321 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: one girlfriend. I thought I was your thought. Oh no, 322 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what is there over there anyway, Ellen, 323 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: We say hello to you.

I 327 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: have a store on the Upper East Side I took 328 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: it over about three years before the pandemic, and when 329 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: the pandemic hit, I didn't know what was going to happen. 330 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: I stayed open every single day. I did the best 331 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: that I can, and I had just a few good 332 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: customers continuing to come in. And one person changed my 333 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: life because they were just talking to me. And sometimes 334 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: that's all you need is just one person to just 335 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: talk to you. And that one person talking to me 336 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: was telling me just live for the moment, live for today. 337 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen tomorrow. You put 338 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: your head on the pillow to you don't even know 339 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: if you're going to wake up. Take care of what 340 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: you could take care of today. And that's it. When 341 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: you were when you were talking about how you were 342 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: afraid to go bankrupt, and uh, you know, you're you're 343 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: worrying so much about you know what's going to happen next. 344 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: You're creating that block within your own life. So then 345 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: you're kind of preventing your own success from happening because 346 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: you're worrying too much about the wrong thing. Absolutely, what 347 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: happened to you next, I'd be curious. So thankfully I'm 348 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: still in business UM, I lowered my overhead by by 349 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: moving my store off of me, off of a mean 350 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: avenue to a side street. And when I cut my 351 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: overhead by a third, that really helped me to survive 352 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: because I went from paying twenty thousand dollars a month 353 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: and run to four thousand dollars.

Who are Tennessee fans a 386 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: new comfy with the Tennessee te So we have most 387 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: definitely loved our company. There you go, comfy fans, go figure, right, 388 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: But don't you feel delicious when you're bundled up? Yeah? 389 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: Ali is here. Remember Ali came in not too long 390 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: ago and said she was looking at an apartment that 391 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: actually was a good deal, but the bathroom was out 392 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 1: in the hallway. WHOA, really, did you ever find a place? 393 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: Did you ever rent a place? No? I ended up 394 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: so my landlord increase my rent by eleven point five percent, 395 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: But then looking at the market, it was still five 396 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: hundred dollars less than the apartments in the area, and like, 397 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: I still a studio. So I was just wondering, if 398 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: there's going to be another dramatic rent increase, should I, 399 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: like stay locked into the apartment I have? Now you 400 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: know what's going on with people renting control? Well, you 401 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: don't have control because you're what we call a tenant. 402 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: The landlord has the control, and landlords aren't going to 403 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: cut you any deals. The market's going up, the rentsa 404 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: going up. They're not going to come down, period. Is 405 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: it any way you could get out of that rat 406 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: race and buy yourself something right now? Not even a studio. 407 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: You can't pitch you know what. Let me tell you something. 408 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: The people who buy studios just a starter apartment in 409 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: New York rarely ever buy without the help from a 410 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: rich uncle or an aunt or a parent who loans 411 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: them the money. There's no shame in asking for money 412 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: to get a start. I'm a big believer in it. 413 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: Can you pitch your mother on becoming your partner and 414 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: giving the down payment and you'll share the proceeds when 415 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,959 Speaker 1: you sell for a profit. I don't know, Uncle Elvis. 416 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: It's a great idea. Where's the time. Actually, actually heard 417 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: a very successful entrepreneurs say the other day you should 418 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: never ever buy anything. You should be renting out there. No, 419 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: it's not true. This one person said, you're never gonna 420 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: get your return because of all this stuff you spend 421 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: being your own landlord. Now that's a that's a left 422 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: left brain type guy in finance. I'm sure that's who 423 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: that was, But let me don't. I made the worst 424 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: mistake of my life when I backed out of his 425 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: studio when I was twenty eight. I died to put 426 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: the down payment together, but I backed out because I 427 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: sensed it was a high in the market. I'm in 428 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: the trade. I don't want to buy it the high, 429 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: and I backed out, lost my deposit, and you know, 430 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: it took me eight years to save again to buy 431 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: my next studio. But once I did, I had a 432 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: chit in my game. I traded it up for a 433 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: one bedroom. Years later, I traded for two bedroom, three 434 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: bedroom my penthouse today that I enjoy I wouldn't have 435 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: if I didn't get in the game. I just the 436 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: market ran away from me. It just runs away from me. 437 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: If you're not in the game, you gotta get in 438 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: the game. Come on, go find that rich uncle. Stop 439 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: looking at Elvis, Uncle Elvis, start calling him that. Here's 440 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: an interesting question from another talkback by Barbara Jane from 441 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: New Jersey. I have fifty thousand right now to invest. 442 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: I really wanted to buy a rental property, like a 443 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: duplex with two units, but it's hard to afford that 444 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: with just fifty thousand dollars. What can I do with 445 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: the fifty thousand that I have? Fifty thousand? What do 446 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: you do with it? You're on the right path to 447 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: buying a two unit home. It's the best investment to 448 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: get started as a real estate investor. But if you 449 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: know your neighborhood, when you have knowledge, people around you 450 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: always have money. If you have money, you don't have 451 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: knowledge like me anymore, right, you should maybe approach someone 452 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: with money to give you money. If you know your 453 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: market and be a partner in investment, but find the 454 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: investment first and seeing the praises of that investment. Don't 455 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: you know anyone who has money that you know? Well, 456 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: that was a recording, so you can't answer. Let me 457 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: tell you something that is really true about what I 458 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: just said. When I wanted to buy real estate, I 459 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: had no time, and when I had the time, it 460 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: was opposite. I found partners in every neighborhood in Brooklyn 461 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: to find me property, not brokers. People live there and 462 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: knew the streets, knew the right side of the street, 463 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: and I made them a ten percent partner. I put 464 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: up the money, and I've been the partner ever since. 465 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: I know. I own a lot of property I would 466 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: have never had if I didn't get an expert who 467 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: as my ten percent partner. People with money need expertise, 468 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: and people with expertise need money. You need a partner. Wow, 469 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I know she didn't. I know she dialed off. Right, 470 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: she's listening, so okay? Good? Uh? What what's that you give? 471 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: A podcast? Yes, of course you probably have these recordings 472 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: rolling in on yours, but you you maybe never check them.
