Shark Tank: Negociando com Tubarões

I would like to thank the sharks. I was watching episode with Sophi "Over thinker" All the sharks went out, because of NOT wanting to take her money, as she was doing phenomenal.

Yiu have to see the episode. The sharks said they couldn't help her because she was doing so well.

I disagree, in a Good way. In their comments to her, encouragement, each sharks gave her the gift of confidence! I applaud each sharks for their comments to her. So often young people JUST need words of encouragement!

I speak from personal experience, that encouragement goes so far abd people need more of it

Thank you sharks!!!

I am absolutely appalled that Shark Tank is allowing Maria Shriver to be on the show. I looked up her net worth and it is $200 million. She doesn't need a shark to invest in her company. I've watched Shark Tank since its inception and I love the premise that the sharks are giving the average Joe a shot at the American Dream. This goes against everything Shark Tank stands for. People watch this for the possibility of making it big, not for rich people to get exposure for their products. With one phone call, Maria Shriver could be on any talk show or news platform. She doesn't need to take airtime and opportunity away from those who are just trying to get their company off the ground. The ONLY multimillionaires that should be on the show is the SHARKS!

Keto... There website is designed to trap you, extort money from you, gives you bad phone numbers and bad web addresses so that you cannot cancel your order immediately when you find out that your order did not cost what you expected, and that there contacts within the company cannot, or will not do anything for you. Fraudulent from start to finish.

I love this show. Robert is my favorite. He's such a sweetheart without sacrificing his business-focused mindset, Mark Cuban is the GOAT, and I'd respect Kevin more if he would let other people finish and didn't pride himself on being a jerk. His accomplishments are so impressive but he's so abrasive and rude that I don't care about what he's accomplished because he's not someone I want to know or trust with my business. Just because you're successful doesn't mean you get a pass to be an insufferable butthead.

"Sharks" is an interesting concept. It's a "reality TV show" and the reality is that budding entrepreneurs come before a collection of 5 experienced entrepreneurs and make a pitch, hoping to attract dollars and guidance from one or more of the so-called sharks. The sharks change from time to time, but the main ones are Robert Herjavec, Daymond John, and Kevin O'Leary. Barbara Corcoran alternates with Lori Greiner as the token woman. Kevin Harrington was an early contributor but lately Mark Cuban has been the 5th member.

• Herjavec (1963) is from Canada and made his money in internet security. - John (1969) is from NYC and made his money through FUBU clothing line. - O'Leary (1954) is a Canadian and made his money inventing SoftKey and later The Learning Company. he usually plays "the bad guy" - Corcoran (1949) is from New Jersey and made her money in the NYC real estate market - Greiner is called "The Queen of QVC" where she created more than 400 products. She is often the "sweet one" - Cuban (1958) is from Pittsburg and owns the NBA Dallas Mavericks and Landmark Pictures. - Harrington (1957) is famous for creating the first "infomercial"

Each episode, guests pitch their products and generally speaking, they are critiqued by the sharks often in a hostile and demeaning manner. That's part of the "show biz" flare, but many people will find it objectionable.

As a learning vehicle, the show offers some good examples of how to (and how not to) present their ideas. It's well worth viewing for anyone interested in business and anyone who thinks that at some time they may have to pitch their own ideas.
