Conquering the Stage: A Real Talk About Fear

Ever found yourself hiding in the bathroom before a big presentation? You're not alone. Even seasoned speakers get those pre-performance jitters. But here's the million-dollar question: How do some speakers seem so naturally confident?

They don't. They're just better at faking it. 💁

🦈 Shark Tank's $250M Success vs. $1M Disaster

Want to know the difference between landing a dream deal and a nightmare? Let's talk about Shark Tank's greatest hits... and misses.

In one corner: Scrub Daddy, the smiley-faced sponge that turned Lori Greiner's $200K for 20% into a $250M empire. The secret? A deal structure that kept founder Aaron Krause motivated while giving Lori room to work her QVC magic.

In the other corner: Breathometer, Mark Cuban's self-proclaimed "worst investment ever." All five Sharks invested $1M for 30% combined. The result? A complete disaster when product accuracy issues led to FTC-mandated customer refunds.

The difference wasn't just in the products - it was in the deal structure. While Scrub Daddy maintained clear operational boundaries and growth incentives, Breathometer's complex multi-shark structure created chaos.

Want to know how to structure your deal like Scrub Daddy and avoid a Breathometer disaster?
