His journey to become a successful inventor gained national attention when he appeared on ABC's Shark Tank in 2012. During his pitch, Hopper captivated the Sharks with his story and product, earning a deal with investor Lori Greiner.Before Shark Tank, Rick had worked in various roles, including sales and manufacturing, eventually launching ReadeREST after creating a magnetic solution to keep his reading glasses secure. His innovative yet practical product struck a chord with consumers. ReadeREST quickly scaled from a grassroots invention to a multimillion-dollar brand, selling in major retailers like QVC, Walmart, and The Container Store. Rick Hopper is both the Executive Director of Biz Owners Ed, a nonprofit serving the entrepreneur community in the DFW area, and Mastery Partners Elevating Businesses to Achieve The Business Owner's Dream Exit The unfortunate reality is that for every business that comes on the market (for whatever reason), only 17% of them achieve a successful exit. You read that right. 83% of attempted business transitions never reach the closing table. Mastery Partners is on a mission to change that. We ELEVATE businesses to achieve maximum value and reach that dream exit. Our objectives are simple - understand where the business is today, identify opportunities for dramatic improvement, and offer solutions to enhance the business, making it more marketable and valuable. And that all starts with understanding the business owner's definition of his or her dream exit. Mastery has developed a 4-Step Process to help business owners achieve their dreams. STEP 1: Transition Readiness Assessment STEP 2: Roadmap for Value Acceleration STEP 3: Relentless Execution STEP 4: Decision: Now that desired results are achieved, the business is ready for the next step in the journey!

Old friend of the show, musical comic Avery Pearson returns just to have Bobby butcher his introduction many times over. Avery is pre-diabetic like Bobby and currently on Ozempic like Big Jay. Bob pitches a product idea of a float/anchor for water fun and wants everyone to be seed investors. Avery wants in on the ground floor and agrees to write a theme song for this invention. Jay invents a similar product to the "Flanker" that turns out to be a bad idea. Avery's special "Give It Up, Avery Pearson" premieres on VEEPS on June 26th! *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more FOLLOW THE CREW ON SOCIAL MEDIA: @thebonfiresxm @louisjohnson @christinemevans @bigjayoakerson @robertkellylive @louwitzkee @jjbwolfSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Bonfire ad-free and a whole week early.  Start a free trial now on Apple Podcasts or by visiting siriusxm.com/podcastsplus.

If you think Shark Tank shows you how real investment deals work, it's time to look deeper. After 35+ years of structuring actual deals, I have some thoughts. Don't get me wrong. Shark Tank has done incredible things for entrepreneurship awareness. It's entertaining. It introduces people to concepts like customer acquisition costs and business valuations. But as someone who negotiates real deals, the show misses so much of what actually happens. Mark Cuban's "shot clock" negotiations? Not how real investors operate. The focus on simple equity percentages? Real deals involve preferred shares, liquidation preferences, board seats, anti-dilution rights. Those dramatic handshake commitments? Studies show 30-40% of Shark Tank "deals" never actually close. And we rarely hear follow-up on companies that struggle or fail. Compare this to The Pitch podcast, which features real investors evaluating real companies with full follow-up on what happens after the cameras stop rolling. We'll dive deep into this (and so much more) in this episode of the DealQuest Podcast! What Shark Tank gets right about deal basics The crucial deal terms that never get discussed on TV Why most "Shark Tank deals" don't actually close How The Pitch provides authentic deal education And much more So if you're an entrepreneur considering investment or anyone fascinated by how deals really work, you'll want to hit play on this one.• • •FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE:https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/sharktank• • •FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFER:https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/http://coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

Listen as Jay reveals the strategic approach he took that led to a successful pre-seed funding round in just 4 weeks! Jay Kriner, a Shark Tank alum turned tech entrepreneur, shares his methodical 9-month strategy for building investor relationships before ever making an ask. His approach centers on authentic networking, professional preparation, and timing—spending months connecting with VCs, angel investors, and wealth management professionals on LinkedIn without revealing his funding intentions.

A funding commitment within weeks of launching his campaign. Jay's story demonstrates that successful fundraising isn't about cold outreach—it's about relationship building, consistent value delivery, and strategic patience that pays off when you're ready to make your move. The episode is packed with Jay's real stories—the good, the messy, and everything in between.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 748 Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety? Neuro-Rewiring Expert Mike Zeller joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state. "Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller

Marketing expert Seth Greene joins host Bradley Hamner to share powerful strategies for small business owners looking to elevate their operations beyond day-to-day tasks. From his unique journey as a musical theater student turned marketing authority, Seth reveals how direct response marketing principles can transform businesses and why understanding your target market is crucial for sustainable growth.Seth Greene is the founder of Market Domination LLC, a direct response marketing agency he's operated for 18 years. He co-hosts the Sharkpreneur podcast with Kevin from Shark Tank and transformed his own career using Dan Kennedy's marketing principles, going from last-ranked advisor at a Fortune 500 company to top 30 nationwide in just two years.Seth emphasizes that successful marketing starts with a fundamental principle from Dan Kennedy: "The business that can spend the most to acquire a customer wins." This shifts focus from traditional brand building to measurable, direct response marketing that delivers trackable results.Understanding Your Target MarketThe conversation highlights the critical importance of knowing where your audience spends their time. Seth advises business owners to "fish where the fish are" by selecting marketing platforms based on actual audience demographics rather than personal preferences or popular trends.Self-Liquidating Offers (SLOs)One of the most powerful strategies discussed is the concept of getting paid to acquire customers through Self-Liquidating Offers. This approach allows businesses to offset customer acquisition costs while building their customer base.The Trust ChallengeSeth addresses the modern marketing challenge of decreasing consumer trust and longer sales cycles. He stresses the importance of middle-funnel nurturing processes and fixing operational issues before scaling lead generation efforts.Lead Magnets That WorkThe discussion covers creating effective lead magnets that are "useful but incomplete" - providing genuine value while naturally leading prospects toward your paid offerings.Thanks to our sponsors...BlueprintOS equips business owners to design and install an operating system that runs like clockwork.

Send us a textThe 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is already underway—and it's expected to be an active one, with forecasts calling for 17 to 25 named storms, up to 13 hurricanes, and as many as 7 major hurricanes. For Florida's community associations, that means flood preparedness is no longer optional—it's urgent.In this episode of Take It to the Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger welcomes Maurice Huffman, inventor of StormBag—a revolutionary, sandless sandbag that's changing the way neighborhoods and HOAs prepare for storms. Fresh off his appearance on Shark Tank Season 15, where he secured a $200,000 deal from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, Maurice shares the story behind StormBag, how it works, and why it's gaining traction across Florida and beyond.Unlike traditional sandbags, StormBags start out as lightweight, compact one-pound pouches that expand to 32-pound barriers when soaked in water—thanks to a polymer that absorbs 300 times its weight.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 746 Are you ready to reconfigure your past and reimagine humanity's future through the power of outrageous love? Visionary Philosopher Marc Gafni joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 746, to guide you from mythic narratives of soul mates to the co-creative vision of whole mates: evolutionary partners in service of the cosmos. Learn how the gift of suffering becomes the pathway to transcendence, why raising children is a spiritual act of embodiment, and how solving humanity's value crisis can spark a galactic awakening. "Soulmate relationships don't work. They're insufficient. If a couple is not looking at a shared horizon and they are only looking deeply in each other's eyes, it will not work. Whole mates are not just looking deeply in each other's eyes. They're first looking at a shared horizon, a shared mission. They're looking at the whole. They're in a relationship to the whole. And then from there, they turn back and look at each other." - Marc Gafni In This Episode, Marc Gafni Uncovers: [01:20] Outrageous Love Marc Gafni Why 'I love you' is our sacred creed. How facing death puts us in our visceral truth. Why we've lost connection to the meaning of 'I love you.' The difference between ordinary love and outrageous love. How love allows us to give our unique gifts. When we're in love, we feel welcome in the cosmos. Why reality is not a fact but an outrageous love story. How reality is generated. [09:50] What Is Evolution? Whole Mate by Marc Gafni The three levels of knowing. How we get lost in the complexity, which blocks us from seeing the depth. Every place we've been, we needed to be. Why every detour is part of the destination. How reality has mathematical, musical, molecular, metabolic, moral, and mystical values. Why reality is movement towards transformation. Evolution is love in action in response to need. How becoming what reality intended us to be, divinity experiences self-recognition through us. If we don't have the experience that we matter, our mind, heart, and body break down. [20:20] The Three Faces of God Why the God we don't believe in doesn't exist. The importance of the word 'God.' Why outrageous love is not a response to another person but the love that moves through us. The three faces of God: first, second, and third person. Neil deGrasse Tyson How religions show the faces of God. [29:50] New World Why we're in a time between worlds. How 40% of AI researchers believe that AI could destroy all humanity. 692 Paul Chek | Spirit Gym: How To Find The Truth of Your Soul + Live Your Dream How we can create a new story of values for the world. [35:45] Divine Loneliness Why God is lonely. How we need separation to create intimacy. What it means to be lonely. How Marc's son made him see the human singularity. The importance of knowing our soul print. How we cover up our emptiness by getting our attention hijacked. Why we need to sit in loneliness in order to fill up with our soul print. The divine is being, spaciousness, and becoming. Why evolution is a love story of the universe. How wholeness comes from brokenness. [47:25] Pseudo-Eros + Shame Why pornography is pseudo-Eros. How pornography is explicit sexuality taken out of the context of a story. Why our relationship to essence is always sensual. How our shame tells a story that we're wrong. Why a great saint makes new mistakes. The meaning of the word 'hallelujah.' [56:10] From Soul Mate to Whole Mate Why soulmate relationships don't work. Evolution of Love from Quarks to Culture by Marc Gafni, Zak Stein + Elena Levin Why reality is evolution, relationships, and the evolution of relationships.

The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell + John Gray How each one of us has a role within a relationship in order to survive and thrive. Love Story (1970) [01:11:50] How Movies Tell The Story of Reality How the Matrix movie displays a whole mate relationship. The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman Why Mars and Venus Collide by John Gray Getting The Love You Want by Harville Hendrix How love replaced our values. Why sexuality is not personal but universal. The importance of having a shared vision as a couple. Social Physics by Alex Pentland Why most children don't believe in love anymore. Sapiens by Harari Yuval Noah [01:30:35] Raising Children As Whole Mates 744 Debra Silverman | Your Pain Has a Pattern… and Astrology Reveals It All (This Isn't Random) What embodiment feels like. Why raising children is more than a role mate part. How we can serve the larger whole. Phenomenology of Eros by Jonna Bornemark + Marcia Sa Cavalcante Schuback The reason why most relationships don't work. Why monogamy is a practice.

[01:42:15] Our Deepest Desires Our Divine Desires Why God is the intimate infinite. How creating a new intimacy creates a new God. Why spirituality and religion must come together. How our desire to become more intimate comes from God. [01:48:55] The Purpose of Evolution Why the purpose of evolution is the evolution of love. How the evolution of love is the evolution of God. Why whole mates are evolutionary partners. An atom is a new value of intimacy. How we move from matter to life. Why power gives us pleasure and dignity. How we can impact the whole world. Why we're never powerless. Enlightenment means to know the nature of reality. [01:58:55] Reconfigure Your Past What creates a capacity to transform. How we can get beneath time. Why we can undo our mistakes. How transforming our will transforms our deeds. [02:07:10] New Humanity + Existential Risks How we can practice love in the moments of pain. Why the universe feels love. How outrageous lovers commit outrageous acts of love. Why war is not inevitable. We can create a new human and a new humanity. How the cosmos is moving towards more goodness. What existential risks we're facing as humanity. Reimagining Humanity's Identity: Responding to the Second Shock of Existence by Marc Gafni + Zachary Stein Why evolution doesn't stop. [02:17:05] Solving Value How the process of getting deeper is our joy. First Principles and First Values by David J. Temple Why there are different qualities of love. How the new age community doesn't do the deep work. Why we need to solve the value to create a change in the world. [02:25:30] What Is Value? How the source code is corrupted because the story of value has gotten lost. Why we need to go to the source code to clarify our values. What makes us question ourselves. How reality desires to evolve the source code. Why we're on the edge of a galactic moment. Avatar (2009) Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts
