What does it take to turn an idea into a game-changing product? In this episode, Hayley Segar, founder of Onewith Swim, shares how she created a swimsuit brand that fits like underwear after struggling to find the perfect fit. From a lightbulb moment in 2019 to overcoming self-doubt, Hayley's journey was fueled by creativity, persistence, and belief in her vision. Hayley opens up about the challenges she faced, from maxing out credit cards to pitching on Shark Tank. Despite the odds, she kept pushing forward, trusting her intuition and eventually landing two investors. Hayley's story is proof that with perseverance and belief in your idea, anything is possible. Tune in to hear how she made her dream a reality and what you can learn from her entrepreneurial journey! "You have to love your business so much that even on your worst days as a founder, you wouldn't trade it." ~Hayley Segar About Hayley Segar: Hayley Segar always loved fashion—but hated swimwear. Nothing ever fit right—until one day in 2019, after a frustrating try-on session, she said out loud: “I just want a swimsuit that fits like my favorite no-show underwear.” That lightbulb moment sparked Onewith Swim. Launched in 2021, Onewith created swimwear designed to fit like seamless underwear: dig-free, elastic-free, and edgeless. It's gone viral for solving a problem most women didn't think could be solved—and in 2025, Hayley brought the brand to Shark Tank, landing a deal with Barbara Corcoran and Jamie Kern Lima.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Mike Shannon. Picture this: On a Friday night, you're 22 years old, standing in front of 8 million viewers on Shark Tank, shaking hands with Mark Cuban after closing a deal for your startup. The next morning? You're back in the Chicago Bulls locker room, folding towels and doing laundry like nothing happened. This is the extraordinary double life that our guest Mike Shannon lived while building his first company. By day, he was pitching investors and building a start-up. By night, he was mopping floors during Bulls games and running errands for NBA superstars. It's a story that perfectly captures the wild contradictions of entrepreneurship—where dreams and reality collide in the most unexpected ways. Mike Shannon is the CEO and co-founder of Impruve, an AI-native operating system built for financial advisors. Before launching Impruve, he co-founded Packback, an AIpowered education platform used by millions of students and recognized by TIME as a Top EdTech Company and by Fast Company as one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies. Over 12 years, he scaled the business from scrappy startup to $20M ARR and a $50M+ acquisition. Earlier in his career, Mike appeared on Shark Tank and secured a deal with Mark Cuban. His entrepreneurial journey began—uniquely—while living a double life as an NBA ball boy and evolved through years navigating the highs and lows of startup life. Those stories are captured in his upcoming book, Sweaty Equity: A Ball Boy, a Billionaire, and the Bonkers Startup Tale You've Never Heard. Mike holds a B.S. in Finance from Illinois State University and sits on the board of directors for Future Founders, a nonprofit supporting thousands of aspiring young entrepreneurs nationwide. He lives in Chicago with his wife and two young boys.

It's all inside, without the gatekeeping and without the overwhelm.Ashley Thompson transformed cold oatmeal into a powerhouse brand sold in over 12,000 retail locations, scaling MUSH from a farmers market stall to a national favorite with the help of a pivotal Shark Tank deal. Joining Lindsay Pinchuk in this episode, the MUSH founder shares how she left a fast-track finance career at Goldman Sachs at 24 to build a mission-driven business from the ground up, without a business plan, outside funding, or prior food experience.Ashley recounts the early hustle of handmaking oats in her kitchen, demoing at local shops, and delivering products herself, all while using direct customer feedback to refine the brand. She explains how MUSH landed on Whole Foods shelves, survived a Shark Tank-fueled surge that nearly shut down the business, and ultimately scaled through smart automation and a disciplined, capital-efficient approach.This episode shows what shaped Ashley's choices as MUSH grew, from holding off on new products for years to building a team that could support large-scale growth across Target, Costco, and Kroger. She explains what helped her stay focused, how she made decisions with limited resources, and what she's still learning about leading a brand at scale.

Robert Herjavec. Even if you don't know (or can't pronounce) his name, you recognize him from Shark Tank. He's made hundreds of millions of dollars from his various entrepreneurial ventures and investments. In this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I react to a clip of him talking about how he once always wanted just that much more - a faster car, then a jet, then a nicer jet - Until he finally realized why those material things won't make him happy. I had a similar realization myself and I, like Robert, now use my money to fuel my purpose and fulfill my vision, rather than flaunt my wealth. There's nothing wrong with having wealth, but if buying everything you can only makes you unhappy, you need to do the inner work to find what matters to you. Click here to watch this video.
From Hollywood stuntman to tech founder saving lives—Kenny Kelley's journey is anything but ordinary. In this powerful episode, he shares how a motorcycle accident led him to create a game-changing safety tech company that's revolutionizing workplace protection. We sat down with Kenny Kelley, founder and CEO of Silent Beacon, a personal safety technology company helping protect vulnerable workers through panic button solutions. Kenny's journey to become to tech entrepreneur is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and listening to the market. He shares the origin story of Silent Beacon and the hard-earned lessons that came with funding, product-market fit, and scaling in regulated industries like healthcare. Kenny opens up about surviving the startup trenches, rebounding from naysayers, and why feedback is the fuel behind every innovation. If you've ever faced rejection, doubted your vision, or wondered how to pivot with purpose, this one's for you. Here are highlights: A Stuntman's Wake-Up Call: After a motorcycle accident left him unable to reach his phone, Kenny realized the tech gap in personal emergency response. From Shark Tank to Strategic Capital: Kenny passed on a Shark Tank deal to partner with a seasoned business mentor, prioritizing long-term guidance over fast fame. The Reality of Go-to-Market Missteps: Kenny candidly discusses how his initial launch strategy flopped and how shifting from B2C to B2B in regulated industries transformed his company's trajectory. The Power of Listening (Especially to “No”): Silent Beacon 2.0 wasn't born from flashy features. It was built by fixing what users hated. Kenny explains how product evolution is all about humble iteration. Protecting the Protectors: With alarming statistics on workplace assaults in healthcare, Kenny outlines how Silent Beacon is helping nurses, social workers, and educators feel safer on the job. About the guest: Kenny Kelley is the founder and CEO of Silent Beacon LLC. He began his entrepreneurial journey as a Hollywood motorcycle stuntman and founder of Adrenaline Crew LLC, where he produced videos and led teams of daredevil riders in live, on-road stunt shows that gained a global following online and at major events. After a serious motorcycle crash left him unable to reach his phone and call for help, the idea for Silent Beacon was born — a wearable, one-touch safety device that can instantly contact any number, including 911, and share your GPS location in real time.

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.

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. By the time he launched his official raise, he had built a network of 1,000+ qualified connections who were already familiar with his name and progress. The result? 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. If you're tired of hearing the same old "perfect your pitch deck" advice and want to know how relationships actually get built before you need the money, this one's for you.

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
