Podcasts about Shark Tank

Quite a Friday! News breaks former CNN journalist Don Lemon has been arrested during today's show. Stigall speaks one on one to Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank fame about Trump Accounts and why even his friend Mark Cuban can't find fault with it. Speaking of Cuban - President Trump puts the squeeze on Cuba by cutting off their oil supply from Venezuela then tariffing anyone else who sells Cuba oil. Once again, the Donroe Doctrine is at work and reordering order in the Western Hemisphere without firing a single shot. Stigall explains today. It's also school choice week and we celebrate with a brilliant new online alternative working with A.I. called Optima Academy. Meet their founder and CEO. The fake show in Minneapolis is starting to unravel and President Trump calls it out as does Joe Rogan. And there's no denying the structure of the global economy is shifting violently courtesy of President Trump's tariff agenda. Hear the details from his cabinet meeting yesterday. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Stigall reports live from Washington, D.C., on President Trump's launch of Trump Accounts—a transformative program providing $1,000 seed investment accounts for newborns starting in 2026, with families and employers able to contribute up to $5,000 annually in tax-advantaged savings. Harnessing compound interest and stock market growth, these accounts could build six-figure sums by age 18 and potentially millions by retirement, fostering financial literacy, ownership in capitalism, and generational wealth.Chris interviews Treasury Chief Counsel Joe Lavorgna on the program's mechanics, employer contributions, access at 18 for major life steps like homeownership or education, and its role in democratizing capitalism while countering anti-free-market narratives. Senator Ted Cruz highlights the accounts' inclusion in the Working Families Tax Cut, their synergy with school choice provisions, and the potential to create a new generation of young capitalists invested in economic success.Kevin O'Leary ("Mr. Wonderful" from Shark Tank) praises the bipartisan appeal, early financial education benefits, and efficiency in addressing retirement shortfalls compared to traditional systems. Senator Marsha Blackburn explains practical steps for families via IRS Form 4547, the free-market messaging, and ties to broader fiscal priorities amid debates over government funding and DHS.A Faith and Freedom 250 segment underscores Christian education's vital role in uniting faith, reason, and moral truth to equip young people for purposeful lives amid cultural confusion.00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:02 - Trump Accounts Explained00:02:19 - Free Market Benefits00:03:58 - How to Sign Up00:05:22 - Tariffs and Economic Policy00:07:52 - Economic Outlook for 202600:09:49 - Senator Ted Cruz Interview00:11:36 - School Choice and Shutdown Risks00:14:05 - Kevin O'Leary Interview00:16:56 - Financial Literacy Impact00:20:53 - Senator Marsha Blackburn Interview00:23:16 - Government Funding Debate00:25:49 - Faith and Freedom 250Follow The Lion on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.

Theory meets tarmac. Sushmitha "Sushi" Radhakrishnan runs finance and operations at Birddogs, the men's apparel brand born from a Shark Tank moment that's now selling through Dick's Sporting Goods. She breaks down what cash flow actually looks like when summer—not holidays—is your Super Bowl, tariffs hit mid-growth, and every trend cycle could make or break a season.Key takeaways:Seasonal brands need capital access during revenue troughs, not just peaksMulti-channel operations demand different buying cycles—wholesale plans months ahead while DTC converts in hoursSpeed separates winners in apparel—trends change faster than traditional finance approval loopsSmall teams need executive-level spend control with rapid scalability for growth momentsKey Quotes:Sushi Radhakrishnan [00:14:49]: "Because we are a seasonal business, having access to credit cards like a Brex where we have charge cards—in those situations when we're in our cash flow troughs, having that extra flexibility is really critical to us. There's a six month period where we have to have really good months because that's what funds the business in the lower months."Sushi Radhakrishnan [00:20:28]: "This is my first foray into apparel and selling it online and trends change so quickly. A winning product—it's definitely a very dynamic environment to operate in."Sushi Radhakrishnan [00:18:12]: "We move really fast. Getting that feedback loop shortened is really important when we're managing cash. That's been refreshing with Brex—the support we're getting from a credit card provider. I don't have that same level of one on one service with American Express."Sushi Radhakrishnan [00:23:22]: "People buy apparel based on emotion, not just because they see it come across their Instagram reel. It's really important that we continue to appeal to our buyers in a way that's more than just selling the value prop of our product."Associated Links:Learn more about BrexLearn more about MelioCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

If you're stuck between having a startup and having something investors actually want to fund, this episode is for you. Our guest, Kevin Nesgoda—CEO of OutPaged and recent Founder Institute grad—dives into the messy middle of startup life, where great ideas often die without the right pressure, feedback, and mindset shift. After years of daydreaming and building but still feeling stuck between "interesting" and "investable," Kevin joined an accelerator to stress-test everything. Hear what broke, what shifted, and what finally clicked—plus his advice on resilience, determination, and what's needed to push through.  Topics Covered; Why most founders aren't actually fundable yet and how accelerators like Founders Institute expose the gap (and what they want in return) What surviving cancer taught Kevin about building a startup  How OutPaged went from "cool product" to investable business The mindset change that happens when you stop pitching and start pressure-testing your model Why early founders misunderstand what investors are really evaluating The B2C vs B2B framing decision that can make or break your raise What mentors and investor reviews reveal that you can't see from inside your own startup Why the solo-founder myth slows momentum and increases risk How team design becomes a signal of scale readiness What rejection teaches you when you treat it like data, not failure How accelerators prepare you for capital, not just Demo Day The difference between building something exciting and building something fundable Guest Bio Kevin Nesgoda is the CEO at OutPaged and a recent graduate of The Founders Institute. OutPaged is the platform that turns books into living, breathing worlds. It uses AI to pull apart character arcs, emotional threads, and world logic, then rebuilds them into immersive experiences through AR and XR. Kevin has talked to over 100 publishers, authors, and media founders. Everyone feels the same thing: it is time for a new chapter in storytelling.

The idea came after a breakup left her struggling to carry groceries alone through the obstacle course that was her Los Angeles condo complex. Realizing how common this struggle was, Kim set out to create a simple yet game-changing solution—not just for shoppers, but for seniors with dexterity challenges, travelers schlepping many bags, and athletes hauling gear. What began as a personal necessity has grown into a versatile product with nearly limitless applications. Before launching her own business, Kim built a successful career in medical device and pharmaceutical sales, working with companies like Medtronic and ACADIA Pharmaceuticals. But two breast cancer diagnoses—in 2012 and again in 2021—caused her to reevaluate everything. Those experiences gave her the courage to leave her corporate life behind and go all-in on her invention. Her perseverance paid off: Click & Carry has since landed deals with massive retailers like Albertsons, Lowe's, and Tractor Supply Company. Click & Carry has also been featured on

Billie Asmus was tired of plastic paint liners, half-used trays drying out overnight, and trying to save paint with foil and plastic bags, so she started messing around in her basement to see if she could make something better. That curiosity turned into a reusable paint tray, a lot of Google searches, a year of prototyping and manufacturing, and eventually a moment standing in the Shark Tank longer than expected, fighting for the right partners. In this conversation, Billie walks through what it actually looked like to build the RePaint Tray from scratch, what surprised her most about running a product-based business, and how listening to everyday painters shaped both the product and the community that grew around it.Billie Asmus is the founder of RePaint Studios and the creator of the RePaint Tray, a reusable paint tray designed to make painting less wasteful and easier to pick back up.

President Trump is touting a strong economy while promising new measures to tackle affordability. However, a major part of his agenda could be dealt a blow as an imminent Supreme Court ruling is expected to redefine the president's tariff authority. If the High Court rules against the administration's reciprocal tariffs, it could mean companies are entitled to billions in refunds. O'Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O'Leary joined the Rundown's Jessica Rosenthal this week to discuss the potential fallout of the ruling, the growing concerns over the cost of living, and why he remains optimistic about the direction of the economy. O'Leary explained how he would adjust the President's tariff strategy and shared his advice for Washington on addressing the affordability crisis. The Shark Tank star also discussed why investing in energy infrastructure is vital to growing the U.S. economy and competing with China. We often have to cut our interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.

It's 2026, and it's a good time to refresh your fundraising mindset. Budgets are fresh, investors are considering where to put their money, and LinkedIn is buzzing about how "now is the window."  If you position yourself correctly, you could have closed your funding round by June. But no matter how much motivation you have, or how fired up investors are, founders are still being held back by basic, really simple gaps in their approach. Gaps that seem minor but quietly cost you momentum, meetings, and ultimately the funding you need. Most founders don't lose deals because the idea isn't good enough. They lose them because of what's missing in their strategies (even if they have a great business or idea).  So before you send another pitch deck or book another investor meeting, there's a simple exercise you can do to make sure you're not getting ruled out before the conversation even starts. What are investors noticing that you're too close to see? What might be quietly stopping them from ever responding? In this episode, we walk through a simple but confronting exercise every founder should do before sending another pitch.   Topics Covered; Why most pitch decks fail before the first meeting even happens The exercise that exposes hidden deal-breakers fast Why paragraphs, jargon, and over-explaining silently kill investor interest How to clearly answer the real question investors care about The credibility gap founders underestimate and how to close it without revenue How unrealistic valuations signal self-awareness problems, not confidence The difference between how founders think investors evaluate deals and how they actually do The true barrier to fundraising (not market conditions)     About Your Host Jayla Siciliano, Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor, excels in building brands, teams, and products.

In this episode, Travis talks with serial entrepreneur and private equity operator Eddie Wilson, known as the “King of Exits” for owning more than 140 companies and successfully exiting over 100 of them. Eddie breaks down how he went from corporate media to running a 30‑company portfolio, created the Empire Operating System, and co-built the Aspire Tour, the nation's largest business event series.​ On this episode we talk about: How Eddie went from third‑generation real estate kid and corporate TV/radio executive to starting an ad agency, exiting it, and then suddenly helping operate a portfolio of 30+ companies The Foot Locker “measure-the-feet” story, how it inspired his Brick concept, and how extreme focus on one core metric evolved into the Empire Operating System now used across thousands of companies​​ Scaling from 30 to 86 portfolio companies, then selling 76 of them in a single year to ~20 different buyers—while only owning a minority stake and learning how to systematize exits Why he and Andrew Kroeze built Aspire Tour as a front-end community and lead engine for financial services (tax, insurance, wealth) and how they fill arenas with speakers like David Goggins, Gary Vee, and Shark Tank sharks while often losing money on the event itself​ Eddie's deeper “why” behind all of it—his Impact Others nonprofit that feeds and educates ~5,300 kids a day in 100+ countries and runs massive projects like providing Christmas morning for 18,000+ children worldwide​​ Top 3 Takeaways Systems are the only way to scale and exit repeatedly; Eddie's Empire Operating System grew out of real portfolio pain and now focuses each company around a single “brick” metric that drives everything else. Big, sexy front-end plays like Aspire are often loss leaders—what matters is the lifetime value created when you plug those attendees into masterminds, tax strategy, insurance, and other high-value services. Money alone gets boring; tying business growth to a bigger mission—like feeding thousands of kids daily through Impact Others—creates the kind of purpose that keeps you building even after you could retire. Notable Quotes “I realized I could do what I do—but at scale.” “Aspire is really just aggregation. It's the community that lets us serve people with financial services long after the event ends.” “Success without impact left me empty; Impact Others is what keeps me going.” Connect with Eddie Wilson: Personal site & bio: https://officialew.com​ Operating system: https://empireom.com​ Business tour (Aspire): https://aspiretour.com​ Nonprofit: https://impactothers.com  ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Mark Cuban approaches healthcare the same way he approaches every industry he enters: by assuming something essential is missing and then asking who benefits from keeping it that way. In American medicine, he believes that missing ingredient is transparency. Not better messaging, not smarter incentives, but simple visibility into how prices are set, who gets paid and who gets taken advantage of. Cuban is a lifelong healthcare outsider. He is a billionaire entrepreneur, NBA championship team owner and longtime Shark Tank investor. That's what makes him the perfect guest for Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare with cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. This season's guests have massive online audiences, but their value isn't just reach. It's their ability to listen closely to what millions of patients are experiencing, then translate those insights back into the broader medical conversation. Few guests embody that better than Cuban. He has quickly become one of the system's most incisive critics by paying attention to what patients, employers and clinicians repeatedly say is broken. That mindset led to the creation of Cost Plus Drugs, a pharmacy built on an idea that sounds radical only because healthcare has drifted so far from it. Show patients the actual cost of a medication, add a flat 15% markup and eliminate the opaque middlemen who thrive in the dark. In this conversation, Cuban explains how a cold email from a physician opened his eyes to how hidden pharmaceutical pricing had become and why opacity itself became the opportunity. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE INTERVIEW Why drug prices are detached from reality. Cuban breaks down how widely used medications, including GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per month despite far lower manufacturing costs. The driver, he argues, is not innovation or scarcity, but a system dominated by pharmacy benefit managers whose rebate structures reward insurers and intermediaries while excluding patients. How patients bear the greatest financial harm. With concrete examples, Cuban explains how people in deductible phases, especially those on ACA plans, often pay full retail prices while rebates flow elsewhere. Costs are spread across millions of plan holders, but the financial pain lands on the people who actually need care. Why healthcare's complexity is intentional. From fax machines to prior authorization delays, Cuban argues that administrative friction is not accidental. It protects incumbents, drains clinician time and forces providers into the role of “subprime lenders,” all while patients struggle to navigate a system designed to obscure accountability. What he tells CEOs behind closed doors. Cuban outlines the first questions he asks corporate leaders about their pharmacy benefits, why most are not receiving the rebates they believe they are and how audits are often structured to reveal as little as possible. Transparency, he says, is the first step toward leverage. A blueprint beyond pharmaceuticals. The discussion extends into hospitals, insurance design and employer-based coverage, including Cuban's work on cost-plus wellness contracts that publish negotiated rates so others can replicate them. His goal is not dominance. It is forcing the system to respond by making its incentives visible. Throughout the episode, Cuban's message is blunt and consistent. Healthcare does not need more jargon, better marketing or marginal tweaks. It needs sunlight. Once pricing, incentives and risk are exposed, many of the system's most entrenched practices become much harder to justify. * * * Fixing Healthcare is a co-production of Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. Subscribe to the show via Apple, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you find podcasts.

Getting an investor to fund your business isn't just about your idea, industry, team, or even your business model.  What can help or tank your efforts often comes down to how you show up in the room.  Your mindset, how you handle the power dynamics, and whether you actually see yourself as the one offering value, not asking for it. The truth is that many founders operate from a place of desperation, and investors can sense it immediately. You lose sight of the fact that you and your business are the prize. You treat the investor like a boss, not a peer, or you say your schedule is completely open. You come across as overly eager or grateful for the opportunity.  These are all things that quietly make an investor pull back, even if the idea itself is strong. If you walk into investor conversations acting like you're asking for permission instead of offering an opportunity, getting funding is harder.  This is something founder-turned-angel investor Shefqet Avdullau knows all too well. As a super-connector with deep experience on both sides of the table, he brings a rare perspective shaped by building, exiting, and now backing companies. How should founders actually show up in investor conversations? How do you know when an investor will help you build something, or quietly make things harder? In this episode, we unpack the parts of fundraising no one puts on the pitch deck: why desperation is detectable (and deadly), why treating investors like they're above you destroys leverage, and why confidence is often what really moves a round forward.    Topics Covered; Why fundraising fails before the pitch even begins How to avoid looking desperate to investors  The subtle signals investors read instantly, including desperation and lack of leverage How to engineer FOMO using calendar density and scarcity Why "owning the elephant in the room" builds more trust than perfect metrics ever will The soft-commit strategy founders should use before officially opening a round Why a bad investor is often 10x worse than no investor The SAFE agreement mistake that can cost you your company Why easy yeses are a red flag, not a win The "two-week vacation test" reveals if you've got a company or a stressful job How founders accidentally become bottlenecks About the Guest  Shefqet Avdullau is a founder, active angel investor, board advisor, and "super connector," primarily in the tech ecosystem.

In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two powerful conversations centered on ownership, discipline, and the standards required to build a life that lasts. First, Daymond John shares his journey from Queens, New York, to becoming a global entrepreneur, branding icon, and original Shark on Shark Tank. With just $40, Daymond built FUBU, proving that resourcefulness, humility, and relentless hustle matter more than perfect conditions. He breaks down how finding your burn, adapting your pitch, rejecting ego, and staying intentional are essential to building momentum—not just in business, but in life. Daymond also reflects on fatherhood, legacy, and why becoming a lifelong learner is non-negotiable for sustained success.Then, Ben welcomes back financial coach Hillary Seiler for a deep conversation on money, mindset, and daily standards. Drawing from her work with NFL locker rooms, NCAA programs, and corporate leaders, Hillary explains why financial freedom is never just about numbers—it's about discipline and structure. She opens up about losing her mom at a young age, the role her father played in shaping her values, and how those experiences fueled her mission and her upcoming book, Train Your Money. Together, they tackle the fears that keep people stuck financially and outline how accountability, habits, and intentional action allow YOU to take control of YOUR money—and ultimately, YOUR life._______________________Watch Here: https://youtu.be/2AyUJ1JtZwsListen Here: https://www.theburnpodcast.com_______________________Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben's latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
