Shark Tank

One of my new favorite shows is Shark Tank on ABC - I can’t get enough of it!  In case you haven’t heard of it, its a new adaptation of a Japanese reality show (there’s also a British version) where hopeful entrepreneurs pitch their product/idea/service to 5 successful business people in hopes of getting a lucrative »
