I
don’t mind admitting that Shark Tank is flat-out addictive. Essentially, five “sharks” — billionaires or
multimillionaires looking to invest money — listen to pitches from
entrepreneurs seeking capital for their businesses. Sometimes the entrepreneurs’ ideas are so bad
that the sharks will ridicule these people to the point of making them cry. Other times, the business ideas have such
profit potential that the sharks will fight each other for an ownership stake
in the entrepreneur’s company. Yes, I
love Shark Tank, but probably not for the reason I’m supposed to.
