Shark Tank
I was asked to consider being a judge on Shark Tank but I passed. I have met Mark Burnett several times and he thought I would do well on this show.
I thought the commitment was too time intensive and I didn’t want the hyper public scrutiny of being on network television. I watched the show Sunday night and thought it was fun and fairly realistic although most deals take six months to conclude NOT six minutes and they certainly aren’t proposed in an auction kind of environment that favors the businessman not the investor.
