In this week’s episode, we discuss landing a deal on Shark Tank, how to start a company and raise capital, and how to use calculated risks to succeed. We are joined by Neal Hoffman, the creator of Mensch on a Bench, a wildly successful holiday toy for the better part of a decade. Some of the topics discussed: Starting a business, raising capital from investors, how to sell yourself, thinking differently, being willing to put it all on the line, how to pitch investors even if they aren’t in your space, and how to accomplish your dreams.
