@coinbureau You’re telling me that Druski and Joe Budden didn’t really hit those bets in that PrizePicks ad I saw on tv last season?

Scrub Daddy gave up 20% of their company on Shark Tank for $200,000

That 20% is now worth over $50,000,000

The founder handed eight figures to a billionaire on national television because nobody told him he could get $200K from Chase at 0% interest with zero equity in 15 minutes

Every season of Shark Tank is a masterclass in how to destroy generational wealth on camera

Bombas gave up 17.5% for $200K. The company did $100M+ in revenue. That 17.5% became worth north of $50M. For $200K. That they could have put on business cards

Zipz Wine gave up 10% for $400K. Meanwhile the Ring doorbell guy walked into the same room, Kevin O'Leary tried to take his equity, and he said no. Turned the Sharks down on national television. Kept 100% of his company. Then sold Ring to Amazon for over $1 billion. He's the only founder in Shark Tank history who understood what his equity was actually worth

The rest of them walked into a room full of billionaires and traded permanent ownership of their life's work for an amount of money that Chase, Amex, and Capital One hand out every single day to anyone with a 700 score and an LLC

The math is so violent it's almost funny

$200K from a Shark: you lose 20% of every dollar your company ever makes. Forever. If the company hits $10M in revenue the Shark's cut is $2M a year. If it hits $100M that's $20M a year. Flowing out of your pocket into a billionaire's pocket because you needed $200K in 2012

$200K from 0% business cards: you owe $200K. You pay it back in 12 to 15 months. Interest: $0. Equity given up: 0%. You keep 100% of your company forever. The bank gets their $200K back and never sees another dollar from your business

One path costs you $200K. The other path costs you $50M+

The exact stack to replace any Shark Tank deal:

Chase Ink Business Unlimited: $30K to $50K at 0% for 12 months
Chase Ink Business Cash: $25K to $45K at 0% for 12 months
Amex Blue Business Plus: $25K to $50K at 0% for 12 months
Capital One Spark Cash: $20K to $40K at 0% for 15 months
US Bank Triple Cash: $20K to $35K at 0% for 15 months
Bank of America Business Advantage: $20K to $40K at 0% for 15 months

Conservative total on a 720 score: $140K to $260K

That covers every single Shark Tank deal in the first 8 seasons. Not most of them. All of them. The average Shark Tank investment was $250K for 25% equity. You can match the dollar amount on credit cards and keep the 25%

"But Sharks bring connections, mentorship, distribution"

Mark Cuban invested in 85+ Shark Tank companies. Ask yourself how many of those founders have his personal cell phone. The answer is almost none of them. They got a 10-minute segment, a handshake, and a wire transfer. The "mentorship" is a production assistant emailing quarterly. The "connections" are an intro to someone on the Shark's team who manages 40 other portfolio companies. You're not getting mentored. You're getting managed

The distribution they offer (Lori's QVC placement, Daymond's retail network, Mark's digital channels) can be replaced by spending the $200K on paid ads, Amazon PPC, and TikTok Shop. You'll reach more customers through a $200K ad budget than through a 3-minute QVC segment that airs at 2am on a Tuesday

The real reason founders go on Shark Tank:

They don't know that 0% business credit exists. That's it. That's the entire reason

They think capital comes from either: (a) a bank loan at 10% with collateral, or (b) an investor who takes equity. Nobody ever showed them option (c): unsecured business credit cards at 0% interest, no collateral, no equity, approved in 12 minutes online

The $200K they begged for on national television while getting insulted by Kevin O'Leary was sitting at Chase the entire time. They just didn't know to look

And the Sharks know this. Every Shark on that panel has business credit cards. Every one of them uses 0% promotional capital in their own businesses. Cuban didn't build his wealth by giving equity to other billionaires. He used leverage. He used bank capital. He used other people's money at the lowest possible cost. Then he sits on a TV set and offers entrepreneurs the most expensive capital on earth (equity) and acts like he's doing them a favor

"I'll give you $200K for 25% of your company" is the most predatory sentence in business. At a 24% annual interest rate, $200K costs you $48K a year and you stop paying when the debt is cleared. At 25% equity on a $10M company, $200K costs you $2.5M a year and you never stop paying

An interest rate has an end date. Equity has no end date. You pay the Shark forever

The companies that should have used 0% cards instead of Sharks:

Any product company: use the $200K to buy initial inventory, run ads, and build sales velocity on Amazon or DTC. Pay the cards back from revenue in 6 to 10 months

Any service company: use the $200K on hiring and client acquisition. Service companies cash flow almost immediately. Pay the cards back from the first 3 months of client revenue

Any tech company pre-revenue: this is the one case where equity capital makes sense because there's no revenue to service the debt. But even here, $200K in 0% cards buys 12 to 15 months of runway without giving up a single share

Scrub Daddy could have put $200K on 4 business cards, bought inventory, landed the same retail placements (retailers don't care who your investor is, they care about your sell-through rate), and kept 100% of a company now worth half a billion dollars

Instead Aaron Krause shook Lori Greiner's hand on national television and gave her fifty million dollars for the price of a small house

Every founder who watches Shark Tank sees a dream. Every funding consultant who watches Shark Tank sees a crime scene lmfaooo

dm me "funding" and i'll show you how you can qualify for up to 250k in 0% APR funding (if you have a 700+)

I’ll let you kids in on a little secret when it comes to Div 1 football, especially during spring training. THAT’S THE HARDEST PART OF THE SEASON. Spring Ball is meant to weed out the mentally & physically soft. 5:30 am two hour workouts, followed by an entire day of class, tutors, and then practice at 3pm, followed by film sesh, study hall, and mandatory team dinner before you get home at 10 pm with the same homework and projects due as the frat boy who isn’t playing a sport. Also because you’re on athletic scholarship, some schools require a mandatory minimum GPA or you’re automatically cut from the team … And you’re expected to keep this schedule up 5-6 days a week for 3-4 months until summer & fall camp begins. If you’re mentally not committed you will not last 😂

This may seem like "woo woo" nonsense but if you want to alter the world around you, then you need to do this:

Everyday for the past 3 month I've written in cursive the story of my future self.

I write over and over that I already have the life I want want. More clients, more income, more success.

And guess what?

Everything I write freaking happens.

Do with this information what you want, but there is something powerful behind scripting your own future.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

Humming vibrates air through your sinuses and releases a burst of nitric oxide with every note.

Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.

She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.
