Shark Tank's Greatest Gift to Contestants Isn't Money, Barbara Corcoran Says
When entrepreneurs go on "Shark Tank," of course they're looking for the financial backing—but Barbara Corcoran reveals another gift the show offers.
"I thought I had seen it all, but this year, we actually had tremendously young entrepreneurs on—and every single one said 'I've been watching you since I was a kid,' [which] made me realize the gift of my position. I realized as they said to me, 'We believed in ourselves...we decided to take a chance...I quit my job because...' that they kept mentioning 'Shark Tank.' So, I felt like I helped them changed their lives. This is more than giving money," says Barbara.
