Insights from the Shark Tank

My interview with Leslie Haywood and Heath Hall was great. Leslie is a stay at home mom and inventor/CEO of Grill Charms. Heath Hall and his partner Brett Thompson are lawyers on Capitol Hill and founders of Pork Barrel BBQ.

Both of my guests received venture capital from investors on the ABC hit show, Shark Tank. We discussed some the challenges they encountered while bringing their products to market and what it felt like behind the scenes with the sharks.

One thing that stood out during the interview was Leslie’s answer to my question,”What kept you going?” when she was trying to develop a successful prototype of her product. Her answer, “Fear.”

She was afraid that one day she would see that product on the shelves in a store and someone else would have created it. She did not want to live with that regret.

Wondered how many entrepreneurs feel that way. Your thoughts?
