Mark Cuban called me a "scam" on Shark Thank just 18 seconds into my pitch on Shark Tank. In this raw, behind-the-scenes interview, founder Ryan Naylor shares the full story of his Shark Tank experience, from the moment an executive producer gave him last-second advice that changed everything, to the brutal on-air rejection and the shocking online harassment that targeted his family afterward. This conversation is a must-watch for any founder who has dreamed of going on Shark Tank. You'll learn the reality behind the reality show, the story of the trademark lawsuit from Exxon Mobil that shut down his business, and how he used that public failure as the motivation to build VIVAHR, his new purpose-driven company that helps small businesses hire better.
