 Can I watch the past episodes?

Since the beginning of the Shark Tank in August 2009, there have been a lot of episodes. And when I say a lot, I mean it. Sadly, they are not available on any video platform (unless you pay for it, since it’s the property of ABC), and you can only find a few of them on the ABC official website (Watch the Shark Tank Online : http://watchabc.go.com/shark-tank/SH559076/VDKA0_g0j98dbp/week-23)

Fortunately, we happen to have a review of each episodes, on a case-by-case for each entrepreneurs coming on the Shark Tank.

Mark Cuban-Shark Tank Investor

Who is Marc Cuban?

Mark Cuban is an american businessman and investor. He owns Landmark Theatres, Magnolia Pictures, the Dallas Mavericks, and he is the chairman of the cable network AXS TV.

In his e-book, How to Win at the Sport of Business, Mark Cuban relates his experiences in business and sports, which are two sides of his personality.

In his business life, Mark Cuban can be qualified as a shark: his career is as long as sucessful, and he went through a lot of companies to get where he is now, a multi-billionnaire mugul.

In sport, though, Mark Cuban appears a lot more playful, but he still shows the same passion. He’s sitting with the supporters, close to the court, and he continuously yells at referee, which he has been fined for multiple times already (over $1 million).

Mark Cuban’s acting career has been filled enough to be mentionned : he has been in over than 10 series or movies, and over 20 if we include the time he was representing himself.

Marc Cuban in Shark Tank

As a Shark, Marc Cuban is often silent, but, when the entrepreneurs are presenting a product that attracts him, he really involves himself in asking questions, and you can then truly see his interest in something he likes/loves. As soon as he bites in the product, you can be sure that he will do his best to help you become sucessful.

Shark Tank- Marc Cuban’s quotes

His short yet inspiring quote reflects his mentality : “Love what you do or don’t do it”

Here’s a list of 10 of his quotes:

#1 Always ask yourself how someone could preempt your products or service.

#2 Always run your business like you are going to be competing with biggest technology companies in your

#3 The only thing any entrepreneur, salesperson or anyone in any position can control is their effort.

#4 Everyone has got the will to win; it’s only those with the will to prepare.

#5Win the battles you are in before you take on new battles.

#6 Treat your customers like they own you. Because they do.

#7 Moral of the story: Make your product easier to buy than your competition…

#8 The best salespeople are the ones who put themselves in their customer’s shoes and provide a solution

#9 Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them. Pay up for people in your core competencies.

#10 It’s not in the dreaming, it’s in the doing.

The Den is a hot spot for food deals: think Zane Caplansky's deli sandwiches (Season Six, Episode 7) or Holy Crap cereal (Season Five, Episode 7). And every great food pitch begins with a food audition.

This is my second year on the audition tour and I have been pitched food from coast to coast. I've taste-tested cheeseburgers, mushroom cookies, hot pickles, organic trout, rice and beans, mystery meat tubes, salads, and too many gluten-free products to remember - just to name a few. I have also sipped pear coolers, olive oil, avocado oil, and wines. And while I do consider myself lucky to have sampled so many delicious (and free) foods, I feel the need to share a few tips, just to get a couple things straight.

1. BRING THE FOOD

This should go without saying but, you have no idea how many times a Dragons' Den hopeful has pitched something like, the "world's best pizza", and then not brought it to their audition. If you're pitching food, you have an advantage over products or concepts that require imagination or explanation if it cannot be demonstrated in person. Plus, auditions don't allow for breaks, so by the time you audition to us we're most likely famished and/or dehydrated and anxiously awaiting a slice of your "world's best pizza". Bring it.

2. DON'T FEEL BAD IF THE PRODUCER DOESN'T GOBBLE UP YOUR PITCH

We can only eat so much in one day. The idea of sampling your über rich chocolate cake immediately after I've eaten questionable pickled herring and dubious onion-free onion rings, isn't a slight on you, it's me, and my now angry stomach. Also, some producers have allergies and food tastes that might not coincide with yours. Don't worry. There is usually someone close by who would be happy to sample whatever delicious food item you've brought.

3. PLEASE DON'T POISON THE PRODUCER

Audition days can be long. If you've been waiting around for hours and you're pitching a perishable food item, like fish, meat, or cheese, don't let us eat it. I know you really want us to taste your Bubbe's award-winning kishke... but if the food has gone bad and we eat it, we're going to get sick. And as much as I would personally hate to spend an evening vomiting into a toilet because of food poisoning, giving one of the Dragons food poisoning would cost me my job. So, if your food can go bad, bring a cooler filled with ice. Keep it cool. Keep it fresh. Keep the producer alive.

Good luck. And I hope to see you all on audition tour with your delicious food pitches... around lunch time.
