 Question:  What is the best investment you have made to date on Shark Tank ? Answer:   Talbott Teas.  Those guys understood that it's all about the money - grow fast, get distribution and get out.  No wonder they got acquired by a major public company less than 6 months after they came into the Tank.  Now they're rich, and I got a great return on my investment.   Question:  Have there been any deals that you had wish that you made in hindsight?  Answer: Never.  If I'm out of a deal I never, ever look back.  They're dead to me.       Question:  Any service/product that you wish you had invented yourself? Answer:   I don't get emotionally invested in any one product or another.  It's all about the money! That's all I care about.  And I think that's an important lesson for entrepreneurs everywhere, too: don't be emotional about your business.  Focus on what matters: your bottom line.  Question: Is there anything that has surprised you over the season in terms of the pitches? Answer:   Every day in the Tank brings new surprises!  It's part of what makes Shark Tank so unique and so resonant - because it celebrates American business entrepreneurs - and they are always full of surprises.  Question:  Is it possible that someone can have a great idea, but fail in the tank because they can't pitch? Answer:   I see it all the time.  People come in and they aren't prepared enough, or they don't know a key number or they aren't good communicators.    Question:  What's your best advice on how to pitch? Answer:  Know your numbers.  And if you aren't good with numbers, bring someone who is!  Question:  Do you have to be memorable to make a good pitch? Answer:   Yes!  And if you show me clear how I can make money, I'll remember!  Question:   What's the most important lesson an entrepreneur can learn by watching what goes down in the Tank? Answer:  It's all about the money, all the time!  Question:   What's been the most memorable part of being on the show for you? Answer:  The chance to invest in these great companies. What can I say?  I'm in it for the money!   See what Barbara had to say. See what Daymond had to say.  See what Lori had to say. See what Robert had to say.
