    He’s the one Shark who is almost a decent person. IIRC, he’s the one who ended the policy that people presenting on the show had to give up part of their company no matter if they had an accepted deal or not. He made the very good point that anyone halfway decent at business would be very hesitant to take that offer, and they were losing out on good possibilities because of it.

    Still, fuck him. You can’t be a billionaire without doing shady shit somewhere.

      I really dislike how much he espouses hustle culture. Like, it’s crazy to applaud children who are spending every free minute they have on a business idea as if that has no negative impacts on their childhood if they aren’t failing school. Or that he won’t buy in if the business owner has a day job because entrepreneurs should only be successful if they gamble all of their savings apparently.

        Eh, he has set ways of thinking that his life experience tells him is “correct” and no need to question those findings. Kinda gross, but understandable to my mind.
