I loved covering Shark Tank.
I started covering Shark Tank for Forbes by accident. I was brought on initially to cover ETFs and mutual funds. One day Kevin O’Leary’s office emailed me asking if I would like to interview him about his ETF launch. I asked my editor if I could do a sidebar about my favorite show. She said yes. They’ve been wanting to expand their Shark Tank coverage. I did it ever since.
I am so grateful to have met some of the most amazing people while out and about. Here’s me with Professor Jeremy Siegel, the famed UPenn economist; Ambassador Sung Kim; John Chiang, California state treasurer and 2018 gubernatorial candidate; Sean Stephenson, motivational speaker; and James Altucher, blogger extraordinaire.
