Episode notes

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pitch your business on the hit TV show Shark Tank? In our interview with Stephan Aarstol, we discussed how he choked up during his pitch on Shark Tank to landing a $150K investment from billionaire Mark Cuban. We discuss what it was like behind the scenes on the show and his partnership with a Shark. In this episode, you will learn how Stephan created Tower Paddle Boards by disrupting distribution channels - instead of focusing on advertising and refusing to have major retailers carry his products - and increasing revenue from $100k in 2013 to $40 million today. We also uncover Stephan's Book The 5 Hour Workday and how changing his company culture has helped and hurt his business.
