And that’s what I’ve pretty much done – I’ve been self-employed for more than 20 years. And now, I’m self-employed as a podcaster.But one thing I’ve never done – I’ve never been on Shark Tank. But Max has – and he did it as a teenager.Max told me the whole story of the product he developed, and how he pitched it on TV and ended up getting a deal with Mark Cuban.This is a Flashback episode.
