I always liked Shark Tank, however I have learned so much more from The Profit! I love Marcus. That said, they are complete different approaches. You get to see the investment part on ST and learn on their reasons to invest in something or pass, with TP you also get to see what he does to flip the business, and I love that they explain stuff like why he decides to eliminate certain products, why he invests in branding the business, and stuff like that.
I agree 110%! Marcus is a genius. And the show gets so much into the nitty-gritty - it's a required course in business!
I just read that the last Farrell's ice cream parlor just closed though! You might remember that episode. Marcus owns the brand and is sitting with it on the sidelines for now. Here is an article with the details; The last Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour, in Brea, has shut down
But I study The Profit for what it is - which is the greatest resource to really learn about a business that I have ever seen!
Shark Tank is good too - but I can't believe the stupid products that are pitched there. It kind of kills brain cells watching the needless products they encounter. The worst one I've ever seen; little booties that go on the spikes of high heels so the high heels would not sink into a lawn. Idiots...
