Oprah Winfrey

We were doing about a million dollars in revenue a year.

And we thought it would be great exposure.

We weren't really expecting to do a deal with a shark.

And then we found out about a week before that that happened.

Emma was going to be a guest, which was the universe answering our prayers.

And going in together, too, like you can't really talk about the deal.

So we had to go in with the deal that we would accept from the Sharks and then the deal that we would accept from Emma the Shark.

And it was very different.

Because we knew how much value Emma could bring to the table.

And I mean, there's a really long list of why we were so grateful to do the deal with Emma.

But behind closed doors, she's like, what you see here times 1,000.

And you just can't fake authenticity.

I mean, I felt that reading her book.

I felt like Emma is in my face, in my ear, in my head.

Oh, my gosh.

Yes.

Yes.

One of our favorite stories is when we first closed our deal with Emma, we gave her a call and she called us right back and she was like, I'm so sorry.

I was just with Michelle Obama and Melinda Gates, but I'm so excited to talk to you guys.

And it just means a lot.
