NERDWAX: Don & Lydia Hejny jumped in the Shark Tank during Season 7 to pitch NERDWAX.  Don had left the idea sitting in the closet for years while he tried to manage the grind of being a new dad while quitting a job that kept him on the road most of the time.

Today well discuss how Don used Kickstarter to bring his CRAZY Nerdwax IDEA to life and turn it into a 7 figure business.

Was it easy?  No  Was it awesome?  Yes

We also discuss the behind the scenes of getting on Shark Tank (In detail), why Mark Cuban & Daymond John are awesome for being Nerdwax deal mediators in the tank, and why Amazon is the way.to.go.

What can other entrepreneurs learn from these experiences to create their own Shark Tank Effect??  A.LOT.  It’s all in this episode of the SHARK TANK PODCAST!

Don had a very bad experience in his past life and now HIGHLY recommends Shopify
