Today's episode is extremely empowering as I welcome the legendary Shark Tank tycoon, Barbara Corcoran. Corcoran has been a Shark for the past thirteen seasons on ABC Network's Shark Tank, investing in over 80 businesses alongside Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec, Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John, and Lori Greiner. Barbara's rags-to-riches story begins with nothing other than straight D's in high school and 20 jobs by age 23. After borrowing $1,000 and quitting her job as a waitress, she founded The Corcoran Group, a real estate company in New York City. Over the next 25 years, Barbara turned that $1,000 loan into a $5 billion-dollar business and created the largest and best-known brand in the industry. Today, Barbara is a best-selling author and host of the top podcast Business Unusual with Barbara Corcoran. She also contributes much of her time as a motivational speaker and frequent small business and real estate contributor. Barbara joined The Simonetta Lein Show to discuss the steps she took to create her enormous success, what really goes into investing as a Shark, and what it took to become a woman business leader in a man-run industry. Tune in. Fun Facts: Barbara struggled in school due to dyslexia, before it was an actual diagnosis, and she is a big advocate today. Barbara considers her mother her biggest role model, as she raised 10 kids in a 2-bedroom apartment. Corcoran shared that she doesn't invest in products but in people when it comes to her Shark Tank deals. Credits: Thank you to the beautifully dedicated SLTV Team.
