| Theme | Guest Shark Example | Student Exercise | |-------|---------------------|------------------| | | John Paul DeJoria asked for bank statements live. | Role-play asking a founder for their last 3 months of cash flow. | | Valuation vs. control | Nick Woodman accepted lower equity for a board seat. | Compare two deals: one with high valuation/give up control vs. low valuation/keep control. | | The “No” that teaches | Daniel Lubetzky explained why he said no (e.g., market timing off). | Write a “No, because…” letter to a fake entrepreneur with constructive feedback. | | Royalty deals | Several guests (especially Cuban) offered royalties instead of equity. | Calculate: $100k for 5% equity vs. $100k for $1 royalty per unit until $200k repaid. | | Exit strategy clarity | All guests asked “How do I get my money back?” | Create a one-paragraph exit plan for a hypothetical business. |
