Shark Tank US | See The Way I See Entrepreneur Values Mental Health In Her Product

[@pranjalkandhari]

I loved that the Sharks did not take a part of her super profitable business coz it was not the right thing to do, rather gave good advice.

[@DocRealTalk]

It's because they couldn't. She was super profitable and knew her stuff....so the dragons couldn't spin the usual lines about how much they bring and take a big chunk of her company lol Pretty much everyone who comes in with a reasonable offer and doesn't actually need the dragons never gets a deal. They want people who desperately need them and their money, so they can rip them off. Standard investor class bs.

[@Ali-tf8qj]

No its because there is no exit in her business. Shes the business, so you cant really sell the whole thing and get your investment back.

[@DocRealTalk]

@@Ali-tf8qj Selling the business was never even discussed. And it wouldn't be up to them anyway, unless they take a big enough share of her company. Which they couldn't because of her numbers.

[@zachfinemusic]

I’m not knocking this person, but I feel like making sweatshirts or clothing like this is counterproductive and exploitative; It almost trivializes what someone is going through. Moreover, vulnerability is important only if it is in a safe environment with the right people. Advertising oneself like this to the world could have consequences.

[@daisyjoy7586]

I also agree 💯 it really is counterproductive coz now it's like putting that identity of being anxious, overthinker etc on self.

[@BT-mc2yd]

LOL I hate social media. Commenters like you show how miserable you are. Hoping you get the help you need. The people NEEDING it are the ones BUYING IT 😂❤

[@jrblabla12]

Are you all there in the head? If that were the case then every business that exists would cease to exist. The great thing about a free market is that people can choose what they want and need in life. If as many people ordered as she said and she is liked, that is definitive proof that it made them feel better, which was their reason for purchasing. As an average non-overindulgant one time purchase, you're point assumes that all buyers believed a $75 hoodie was going to solve their life problems. What you should do is think about other people's perspective from both a positive and negative perspective and then try to figure out which one is more likely to be correct; otherwise you by nature miss most of the point being made. Master this my child and you will leave the douchebag fringe and enter upon the land of reason, logic and success.

[@jrblabla12]

"Moreover", you're last statement implies that she should hide in a cave because someone else might be stupid? Or what exactly are you saying? All that can happen is that you learn and you grow unless you choose not to when you fail at something .. it sounds like to you, words are dangerous.. if you're that afraid of words - it points to a high potential that you're hiding from something you know deep down and being challenged by it is too painful to bear because you prefer not knowing the truth .. about something who knows.. this is just a free psycho analyzation that I couldn't resist offering because of how insane your comment was

$75 for a hoodie is wild

[@jadeloggedon]

it is, but that’s where we’re at today. I remember buying a t-shirt at a concert 15-ish ago for $15, now they’re at MINIMUM double the cost, usually more. and even still, a family member just told me yesterday that she wouldn’t pay $25 for a t-shirt. some people won’t pay the price, and that’s fine, they don’t have to. but it’s not like sophie is doing this when everyone else isn’t. AND she actually has QUALITY apparel. i would much rather spend this money on a hoodie from sophie than, say, one from a musician’s merch store. the quality isn’t comparable at all. sophie’s apparel is all cut and sewn, and is custom to her brand.

[@elmo1220]

​@@jadeloggedonI'm in the industry, the "quality" you're talking about costs $11.50 wholesale per piece and includes a 5% discount on orders over $1,000. The reason she can ask for that price is because of her social media presence.

[@JazzyMarineVet]

Life is hard, everyone deals with trauma in one way or another. Having clothing and widgets to let everyone know they are dealing with hard LIFE, dont get it. Gone are the days of the inspirational quotes "dont give up" "Persue, fight, win" "You can do it, and do it better than most" Proactive messages that tell you to overcome, conquer, fight and win.....seems to be giving way to "fearful., anxious, hiding in the shadows". How does that help?

[@blobofconsciousness]

Being vulnerable gives you more strength than you think. You don't have to hide under productivity to appear strong. I think the product is successful in doing that - Making people who sweep things under the carpet, uncomfortable.

[@agylao6894]

@@blobofconsciousness But the issue is that people are marketing to those who are vulnerable and labeling them so putting "inspirational" quotes on something like clothing and selling it is showing that we are normalizing those who are dealing with mental health issues and are in victimhood, not to mention it is very counterproductive. Are you personally going to buy a plain shirt for $50 just for it to say "be happy"? As long as people, like the entrepreneurs, are enabling that attitude, that's what's going to make them more money. Almost everyone is trying to normalize mental health issues behavior and yet no one can see why this is so damaging.

Why not just offer a mentorship on how to handle her rapid wealth and investments for a good price? She's already said she has mental health issues. Like she's probably overwhelmed. Growing up, being an overachiever, teachers assumed i needed no help. But they didn't realize the stress and pressure of doing what it took to BE. It translates now, as being the friend that doesn't need help. "You got it. You're strong. You're smart." I get tough love and blown off. And it hurts.
