I think that was the point…he was pitching a product but never even spoke about it hardly…the product he was selling was himself but he wanted them to invest in the product so he still got claim to everything else he earned outside of it

[@luisdiaz8474]

No he understands that he is making these sales because of his salesmanship. He just wants get investment for his product and have a percentage of that revenue go to the sharks. Because if he combines both, he won’t have the freedom to sale any other product through his videos. Which mean the sharks own him entirely instead of just the product. And owning him entirely can’t guarantee a great turnover.
