Haven’t really heard of him before today but already hate him lol. I have heard of Shark Tank, but never watched it.
I’m sure it’s a good show, I know some nice people who watch it, but I’ve always imagined it in my head as poor people groveling for rich people’s money for their bakeries and such.

I have watched more than a few of his CBC pieces. Where employees and work-life balance are concerned, the man is toxic AF.
I mean, sure; if you are looking to become obscenely wealthy his attitude makes a lot of sense. But not all of us want to become parasites sucking the lifeblood out of other hard-working, working-class Canadians. Some of us just want enough to be comfortable, because smelling the roses and enjoying life is more important than spending a lifetime grinding to accumulating “stuff” only to die without having enjoyed any of it. You can’t take those obscene levels of wealth with you when you die, and all that accumulating those “brownie points” do is impoverish those from whose labour you coerced and forcibly extracted it.

It’s a lose-lose situation when somebody sees money and assets as the end goal rather than as one of the various tools we use in trying to find a comfortable enjoyable existence.
