Raven Thomas: Self - Entrepreneur: The Painted Pretzel

Quotes 

• Kevin O'Leary : Work with me on this for a second because this is my moment with you. I have $400k, I've just put it on this table, let's pretend it's there.

  Raven Thomas - Entrepreneur : Okay.

  Kevin O'Leary : I get this tin, I put it beside the $400k, and I go online and I say, "Who can make me pretzels with stuff and chocolate flavor on them that look like this," how many people you think could do that? I think a lot.

  Raven Thomas - Entrepreneur : Maybe, but they can't do it like me.

  Kevin O'Leary : Sure they can.

  Mark Cuban : No they can't, you know why? Because you're putting your heart, your soul, and your love into it and you care about the business.

  Kevin O'Leary : That's just wonderful. That's just wonderful.

  Mark Cuban : It's called sweat equity, Kevin, and you might not like to do work but some people do. Sweat equity has value.

  Kevin O'Leary : Cry me a river, Mark. Let's talk about reality, buddy. There's nothing proprietary about this at all! And it's not worth $400k!

  Mark Cuban : You know what happens next? You hire them, and you know what they do right after that? They quit 'cause you're a son of a bitch and they wouldn't wanna work with you!
