Everyone says they’d pay more for “Made in the USA.”. I tested it. We make a $129 filtered showerhead manufactured in China. With tariffs surging to 170%, we explored reshoring. We found a U.S. supplier. Our costs nearly tripled. I ran a clean A/B test:.👇.

We want to bring back domestic manufacturing. But when consumers face the actual price tag—they didn’t. It's not because they don’t care. I think it is because most people are not willing to pay the premium (yet). This isn’t just our story. 👇.

Anyway, I want to thank everyone who helped me in this journey, from @ShaanVP and @moizali who helped me with the pitch, to @sulemanali , @thesamparr, and many others for always supporting me and my crazy ideas. If you applied for ST but didn't make it, keep going, don't give.

It worked! they loved it and after many rounds of interviews, more video submissions, and other things I made it to the show! As this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I spent hours preparing, even printed out the heads of the sharks! My son thought I was going crazy!

Every year I got a little further but never made it to the show so last year I thought, "I need to do something more creative, more silly and more fun" so I came up with the idea of dressing up like Einstein for the audition video:

Unfortunately back then I didn't have a business or business idea that would be a good Shark Tank product, until 4 years ago. That is when I first applied for the show but didn't even make it through the first round.

It took me 4 years and 4 tries but last week I finally made it on @ABCSharkTank !. This was a bucket list item for me, because when I moved to the U.S. 13 years ago I was obsessed with this show. For me Shark Tank is the epitome of the American Dream and vice versa. 👇

I bought 25 copies of @noahkagan’s new book “Million Dollar Weekend”. I will give away 24 copies, no need to follow me, just asking to retweet so more people will know about this book. I will pick the winners on this Friday (Feb 2). If you can’t wait, the book is also available
