Walking away from Shark Tank without a deal turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

"As I walked backstage, my eyes filled with tears and I started sobbing. My goal for months had been to leave with a deal, and I had failed. The moment when I messed up my pitch replayed in my head. But as time passed, I realized that the sharks had actually given me a gift. I started contacting Daymond almost weekly. He guided me through finding a warehouse to mass produce my bow ties, finding stores to host pop-up shops, and continuing to appear on ABC's Shark Tank programming through the show Beyond the Tank. I still talk to Daymond when I feel lost or need advice."

"So I did. And Granny was a patient, kind teacher. She regaled me with stories of sewing wedding gowns for awful brides, her eyes crinkling with laughter, as she guided my hands on the hot iron and my foot on the sewing machine pedal. After months of practice sewing, cutting and turning ties after school, I finally crafted my first tie on my own—a shiny, blue bow tie. We celebrated with homemade chocolate chip cookies."
