Risk taker. Dreamer. Driven. Faith in themselves, their vision, their families, their school.
“Just someone who starts a business.”
These are the characteristics that five of the six hosts of the television show “Shark Tank” listed when asked what traits an entrepreneur should have during a visit Friday to Chattanooga Christian School.
The cast – including Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec – was at the school for a taping of the hit ABC show after high school senior Connelly Grant won the second annual Shark Tank High School Sweepstakes. Barbara Corocan did not make the trip.
With just a tweet in response to a prompt by the show one night, budding entrepreneur Grant won a trip to a taping of the show in Los Angeles. She also scored a visit with the hosts, or “sharks,” for her and nearly 500 of her classmates.
