Business innovation shows itself on the season opener of Shark Tank. New cast member Mark Cuban joins the sharks and immediately shows his character by switching partners because he’s likely to get more from the new partnership.
This episode features an idea that wakes you to the smell of cooking bacon called “Wakin’ Bacon” and a nasal filter the inventor believes is a billion dollar business. The show is rounded out by a toy rental concept called ToyGaroo which lets parents spend $35 monthly to rent toys until their kids tire of them, then return them for new (actually used) toys next month.
