🦈 Notable Clark Quote
❝

I’d be terrible on Shark Tank. Because I’m so optimistic. I’d love every pitch. I’d have a lot of trouble being discerning because I just love the enthusiasm of somebody who comes up with an idea and is trying to make it work. I’d be a bust on that show. And I wouldn’t know how to be mean to people.
