The Dragon's Den - I had pitched a business idea to the producer's of the CBC television show the Dragon's Den when they came to Saint John. It was a great deal of fun, and the producer for the show was wonderful. Although the Dragon's were looking for a more "inventive product" that can make them millions, I did manage to sell one of my T-shirts to the producer. I enjoyed the process - and after watching the show, am relieved I didn't have to present to the Dragon's on television. Big fan of the show. Be sure to catch it Wednesday's 8pm on CBC.
