underrated comment

@@elguitarTom I think about this pitch at least once a day. It's my Roman Empire.

​​@@andrewgill2496Just because you're insecure and want to blame the Spanish provides NO CREDITABILTY. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHO A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE BASED ON THE COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN. You disgust me

sounds like Brexit

Based

The show really said “look we have an Indian friend too!”

Maybe they know each other bcs they are both indian

​@@Max-pw7rl it's true, I know Tej Lavani

What about his cringey smiles and him exposing his genitals???

The smiling and then suddenly dropping it was creeping me out

@@thecaptainsnark he's a scoiopath

@@ChiTownCzech91 *their tea

good point, could have been in an episode of the IT crowd 😏

She is right though! The Spanish are not trustworthy.

Well, I mean, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

​@@somethingeasy333 - LOL.

Would it surprise anyone that she's Jeremy clarkson's ex-wife?

Yeah. He had a really skeevey vibe about him, too. Deborah spotted it right away. He's been trained in how to manipulate vulnerable people.

@@peterclarke7240 yeh I got that vibe straight away, really sleezy and money grubbing. When Deborah was talking he looked like he was bored and just wanted her to shut up nd pay him, especially with that "hmm hmm hmm", you know he is like that with elder people, doesn't hear a word they say.

@Ashley Holman thank you word police

@@chrismcadam8413 may sound petty but not correcting peoples spelling has led to days like these where kids can't spell simple words. I mean I know a 24 year old that couldn't spell "tomorrow", they either had to put "2moz" or "tomoz".

@@xEvilNeverDiesx My 80-year-old mum writes 'tomoz', and has done since at least the 1990s.

Trump supporter

@@robs5855 awesome take

​@@robs5855why would someone who supports trump have problems with people from spain.....

"I've ripped off many spanish people and they're perfectly lovely about it"

and thinking she slept with Jeremy Clarkson. his 1st wife

Yup. My exact thoughts too What a slimey weasel

I feel he is really a slimy character the book man ,I would not like him in my house

Rest In Peace.

RIP

Yeah, rip hilary

Sad news 😢

how did she passed?

He's obviously going for older people who want to have their stories written. They might appreciate the friendly ear until they get the bill; 300 £ per meeting?

If they just removed the multiple meetings and had it only be an initial meeting, a checkup to sort out grievances and a final meeting to present the books, scheduled when the client wants it, so that they have a fixed cost, it would indeed be a wonderful thing.

the problem is not the idea, its the price point

@@TempestPoet The idea requires the price point, and they will only really get pensioners to sign up for it.

And she just happens to be Jeremy Clarkson’s ex wife!

*looks around* Are any of you... *looks around again* ... _Spanish???_ She said that like being Spanish was a sin.

Yeah but have you ever dealt with the spanish though?

@@jamesrossbroadfoot6327 I have actually tbf. Their riot police do seem like bastards that will do tourists at the drop of a hat for being too drunk or whatever 😂 I'm from Ireland though and like 99.9% of Spanish tourists I've ever met here are extremely polite.

@@roryslaine7896 Did they get you your olives on time tho?

Lol that's like A segment on ESPN where Urban Meyer talked about keys to an organization's success and it was like trustworthiness, reliability, honesty 🤣🤣🤣

Yikes!! I always liked him. Guess you never know about some people…

Doug who?

@@NeckbeardPr1me he's the white guy with glasses was criticizing the woman for insulting the Spanish.

RIP HARAMBE

Wow I didn’t know she passed, how sad. I actually quite liked her for some reason.

It's one of the reasons why you are the first one in with a share deal.

@@kevindunlap5525with all their money, you’d think they could take a risk and make an offer based on the social side of the yoga business.

Uh I think he only offered half because he knew the others wouldn't go in on it giving him a valid reason to say no to a countryman. He wanted to save face.

@@justin9744 He should have had the courage to look her in the eye and tell her that the business sucked

She alledgedly married that Top Gun dude

Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson. A match made in heaven, a couple of xenophobes chilling by the fire and moaning about those bloody foreigners.

@@Clipahoyshe is his ex

its Olives hardly a great idea

Her leaving him was probably the best thing that happened to Jeremy Clarkson. He was married to her for 6 months.

@@Lincolntowncoupe yes.

What? He's literally an angel-investor. I get that you're a Russian and don't know how capitalism works, and all... but whaaaa?

@@jack-a-lopiumThat’s the point… entrepreneurship and investing is a game where few win and many lose - that’s the irony.

@@dannynufer1296 Yeah, I know... cos I am ALSO not a Russian.

Being an entrepreneur, you have much more control over the success of your business. The game in question seemed to be all luck based

@@jack-a-lopium you are still dumb

Someone should make a digital platform for that. Might be exponentially cheaper and accessible.

You can self-publish for under a £5 a book. Print on demand is a very competative space.

What is Debbie bras size? They are m@ssive.

Yep. Deborah was right. It seems like the real money is made from those daily visits where elderly people I’m sure just love someone to talk to about their life who will happily listen. This man seems like the perfect companion for them.

​@@User84030 - And I bet they charge the daily rate for writing too, and if they do, I bet there's no minimum writing time either. There should be a maximum dollar amount that you can pay, but they don't want that.

I had no idea she'd passed away. 😔 She was still young imo.

15:00 Never trust a yoga person or a ManBun Man!

@@vintagevictoria she was only 65 :(

Hilary had more integrity than just about every investor on the show. Her story is wonderful. She was amazing. A very big loss to humanity.

I am blown away she was only 65

Of fighting human trafficking in India by encouraging cheap labour and exploitation of Uighur in China ? Ethical companies shouldn't be contradictory and be very very careful how they make money.

@@marc-antoinemarcoux697 That's why she moved it to Portugal.

She sold the company in 2018.

I'd have invested if I were one of the dragons.

@@dannylowry4743and it did badly! Very badly

i feel she leant too far on the charitable aspect of the pitch and everyone including her, forgot that it actually was a good product that made yoga mats more grippy

I am sick and tires of seeing these "new age" products and services being launched charging consumers ridiculously high premium prices. The greed of the owners really restricts access to many consumers. The great thing about a boomerang is that it returns. The yoga mat woman failed her business due to her greed. Good.

@@andrewboxall2945 I feel like a lot of people forget that having a useful product is just one of the elements that determine if they invest. A lot of times they will be forgiving of a lack of formal business education but someone who can't do simple mental arithmetic and wants to run a half for-profit business/half charity is a huge red flag.

@@BiznessCrewAu I wouldn't call her greedy, she's giving away a lot of money for someone who's starting up

wonder when was that, the idea of the product seem good (except for the fact that cork is rare product and and even wine producer are trying to use something more accesible) Quickly looking online i see there is now many seller of cork mat. Failed to patent it? or was it already not a original idea at the time of the pitch?

Little known fact about that lady, she is Jeremy Clarksons ex wife

@@OriginalYS Little known fact unless you watche her pitch on RU-vid 😂 it's commented everywhere 😁

Stuff like that is illegal in my country. In order to run contests like that you have to be a charity and donate the profits back into the community.

It's a good point, I am often skeptical too however I do also "well where was that money going anyway?", ie has that wealth been intercepted and then redistributed to people who are either suffering in society, or are helping those that do. If that is the case, I still think it's a noble way to conduct business.

Quite frankly, I think every charity should have to show the income of all their management. Salaries, bonuses, expenses, etc.. They should also have to show how much of a donation actually makes it to the people they're donating to.

Do not let those thieving Organizations prevent you from helping. A little research will easily clear these doubts, some charities are very transparent, they have no paid administration and they are struggling. compassion does pay bills.

I give monthly to cancer research and great ormond children hospital. No underhanded stuff there, and the cause is for our future :)

@@wvrjl I mean we are all legally obliged annually to declare our income and expenditure and each and every member of staff that earns over £60,000, but you go off.

Peter is hilarious "who dare you let people win a prize in life thats wrong, only im allowed to win" "you making money out of helping people terrible you! i just make money out of people by not helping them this is the right way!" 🤦‍♂🤣

That's an issue a lot of major charities face ... ... on the one hand, the whole point of a charity is to support a particular cause, or need; but, in order to run that charity, you need an Executive Board, especially a CEO, whom is capable, and able, to run an organisation with that degree/level of finance ... Except those don't come cheap ... even when running a non profit ...

​@@nigelft - No, between salaries, bonuses, and benefits (especially expense accounts), they make FAR too much! WAY too much! I strongly think that charities should have to be completely transparent, listing how much all of their management gets in salaries, bonuses, and benefits. They should also have to list the percentage of charitable donations actually makes it to the intended recipient. I think you'd be surprised.

Ruthless != immoral

@@ArgentLeftovers it does actually

@Ashley Holman so you acknowledge that it is a cruel world and submit to it instead of opposing it ?

I don't get your point. Business is a very moral undertaking.

If you're devoid of morals in the business world, then the long term will eventually get you.

Tej only offers when a child could see its an easy no work deal or if he can join someone

@@dc5285 that's a bit unfair

@@stinameaner i know bro but try telling tej that

I had no idea she died! Just checked the BBC website and there it is. May she rest in peace.

Very sad. Rip

What happened? So sad to hear. Welcome to the Angel's Den 🙏

British or English? This $hit show is filmed in England. Do you understand the difference? Probably not.

@@rossgriffin5703 I enjoy lumping them together occasionally on a whim just to see if I can evoke this kind of reply from non English Brits. Ever amusing. But in truth, I've seen shows from all over Britain do the same thing. Makes me chuckle.

I'm guessing it's more than that. Also, is that day rate also used for writing? If it is, is there a minimum amount of time they have to spend on it to get the day rate, or would 30 minutes of writing mean the customer still has to pay the day rate??

do you know what happened? why she died?

@@roldanelvis2449 no, it said a long illness.

@@beebeelicious thanks. I know sometimes they don't want people to know. I appreciate 🙏 your response

@@roldanelvis2449 people in the comments are saying stroke so i think it’s that. sorry if it’s wrong

Who's Jeremy Clarkson?

@@withgoddess1119 🙄

Explains a lot too.

@@withgoddess1119 the main host of top gear

a lot*

One of the most unlikable people I've met

Says her company's worth 65million today and dragons made a mistake

@@soulpkerukI missed that

@@garylangford6755 she can’t be worse in person than on the show surely?

Including this one.

I think of Roy Orbison

The difference is one was making lots of money the other wasn't.

The difference is one was helping elderly British people the other was helping abuse victims in India

This is actually what I appreciate about this show. You definitely have a good point, but it also shows that, for all the expertise and experience each dragon has, each deal is a case-by-case basis. And for all the conviction they have, they can be wrong at times. Each proposed product is a deal being worked out by real people with real interests and real opinions. They're not robots, and that actually makes them all the more daunting in their den.

Déborah was so right to condemn the family book man. £3k for a book but £300 per day for him to eat biscuits and drink tea while creating a false sense of being a friend. So a £3k book can rise to £6k after 10 meeting.

i think the issue is that one is a product that happens to send money to charity while the other is an idea that could help a mental issue. not exactly the same thing but if someone came up with a cure for an illness and said "I will make millions on this" they maybe could (depending what country they live in) , but there would be a lot of controversy around it. Its one of those things that could make a ton of money since the elderly well- get sick a lot. and there's a ton of them. there's ways to make money off of selling medical related things, but i can get why an investor with a public image would be kinda offput by it. there's a lot of social pressure on ideas like that since almost everyone can relate to older people around them being sickly and paying for quite a few medications/treatments. Peter wanting some of it to go to charity is a way to save face a bit i think.

That one had me 🤣

Haha

One of billions.

Wacist

Casual racism by the bbc

My Dads a cun#, ZOOMS IN ON JONSEY.

I reckon tej thought she was a corker, and just wanted to dipsum into her on one of her mats. ..too soon?

He's my dad, boogie woogie woogie!

And when she said she likes to focus on pubs and bars, that came across.

I agree the amount you can 'pledge' is kind of irrelevant, any means of gambling can and will be abused and form addictions in some people.

Thats not the point here. This is a high stakes gambling business. Yes, they have a skill based entry level questionnaire but anyone can get passed that. That was just created to keep the gambling regulators happy.

I was thinking the same thing. When was she part of this gambling board?? That being said, I don't agree with the subscription. I think that's designed with the intent of getting access to people's money who don't really have the money for that sort of thing. And their skill testing question, chances are its math, and everybody has a calculator.

​@@kartikkantheti5690 - I don't think they should be allowed to have the subscription model. I'm surprised that no one brought that up.

​@@notrecyborg5492not on two p pushers mate

He's 201 cm, if I remember correctly

Yh rip off

Type of dude too pray on the elderly

Sorry jen but we'r gonna take these two lol

She has made other offers 🤣 it's just a running joke that she hardly makes them

I don't think you watched the whole video, the last one was a dude

second to last.

Or how she talks to vendors, customers etc.

​@@Natashajb ha ha yes but in all fairness he was probably done after Olive Lady.

​@@theeverydaybombshellI wonder why her suppliers were inconsistent. I mean, unless they were Spanish, then I totally get it. Horrible woman. No wonder her 8 businesses went down the drain, nobody can work with her.

Not really

The 2nd one was worse

@@petesmart1983 how so?

Yep. Just seemed like someone trying to part grannies from their savings. The fact he invited them to his wedding and accepted gifts for his kids off them made me feel ill. Revolting little man.

​@@ieuanyin - Just like Deborah said. In a short time, people are dependant on them for friendship. Now, with most people, you might say buyer beware, but how many older people do they prey on? They make it sound like it's not going to be very expensive, but then they charge this daily rate. If this daily rate includes writing, which I bet money that it does, there's no way for you to even keep track of that daily rate. There's clearly no maximum that can be charged, and there doesn't even appear to be a minimum amount of writing that applies to getting the daily rate. If a person writes for 30 minutes, do they charge the $300 daily rate? I bet they do. There, quite obviously, should be a maximum fee charged. Sure, people can quit at anytime, but they've already paid the upfront fee that was something like $4,000. They're going to just lose that with nothing to gain from it?
