Show Notes

After his viral Shark Tank stint -- with Marc Cuban calling him a charlatan and Mr. Wonderful dropping the F bombs pretty hard -- all the hate came rolling for Maneesh Sethi, Founder of Pavlok. 

(Pavlok is a wearable device company that helps people eliminate bad habits and form positive ones.)
 
People were emailing him hate messages, messaging him on social media, calling their home phone, and sending threats to his family members. Even though he didn't expect how bad it would be, he decided to take the best of this "fame" and used it to forward his business. 
 
Tune in to listen to his story of frustration on the human race, if "all PR is good PR" is really true for everyone, what it was like putting himself out there in this way, how this can be a lesson to all Founders who are thinking of doing the same, and how to turn this hate into something positive. 
 
Now an eight figure business, Pavlok continues to change lives all over the world with their new product rollouts and new features. Check them out on Indiegogo and of course, the official Pavlok site, both linked below. 
 
P.S. Did you know about Maneesh's story about hiring his assistant to slap his face to stop him from procrastinating? He tells that here, too.
