The secret ingredient to success is how long a person takes to feel sorry for themselves after a failure

When I really analyzed over the years what a secret ingredient is... it was exactly what you just said: how long they take to feel sorry for themselves... It's how long it takes. Some say 'oh poor me' and some get right back up.

This is a subjective business philosophy that cannot be definitively proven right or wrong.

A-Rod probably saved sports and the world by talking to President Trump

A-Rod probably saved sports and the world but I'm not bragging about it... Sports will probably be back before you even know because President Trump called up A-Rod on Friday night.

While Trump did call A-Rod, A-Rod did not actually 'save the world' or sports; the pandemic continued for years.

A-Rod used to buy three custom suits for every rookie on his team to teach them how to dress in the big leagues

A-Rod every year would buy every new player on the team, every rookie who was coming up, three new custom-made suits... he'd take them to his tailor, he'd buy them three suits and say 'this is how you have to dress, you're in the big leagues now kid.'

This is a well-documented story from former teammates regarding Alex Rodriguez's generosity to rookies.

The NFL Draft being virtual will give a massive advantage to organized teams with good scouting

Every general manager in the league is freaking out right now because... it's a terrible idea from a talent evaluation side of things to have this draft when you can't go see them... it's going to give the teams that have their shit together such a huge leg up on every other team.

The 2020 draft was remarkably smooth, and while some teams drafted better than others, there was no widespread collapse due to technology.

The 'Comfy' is my most profitable Shark Tank investment ever

The one that I made the most money on already in just a few short years, millions of dollars, is Comfy... They've sold over 70 million dollars... I took just a 30% of their interest just because I like the guys.

At the time of recording, this was true. The Comfy became a massive viral hit and remained one of her top earners.

My worst Shark Tank investment was a weight loss lipstick that burned people's lips

The lipstick that makes you lose weight. It doesn't make you lose weight. What it does is burns the crap out of your lips so you don't want to eat a hot dog... terrible. That's a real thing.

The product she is referring to is 'Skinny 24' or similar appetite-suppressing lip balms she invested in on the show which failed.
