Barbara Corcoran’s credits include straight D’s in high school and college and 20 jobs by the time she turned 23. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country: She borrowed $1,000 and quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City. Over the next 25 years Barbara would parlay that $1,000 loan into a $5 billion real estate business, building the largest and best-known brand in the business.

Corcoran is the author of the best seller “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business!” She is a motivational and inspirational speaker, and a frequent small business and real estate contributor on every major network. She is the host of top business channel on Patreon, Barbara in Your Pocket. And most famously she has been a “Shark Investor” for the past fifteen seasons of the four-time Emmy award winning ABC series “Shark Tank”. During that time she has invested in over 120 businesses to date. Follow Barbara on Twitter and Instagram @BarbaraCorcoran.
