“Shark Tank” star Barbara Corcoran has a sense of humor. She must: an incredibly successful real estate mogul, she’s the author of three books, including my favorite title, If You Don’t Have Big Breasts, Put Ribbons on Your Pigtails.

Yikes!

On her ABC show, which airs its second season finale this Friday, February 5 at 9 p.m., Barbara is on a panel of experts assessing potential business investments. There are some great ideas; and there are some horrible ideas.

Barbara is the only woman on the panel and presents some of the best “Are you out of your mind?” facial expressions to the deer-in-the-headlights, wannabee capitalists.

But she’s also invested in a few good ideas along the way.

AUDIO EXCERPT: "Think of the opportunity and the sheer entertainment value of 'Shark Tank'! We're working 11-hour days, listening to pitch after pitch and we're never bored. It is so fascinating! And then you go home with new business partners. Who would say no to something like that?"

Herb Sorensen, INSIDE THE MIND OF THE SHOPPER retail expert, author: Mr. Media Radio Interview

The retail business in America is sick. The economy has taken a toll on our traditional buying habits and the industry is looking for a cure.

Meet Dr. Herb Sorensen.

He is the CEO and president of TNS Sorensen, a consulting firm that specializes in observing and measuring shoppers’ behavior within the walls of a store. He is the author of an incredibly detailed new book, Inside the Mind of the Shopper: The Science of Retailing, which breaks down what shoppers are thinking in large part based on their eye movements while shopping.

If you’re a professional within the retail industry, I think you’ll find Sorensen’s observations of great use. And if you’re a shopper, you may gain some great insight about the way successful retailers market their wares to you.
