Tucker can also take it really far to the baby's world and that's why he fought for this. I love Deborah but on this one I can't see how she will push it 😅

    He is a genius on his craft, but naive in business. Sarah's offer has the best by far. Peter knew he was ripping off the guy and everyone else just realized they could do the same.
    Only Sarah showed some basic decency. Steven might by a douchebag most of the time, but he was right and knew what was going on.

    This is a ridiculously good product, bordering on “the best thing since sliced bread”! Steven’s comment “there is a difference between a great product and a business” is just nonsensical; there are plenty of one product companies that have had stellar success!
