Do You Get Inspired Watching Dragons Den?

Wooow how did I miss that BBC documentary... Jeez

No wonder Britain is struggling, all these dodgers not paying their way.

I don't think Britain is by any means unique. And Spivs have always been with us! - To me it's the import of vacuous notions from American snake-oil sellers that has given more traction to the 'fake it til you make it' brigade.

Truly, there is a hair's breadth between a genius and a madman - or woman!

I love watching Dragons Den as it often inspires me when I am getting a little tired and weary even if a lot of the content is "made for TV". Having done some background it was interesting to learn that the majority of those deals agreed on TV never actually happen as the TV "deal" is not binding to both parties. However, I have to say it is much better than the US equivalent which can be very much over the top, "Shark Tank", etc.

So, does Dragons Den inspire you?
