Every year, the Discovery Channel holds its iconic Shark Week programming, created to help conservation efforts and combat the misconceptions about sharks. Over the years, the annual week has grown in popularity and as of 2010, it is the longest-running cable television programming event of all time.
Here at Eagles Talent, the most popular sharks are those in the business world! The following five keynote speakers are highly influential entrepreneurs, who are also on the critically acclaimed and Emmy-winning business show, Shark Tank. Their impressive success has made them some of the most intimidating figures for fellow entrepreneurs.
