I pitched my company on national TV… and CRIED. 😭📺 But the story started long before the cameras were rolling. I applied for Shark Tank Season 4, and eventually found myself pitching my company on CNBC’s West Texas Investors Club. I was a solo mom building a company with two toddlers watching my every move. I brought my kids to business meetings. To events. To just about everything. And I made one thing very clear: If my kids weren’t welcome, I wasn’t interested in doing business with you. I wasn’t going to choose between being a present mom and chasing my dreams. I was determined to do BOTH. Was it easy? Absolutely NOT. 😂 There were tears, rejection, sleepless nights, big risks, and plenty of moments when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. But there were also some pretty incredible moments. Like seeing my company’s LOGO ON A NASCAR CAR. 🏎️ Pitching on national television. Meeting people I never imagined I’d meet. Walking into rooms I probably had no business being in yet. And doing some of the craziest things along the way! Looking back, the biggest win wasn’t the TV appearance, the NASCAR car, or any of the milestones. It was showing my kids that you don’t have to wait for the perfect circumstances to chase something BIG. They didn’t just watch me build a business. They grew up building it alongside me. And I hope they learned that being scared, being unprepared, and even crying on national television doesn’t mean you stop. 😂 You just keep showing up. To every mom building something while raising babies, and every entrepreneur wondering if they’re ready… START ANYWAY. ❤️ Because one day you’ll look back at all the crazy things you did and realize those were the moments that made the best stories. And trust me, I have SO many more stories. 😂 Who else started a business before they had any idea what they were doing? 🙋‍♀️ #FounderStory #Mompreneur #SoloMom #SharkTank #WestTexasInvestorsClub by @desireeshank

Not being ready AND doing it anyway will take you very far. ✨ You don’t need to know all the things. You don’t need to have the perfect plan. You don’t need to feel 100% ready. Most of the things I’m proudest of started with me figuring it out as I went. Start messy. Learn and fail fast. Adjust along the way. Just start. 🤍 #Entrepreneurship #JustStart #FounderLife #KeepGoing #BusinessGrowth taken in Temecula, California by @desireeshank

So proud of my daughter and what she’s building with Bord Brims Hat Co. 🤠✨ Bord Brims brought the full custom hat bar experience to @saatchi_us Saatchi & Saatchi in LA for a team-building event with the @toyotausa marketing team, and it was SO much fun! Everyone got to design their own custom brim, choosing their hat and adding bands, feathers, charms and all the little details that make it completely their own. Such a fun way to bring a team together and everyone leaves with something they’ll actually wear. 🤎 Planning a corporate event, team-building experience, brand activation, wedding or private party? Bring the Bord Brims Hat Bar to your next event! 🤠 📍 Southern California + travel available 📩 DM to book @bordbrims #CustomHatBar #hatbar #TeamBuilding #LosAngelesEvents #EventIdeas taken in Los Angeles, California by @desireeshank
