She looks at me, smiling a little too warmly.

I recently had the privilege of presenting a business idea to the investors at Shark Tank.

Below is a transcript of my pitch.

Hi Sharks, I’m Jeremy Secrest and I’m seeking a $25,000 investment for a 15% stake in my company.

With present company excluded, how many people do you know who dislike their job? Job dissatisfaction is at an astronomical level, with a staggering 81% of employees listed as not “satisfied” with their job, according to a recent survey.

Job dissatisfaction leads to stress, fatigue and mental illness. It’s one of the most widespread conditions in developed nations.

What’s this new product?
