    The Bound Biographies thing is definitely a business that’s right on the edge, where it COULD be done ethically, but in practice it lends itself really well to underhanded, semi-scammy tactics. It reminds me of an MLM / “network marketing” business, where success depends largely on taking advantage of more vulnerable people.
    The crazy thing is, however, that the dragons rightly pointed all of this out on this episode… but then in a later season a guy came in pitching the same thing, and somehow got multiple offers and a deal. The only difference was that he presented it more smoothly, and the dragons considered him more “credible” (which often seems like the dragons’ code word for “we can tell you come from upper class stock, like us, so we’re willing to trust you with our money, and we won’t have to deal with some _low-born_ ruffian” haha)

    I get very skeptical of Charitable orgs. They often abuse the donations in the name of "business expense". While in University there was this NGO for disabled people that held a seminar for Software engineers raising awareness for accessibility in digital products. Our whole CS department was invited to take it. We went there and had the time of my life. Just the food that they served there was the most expensive meal I have ever eaten. The addresses in the seminar were lackluster feel good stuff. I am technically considered disabled due to an uncorrectable vision problem which even affects my career.

    These compilations are good because they show the utter inconsistency of the Dragon's investment thesis. Cork Yogis - which does no innate good for anyone - shouldn't be giving money to charity, but the Rempods - who do good for people through their service - should be doing more. Should a business give money to charity, should they prioritize returns to investors first? Who knows? Certainly not Peter.

And for all the conviction they have, they can be wrong at times. Each proposed product is a deal being worked out by real people with real interests and real opinions. They're not robots, and that actually makes them all the more daunting in their den.

      i think the issue is that one is a product that happens to send money to charity while the other is an idea that could help a mental issue. not exactly the same thing but if someone came up with a cure for an illness and said "I will make millions on this" they maybe could (depending what country they live in) , but there would be a lot of controversy around it. Its one of those things that could make a ton of money since the elderly well- get sick a lot. and there's a ton of them. there's ways to make money off of selling medical related things, but i can get why an investor with a public image would be kinda offput by it. there's a lot of social pressure on ideas like that since almost everyone can relate to older people around them being sickly and paying for quite a few medications/treatments. Peter wanting some of it to go to charity is a way to save face a bit i think.

    Laura (the cork yoga mat girl) needed to stand up to Peter. What Peter and Jenny didn't seem to understand, is that the social aspect was actually part of the business. It's why certain people purchased from them. Now, she could have started out by giving less, to make sure the company stays safe, but other than that, I don't think she's confused at all. However, she should have stood up for herself to Peter. Not just nodded and listened.

If this daily rate includes writing, which I bet money that it does, there's no way for you to even keep track of that daily rate. There's clearly no maximum that can be charged, and there doesn't even appear to be a minimum amount of writing that applies to getting the daily rate. If a person writes for 30 minutes, do they charge the $300 daily rate? I bet they do. There, quite obviously, should be a maximum fee charged. Sure, people can quit at anytime, but they've already paid the upfront fee that was something like $4,000. They're going to just lose that with nothing to gain from it?

    Private book binding is a great idea, but they're charging 3000 pounds + 300 pounds per day for one book!? I know a few book shops that offer exactly this, and it's usually around 1000 pounds, give or take depending on how embellished you want the leather cover.
