Brad Hallwood has a very unique job. As the right-hand man to Jim Treliving of Dragons' Den (Canadian version of Shark Tank), he has witnessed hundreds and hundreds of pitches from entrepreneurs and "wantrepreneurs" alike. In this episode, he tells us two key things about entrepreneurial investors:

• What they are definitely NOT looking for
Whether or not you are in the market for an investor in your business, your suppliers and customers are looking for many of the exact same qualities when choosing who to do business with. So please listen to Brad's wisdom and enjoy!
