The young couple moved to the mountains the summer of 2015 with plans to return to school.

Tanked - Sharks Swarming in the Triangle, May 13
If you've been living under a sea shell since 2009 and don't know what ABC's Shark Tank is; let us explain. Shark Tank features tough, self-made, multi-millionaire and billionaire tycoons as they invest in America's best businesses and products. The Sharks give people from all walks of life the chance to chase the American dream, and potentially secure business deals  that could make them millionaires. ABC is hosting a casting call at Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh on Friday, May 13 where entrepreneurs will be pitching to the show's casting agents. But it has to be done in less than a minute. Sharon Bui, co-founder of Raleigh-based Frill Clothing (and a "Shark Tank" alum), which creates and sells sorority-targeted clothing and apparel, said it's more difficult than you think. And the minute isn't just about your business. "It's TV, so they want to see tons of personality in your one minute," she said. And as far as your elevator pitch goes, include numbers, she says. "But not too many numbers. You don't have a lot of time. They don't want to hear all of your data, but if you have big numbers, use them." The event will be at Marbles Kids Museum where wristbands will be distributed to  entrepreneurs from 9am until 11am. Interviews start at 10am. Entrepreneurs who have already filled out an application are invited to pitch one business, product or idea. Give 'Em Something to Sink Their Teeth In - Know your numbers! Remember, the Sharks are power house investors; they expect your numbers to add up. Be able to communicate your business masterfully: What's your business model? What problem are you trying to solve? Who does your company serve? Not only should you be able to painlessly answer these types of questions, you must do so in a way that's clear and concise. Its time to Chop-Chop...prepare for the Tank! We want to see you in Shark Tank! Casting Friday, May 13th at Marbles Kids Museum, 201 East Hargett St. Raleigh 27601. 9:00am to 11:00 am - Numbered Wristbands Distributed. 10:00am - Interviews Begin. Click Here to Learn More.

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on
The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of
The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
