Hi Robert. Thanks for doing this AMA.

Something I've always wanted to know about Shark Tank: sometimes a shark will make an offer but "I need an answer right now". I've considered that perhaps this was done to limit bidding wars. And yet at other times sharks seem completely content to enter bidding wars. What factors drive the "I need to know now" offers?

Second question I have is, when you were first pitched the idea of the show (Dragons Den / Shark Tank), did you realize that so many people would watch it as much to learn business lessons as for entertainment?

Thanks!

Since you're a student too, does it ever make it awkward that your professors have presumably seen you naked? I could understand coming in off the street to serve as a model, but hanging out naked with your professors adds another dimension to it.

It's still shocking: "I couldn't clearly see that he was unarmed, therefore it was ok to kill him"

Usually when the phrase "travesty of justice" comes up, you can trace it back to the prosecution fucking up (see also: Casey Anthony)

Does it bother you that art history is used as the primary example of the degree not to get if you want a useful degree? What do you plan on using your degree for?

ps. Yes, I am aware that many people turn their art history degrees into lucrative and/or fulfilling professions in the arts. I am just talking about the perception.
