It was a true honor to meet you... again! Thank you Mr. Wonderful 🙏
alpha m. Love your persistence! Congrats on your success !
alpha m. YOU REALLY MADE IT BRO
JUST KEEP PUSHING
Yoooo
Living legend proving them sharks wrong keep going captain
That day was amazing.
I can tell Aaron is hesitant to go into the numbers because he's afraid his audience might feel like he's making too much money off of us, but I think most of us are happy he is making that much and think he deserves every bit of it.
Unless you've bought the stuff he's touted that is pure garbage. Those people probably disagree.
I agree
A.J. Hart have you purchased his products or just hating? The hair product isn’t the best but Tiege Hanley is one of the best skin care products on the market for it’s price point. Many reviews reflect this as well
@@garrettgrowls I don't need skin care products so I'm afraid I can't speak to those. But I used to regularly watch his vids, and some of the products he pushed - which also happened to be sponsoring the vids - I had experience with and knew they were at best average but often were inferior.
The pimping he did for MVMT watches alone seems to have seriously impacted his cred among the portion of his viewership who were - for lack of a better term - grown-ups who knew better. As thousands of people before me have pointed out, those are horribly made watches that you can buy for $4 or less on AliExpress. It also bolstered the argument that he's fashion rather than style. Again, if you're young and want to toss good money after bad, that's not important. If you're looking for solid style advice that will stick with you, it's at least a bit of a disservice.
He's certainly free to sell his opinions to whomever he wants, and no one's forcing anyone to watch. But as I've written before, I'm free to offer my own perspective.
Take care.
A.J. Hart Oh I see where you’re going with this now. Yes I do agree the sponsors he gets can be pretty shitty companies/products. I was only referring to the businesses Aaron owns and has control over. The MVMT watch fiasco was kind of hilarious to watch unfold as I had a feeling the company would have garbage products even before Aaron promoted them. I think he made a video explaining the whole situation and how he should’ve known better. I don’t watch Alpha’s videos anymore either but still respect the hell out of the guy. Cheers!
It's weird seeing an Alpha M video with no ads in it
He literally advertised for tiege hanley at 8:03 lol
😂😂😂true
@@thenerdy7290 damn they’re good
@@thenerdy7290 😂 every time bruh
We were all waiting for the Pete and Pedro schpiel
alpha m has 5M subs. kevin has 128k pretty obv kevin woud collaborate . smart move kevin.
Yes. Now Kevin crossed 130k after this video
Kevin however is probably at least 1000x and more wealthy
@@sigma_z so? wealth is meaningless once you reach the point of financial freedom.
AZTL Also smart move by alpha by taking Kevin’s Audience to him right? Cause I didn’t see alpha promoting him
@@tuneunleashed absolutely
I totally did not see this coming
Me neither, lmao!
Shit. No one
Agreed
@Brandon De Oca Completely agree with you👌🏼
@Musky Mouse MVMT might be distasteful, but it's NOT a scam.
Love him or hate him, Aaron Marino's hustle is undeniable. And he's basically built his success on his own over a decade.
Hearing him say over 10 million... holy crap, congrats Aaron, you deserve every penny!
That's revenue, we don't know the profits.
@@prateek1703 knowing the market he is in its probably a pretty healthy profit margin
I think he said 15 million $
Eldar Alić thought he said 14
It’s over 20 million and the profits would be pretty dam good tho
This is why mr wonderful is my favorite shark. He is honest to the point of insulting at times, but he gives credit where credit is due. Hes not harming people's drive, hes pushing them to do better. Being real and personable like him saves businesses and entrepreneurs.
They are gods
Derek Tanner I think a good comparison would be to compare him to Gordon Ramsay. The same way Gordon doesn’t hold back when it comes to people’s cooking, especially chefs but he only does it in the hope it improves them, I think deep down mr wonderful is the same. He doesn’t just insult u and be harsh for the sake of it, he does it in the hope u will learn and better urself
When he is so honest it comes across as insulting, it’s simply constructive criticism
Korvus Mark is the worst investor out of all the sharks...
I want to get insulted by Mr. Wonderful one day. :)
Aaron is one of the greatest guys I know. Awesome watching y'all connect. Also Kevin, you made a mistake passing on me & Beardbrand. :D -Eric
Hey! Just heard your podcast with alpha.. It was great
Lol
Leonard Holt you think beards are here because of duck dynasty? Lmaoooo
@Leonard Holt yeah but the name "beard brand" itself helps him be a cut above the rest. And you say it's a fad but beards don't go away, just like 'hair', and with todays world focusing a lot on image best believe a lot of men grow their beards out to hide flaws on their face. Is it a very saturated business? Yes. Is it a fad? No, just because beards aren't makeup it's in a good portion of mens genetic code. It isn't going anywhere
@Leonard Holt if anything I can bet you don't have a beard
Aaron's videos have gotten me through the darkest chunk of my life. After my abusive ex who I was with for 7 years left me I had nothing. And then like a miracle his videos popped up. Just when I needed them most. He is a true hero, a man who pulled me from the brink. I'm so glad he's had his success. He deserves every second of it.
Aaron is such a hard working man, I’m so glad to have seen him grow into the successful guy he is now
Who all expected Aaron to start with "Gentleman"!?
To be honest I think he was nervous at that moment... he shook it off quickly though (if he did)
LMFAO.
“I dont give a shit what you do. Its how good you are at it..” deep inside ive known this but never believed it.. ive lost sight of my core values. Because of a medical emergency. Rebuilding from a new reality is my greatest obstacle.
I had 2 back surgeries in less than a year. No more chances for me to lift heavy things or play different kind of sports, helping a lady when she needs a hand to lift heavy stuff... That's because now I do have metal inserted as part of my spinal fusion surgerieS...2 titanium bars and 8 screws.. I ended up broke as these surgeries are really expensive... BUT you are correct! Building a new reality is one of the most difficult things if not the most... that I had and I can say I'm still doing it.. but I believed! I decided to believe and not let all of that to be a limitation in my head.
You can do it! You are good in a lot of things... believe!
I hope you accomplish a lot!
Z W i write this in tears because.. im making waves.. on my own.. i finally was able to take my wife out on a 5star dinner last night. With money i made. She has held the waters off for 5 years... today is the first day of the rest of our lives. God bless america
Luis Sousa stranger your words have made a difference in my outlooks. Life today feels good. I still think about taking my life. But the thought doesnt urge me to take action. When you become the rock that holds the tide off all your life. And then that disappears. Reality changes.
EpicElite Master, Grand Continue your grind! Not everybody has that mindset
no one:
absolutely no one:
kevin: because poopoo happens.
Akragool Karoon is 💩💩💩💩
@@seyioladeleojo4395:(
Poopoo
I remember my credit card debt story. I’ll never forget it... I had lost my job as a teacher due to budget cuts and went back to grad school for 2 years. I racked up 20k in credit card debt for the first time in my life because I spent the same way I did with a job. I opened new cards to do balance transfers, etc. It felt like I was drowning and it scared the SHIT out of me. When I got out of grad school, I was 2 days to bankruptcy and my first check came in and I was able to pay some of the bills. It took me 3 years to pay back all the debt. I’m now debt free.
If you had to do it over again would you back to grad school?
The Real Donald Trump yes
Kevin's wisdom and modest demeanor is a refreshing meaningful experience to observe.
Kevin is smart. He didnt want the products, he wanted Alpha M himself coz he knows products are just secondary, the REAL product here is just Aaron himself
Barbara: I know I invested but I’m out
Barbara: I know I already said I'm out. But I would just like to reiterate that I'm definitely OUT.
Hahaha
Barbara: I'm out because this business is making 8figures n for that reason I'm out
@@freshmilkmilk yeah hes a snake oil salesman. He sell white label hair products, and cheap sponsored junk, to young and dumb kids who dont know better. That's how he makes the bulk of his business.
And for that reason, I’m out again.
"Hey Mr. Wonderful, I was wondering how I can apply for McDonald's"
Kevin: Great question.
LMAO
Lmfao
Time to get a job. No Shark money, no show. McDonalds is a good start
lmao
He'll probably answer anyways.
Alpha M: The ONLY guy who can say SHUT UP to Kevin...and get away with it...😂
Well, besides the other Sharks of course...;)
That was pretty boss when he did that.
@@jfrealestate201 Dead serious! bruh
Even though it was bold, it was still polite. Being alpha doesn't mean being douche.
When ever Kevin Speaks about watches his eye light up and so do mine. Real, true passion.
Two of the people I respect most in the same room, giving free information - my cup runneth over!
Thank you Kevin, for putting this together - thank you both for executing. Thank you Aaron, for bringing your real self.
“I knew at 12 years old what I wanted to be in life”
Same. I’m 14 now and a LOT of development has gone into the idea, but I knew it at 12.
Love love love how raw this conversation is. It’s motivation for us young guys and gals looking to get into the world of business
This interview was completely unexpected but I loved it cause I’ve been watching Alapha M for a while now and watched his Shark Tank episodes and glad he’s finally talking about how successful he is
It doesn't seem that conceivable from everything he does, but this Kevin is quite a cool relatable dude.
I went through a failure recently. This video is helping me get up, move on and try again. Thank you, Aaron and Mr. Wonderful.
I've been a big fan of Aaron Marino for years! It's been so awesome to see him and his brand grow to such a level - and thank you Kevin for having Aaron on.
Keep up the great work, both of you!
This is probably the first time I've watched an entire interview without getting bored . Great video and insights !
I had massive debt after my divorce. After paying off that crap, I was able to save/invest my money. Debt is like having a boat, with no bodies of water in sight, useless and soul crushing....
Everytime he says "the idea suuuucked!"... he makes it a point to look at the camera. Lol
This is what has grown me over the last 2.5 years! Alpha, im moving forward with your assistance and guidance. I, WE need more!!!! This is just putting forward even more to your channel. More More More!!! We need More Mr Marino. Im a devoted subscriber and watching your channel and you comming on this one shows that you are a par, in fact, a whole lot of levels above the rest. Keep on going my mentor!!!
You know you have made it in life when Kevin o Leary calls you for an interview and asks you to pitch bussiness advise along with him . Good job
I’ve been following Aaron since before he ever came on shark tank. Amazing guy
Love the story about the watch at 9:53. Love this guy or hate him, no one can deny his hustle! 🙌💵
I started watching Aaron over 10 years ago. He's always been a positive voice for men of all ages. Aaron you deserve all your success. Cheers brother.
It is so good to see how well Kevin stops the long talk by the other person, appreciates it, continues his thoughts, and moves on to the next part. He values time. He wants to be concise and sharp to the point.
Loved this one! Great video guys.
_Best_ episode yet! I have loved you both a long time. This was the unexpected gift I didn't know I always wanted. Have him back! 🤘🎸 - Kevin Venture
This was a great episode ... I love the business advice that both of you gave & learned a bunch from it.
I'm so happy to watch both of you talking together, thanks a lot, YOU ARE ROCK STARS !
“It SUUUUCKED!” 😂😂
How the perfect timing of reading and hearing it at same time😂😂😂
I can speak from experience for interview appearance for a tech company. I was a contractor, but my job dealt with interacting with those candidates for the tech and sales roles. When I did the video interview, I wore business casual without a tie. When I did the in person walkthrough, I was already offered the position, but said I wanted to check it out in person first before making the decision. I wore what I call "Easter casual." White jeans, red waffle pattern henley style sweater and semi-casual Cole Haans. When I started the job though, I wore the full business casual with a tie, tie bar, shined shoes, etc. I was working as security/reception for that remote office in Seattle and so I would be the face and first person that would interact with clients and candidates. I wanted to set the tone off. When tech candidates came in they were usually in casual to dress up-casual ("Easter casual") attire. Often times I was the best dressed. What that projected though was a sense of authority even though I was the lowest on the totem pole in the office, people still came to me because I commanded that sense of authority that started with my attire. The first day they said I didn't have to dress up, but if I had dressed down, my role wouldn't be taken as seriously. When sales candidates came in for their interviews, they were business casual in their attire. Our sales managers in our office were business casual, even when they had huge sales meetings with corporate clients like AWS or Boeing in our office. Occasionally we'd have a few come in suits from San Francisco from the sales team, but that was more of a personal preference as they were way over dressed. We've even had the CFO of our global tech company come to our office and I've interacted with him and I was dressed up more than him. He was business casual without the tie, but mine was more thought out. He would come to me for authority on the facility, even though I wasn't the facility coordinator, most likely because of the presence I carried that started with my appearance. I would say in your research, find out who someone in the role you are applying for would be interacting with and dress more toward the more dressed up role you'd interact with on a semi-regular basis. Business casual seems to be the sweet spot in office interviews. Full suit is probably not necessary unless a recruiter mentions it. A tie for men though usually shows eagerness and intent without looking desperate.
@Joe Cool I wasn't a security guard. I was facilities, sec ops, budget management, and reception. I don't have to explain my work to you though as I'm not looking to be employed by you, nor would I want to with your attitude and your closed mindedness. I held the respect from everyone in the office and held a sense of authority that people sought out even though I was only a contractor. When we had a fire in our building and smoke was pouring out onto our floor, people followed my instructions. Not only did I lead everyone to where they needed to be, I coordinated with our HQ and was able to lead others from other companies who sought me out because of how I was dressed, my stature, and my appearance of being in command of the situation. I'm not going to write things perfectly on youtube, because who the hell is nitpicky on TH-cam comments and who are you trying to impress? Let me be clear, when the CFO and others came up to me, they knew I would give them the information they needed and tell them what they needed to hear whether they liked the information or not. They knew they were taken care of, they didn't have to worry about it, and I was in command of the situation. There is a reason why I was the guy who put in place all of the responsibilities of the role that expanded internationally to other offices based off of the foundation I put in place that was not there prior to my role.
@Joe Cool Wow what a brat
That's blessed you made it!
I'm happy for you and inspiring for us who failed 2,000+ times so far! Failing this many times was humbling honestly!
Love this conversation! I love that you are so direct Mr Wonderful, you say it as it is, no camouflage and that is what people need to hear to succeed!
Kevin: barbara shame on you hes making millions
Me: yall gave up on scrub daddy dont even
The “I’m going to buy you a new broom” comment KILLED me 😂😂
SUPER EXCITED BEEN A FAN OF BOTH OF YALL FOR YEARS THIS IS TIGHT YALL
@Kevin O’Leary this was one of the most if not the most fun episode i’ve watched you on Mr. Wonderful. It just goes to show that just because you are brutally honest during shark tank, often coming off (miss interpreted )as almost border line arrogant and hater. Does not mean you aren’t actually happy because one of the entrepreneurs you rejected is doing so well. The pure joy emanating from Mr. Wonderful in this episode of seeing some one he might’ve thought not to be a good investment prosper sheds some light on the famous phrase. “nothing personal, it is just business” 👍
For those wondering because they blocked it, His business "tiege" must be doing around 11.5M $ a year... Somewhere around 9 and 12.5M actually. following the law of averages and general universal Ecommerce metrics.
How come they blocked it? Wouldn’t you want everyone to know that your company is doing financially well thus making more people wanting to buy your product?
@@Boulos-cb2un It's a matter of privacy. I get where you are coming from, though. Probably Alpha just wanted to keep it lowkey. He has his reasons to do so.
@@TheColognePatron Why do we assume there is nothing dishonest among those reasons?
@@cobbler88 go back burger flipping boy.🤦♂️ It's his business, he'll do whatever the fuck he wants to do.
@@Boulos-cb2un If he comes out and says a number, it becomes an issue when taxes come around.
More people need to be like Kevin, telling the truth, even when it hurts.
I think I am addicted to this channel. Love the video, looking forward to the next video
after watching this I feel like kevin actually wants us to succeed and is just giving us disguised info that doesn't do anything for us. Hes honest and actually wants to help. didnt expect that from him . respect

Amazing job on this interview. Professional at every level. One of my favorites so far. Now, that Alpha Man “Aaron.” is Money. Great guest.
That was a great Episode Kevin. Got so much insight from it. Please do more!
Love watching your collab with AlphaM...you two hit it off pretty well❤️ looking forward to more of this in the future 👍
I love the, "no debt" thought, didn't think rich people actually thought like that! Very inspirational!
I think that's exactly wealthy people think. Even the ones who go the debt route aggressively have to rid themselves of it to increase their net worth.
@@DaGamerDad I listen to Robert Kiyosaki pretty heavy and he is complete opposite. Then again, this is a billionaire vs advice versus from a millionaire. It's all good but I don't think they all follow suit.
More videos with the two of you. Great chemistry very enjoyable to watch.
One of the most beautiful collab vid in this generation, im glad i lived in it. My two inspiration!
I live in the same town as Alpha and let me tell you, the dude is the real deal! Prof. of Grind.
Gotta give him credit. His work ethic is amazing.
*28M, that's your magic number!*
SRTUV1 how do you know
I heard that too 😂
No its 7! 7 little chipmunks twirlin n branch, eating lots of sunflowers on my uncles ranch. You know that old Children's tale from the sea!
Best episode so far for many reasons! These two should have a show together! Many including myself would watch for sure
Great content!!! Man this one was the most enjoyable yet.
8 years from now this guys gonna be a host for shark tank
Jembo I just set the timer, see you in 2028
Martin G lol 😂
But hes gonna be too nice and invest in every company
really hope one day he becomes a shark..his the true defintion of never give up & work hard
@Irfan Nasyriq you think funny? Try me😡
I'm sorry but until I see evidence, I don't believe a word this guy says.
Mr Persevere he has millions of youtube followers and has successful companies
Aaron: "Does your business plan include being a shill for shit products? Because that TOTALLY worked for me."
@@RiceCubeTech Does he really have all these successful companies, though? I'm sure there is some success there, but there are a suspicious number of YTers who claim to have multiple companies, but we rarely really get to hear the names of them or what they specifically peddle. I believe those companies exist, though. Any one of us can file the paperwork to have a few companies.
I'm so excited, I just asked Mr. O'Leary my question!! 🤞🏼 Hopefully I'll get an answer! I'm so grateful for the technology and TH-cam that is allowing us to do this....
What a wonderful era we live in...
I've been a fan of Mr. Marino for years! Great to see his success! Great energy!
I was getting anxious about when he would throw some tiege hanley sponsorship.
I can see how Mr Alpha M is growing. Has his head screwed on in the right place. Respect
I kept thinking Aaron was on the right track when he appeared on Shark Tank for the second time. Seemed to me like Mr. Wonderfull got hunged up in a personal disagreemend with him. Really surprised me for him to invite him on this program. Kept thinking this was his way of accepting his mistake letting him go. Right up until the end when he actually said it. Really liked it. Much respect for both of them. You can really feel their mutual respect and appreciation as business men. Big fan of both of them. Keep up the great work!
lots of great points made in the video, certainly learned something. thank you mr wonderful and aaron
saw this and had to click.
This.
@@Jonifico This is the only episode i sat and watched all the way to the end. I really respect and admire Alpha M
I'm sorry but until I see evidence, I don't believe a word this guy says. 8:28
Both of the best man came together 🔥🔥 love this. I actually watched the whole 31:16. Thank you Arron, and Kevin for awesome advice.
You're delivering some great content here Kevin. These collaborations with TH-camrs are awesome.
This was just fantastic. Two of the greatest minds on TH-cam.
Good for him - I hope everyone is successful !
Lmaoooo I love how Kevin was roasting barbera every second
What an awesome interview so direct and funny!
11:07 “ watches are about conversations “ well said 💯
I love how Kevin has kept up the Barbara is a witch thing for so many seasons
"Poopoo happens" - true billionaire talk.
@Enrique G Ok smart-ass. I may have over-exaggerated a little bit. Comedians do that sometimes to make jokes funnier. Make sense to you now that I explained it?
Another great episode. Thanks for the video... both of you.
Anyone else feels so glad seeing those two havig this conversation with this energy!
I’m glad Kevin realized that Aaron was an authentic and optimistic person and put him on this show. I think Aaron is a genius for utilizing TH-cam in such a clever way.
The colab we all needed but didnt know....
I always wondered and searched online, what happened to that entrepreneur after the show on tv. As long as you keep trying no matter how many times, it just get that one success to move you forward. Great story Alpha M.
This is AMAZING! Very glad to see my boy Alpha doing very well lately. I'm truly happy for him.
Mr. Wonderful is straight to the point no bs with everything, be more like Mr. Wonderful
Fantastic collaboration, should do more often with him, perhaps start a podcast.
Anything could happen!
Brilliant!
This is great collaboration.
Wow I just gotta say I really enjoyed this video. I stumbled upon this video on my feed and I really enjoyed the knowledge and perspectives from both Mr.Wonderful and Alpha M. !!! Kevin O’Leary you have earned my sub.
Love both of you! Great interview!
This was a awesome watch
How does a product that “sucks” even get on the show? Do they not screen each submission?
@@belo-moto Also he doesn't suck AND he's good for tv
I would imagine they primarely screen for entertainment value
ICBMCatcher they “suck” but at the end the sharks were wrong, his making more than 10 million dollars
it's not about the product. it's about the person as well, if he makes good tv or not.
Sometimes it's just for entertainment purposes. I guess they wanna show the good and the bad
Really enjoyed this. Thank you for the insight: Personality sells.
Holy Moly...thank you this was so insight... Salute Mr. Wonderful.
This went from an interview to a let’s grill and attack alpha
Well earned.
Kevin is a great interviewer. Impressed.
What a great episode. I really enjoyed this. :)
Great questions and even greater answers. Keep making videos please :)
