In this episode, Lina chats with Dreamland Baby CEO, Tara Williams about her motherhood journey and what ultimately inspired her to start her own business. While Tara has always known she wanted to be an entrepreneur, the right idea didn't come along until her 4th child wasn't sleeping at night. A creative solution and some help from her mother-in-law later, a prototype for a weighted sleep sack was born and so was the idea for Dreamland Baby. 

Tara always dreamed that Shark Tank would be in her future and when people kept repeatedly telling her, "You need to be on Shark Tank!" Tara explains in detail what the process was like to get on the show and what it was like getting ready to pitch the Sharks.
