10 Years and $50 Million After Shark Tank Shut Me Down, I’m Ready to Pitch Again
Welcome to an exciting new chapter of The Bucket List Family! After years of traversing the globe and sharing unforgettable experiences, we’re gearing up for something monumental. In this video, I’ll unveil our ambitious vision for the future—think animated series, a Bucket List movie, and extraordinary destinations just waiting to be explored.
But before we dive into what’s next, let’s take a moment to reflect on where it all began. It all started when I stepped onto the set of Shark Tank, pitching my company, Scan. Unfortunately, all five Sharks turned me down. Fast forward a year later, and we sold Scan to Snapchat for a staggering $54 million. That pivotal moment encouraged Jessica and me to reevaluate our priorities. Instead of lavish spending, we decided to liquidate our possessions and embark on a journey of exploration.
What began as a simple desire to travel transformed into The Bucket List Family, a mission dedicated to cherishing family time, immersing ourselves in diverse cultures, and living each day with purpose.
As we approach our 300th YouTube video, it’s the perfect time to share the next phase of our adventure:
The Three Pillars of Bucket List
1. The Bucket List Family
Our family expeditions continue to evolve! We’re dedicated to creating opportunities for families and our community to explore the globe together. Our core mission—to ignite the spirit of adventure and cultural appreciation—remains steadfast.
2. Bucket List Studios
Get ready for an adventure in a new form! We’re thrilled to announce an animated cartoon series, set to premiere in early 2027 on YouTube, thanks to the support of over 3,000 investors. But that’s not all; we’re also collaborating with Big Shot Pictures to develop a Bucket List movie—a dream inching closer to reality.
3. Bucket List Collection
Imagine living out the adventures you’ve seen in our videos or cartoons by visiting exquisite locations! That’s our vision for Bucket List Collection, starting with mesmerizing destinations like Mounu Island in Tonga—where you can swim with humpback whales—and Berry Island in Canada, known for its wildlife safaris with bears and orcas.
Our aim isn’t to build the largest resorts but to create intimate experiences that draw families closer and connect them with the planet’s beauty.
