Filed under: Entrepreneurship

Tonight, ABC will re-broadcast an episode of Shark Tank featuring the colorful and infectiously enthusiastic Saccoman brothers, two Brazil-born guys who brought their online journaling system, MyTherapyJournal.com, before the Sharks. The guys are as perky and as can-do as the Wonder Twins from Super Friends, goofy fist bump and all.

We took the opportunity to catch up with one half of the business team, the ebullient Rodolfo Saccoman, to find out just how things have changed since his episode originally aired, and what's in store for the future of his business.

If you haven't seen the episode yet and don't like spoilers, hold off on watching our Skype video interview until you've seen it -- you can also watch the episode here. I will say, though, that the brothers seemed even hungrier for mentorship than they were for cold hard cash. How did that tactic work out for them? (And what the heck was that whooshy fist bump all about?)

Want to catch up with more of the players from Shark Tank? Maybe you need a little inspiration for your own small business plans? You can find them all on our AfterShark home page, will is full of exclusive interviews from the exciting new series.
