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.
