If you've watched ABC's Shark Tank show you know that no two sharks are alike. Each has their own strategy for dealing with the aspiring entrepreneurs. Some are harsh, some are kind, some are dismissive. Kevin Harrington is the quiet one. He doesn't say much but his focus of gaze is, well shark-like as he listens intently, sizes up the prey and makes his move.

Our sister blog WalletPop has been covering the show through recaps and a series of After Shark interviews with both the sharks and those brave enough to face them, hat in hand. WalletPop editor-at-large Jason Cochran was kind enough to pass on our questions on to Kevin Harrington and as usual his answers were precise and quick.
