Shark Tank's Kevin Harrington & Phil Smith steal from Bret Martin of Mom and Pop Business Funding.
Updated: Jan 3
There is a famous quote by Oscar Wilde, that goes - “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” This quite honestly has long been bandied about, mainly as an excuse for blatant copying and or pirating and plagiarism.
It is what it is. For the last three and a half to four years, Phil Smith and Kevin Harrington Work at Home in your Jams and Loan Broker Network has stolen Bret Martin's videos for their Merchant Cash Advance Sales Training courses.
When asked, Bret Martin, the CEO and Founder of Mom and Pop Business Funding said he has getting over it and is no longer the least bit offended or upset. Oh sure, our legal department at Mom and Pop Business Funding reached out with a cease and desist letter at first, demanding immediate discontinuation of usage of Bret Martin's proprietary information and materials, but after multiple communications with the staff at Loan Broker Network it became quite apparent that Mom and Pop Business Funding and Bret Martin were benefiting profusely from Phil Smith and Kevin Harrington's illicit usage of Mom and Pop Business Funding and Bret Martin's proprietary information.
Once again, you might ask yourself why aren't we aren't upset that they are using Mom and Pop Business Funding and Bret Martin's proprietary information, and we would answer as follows. Bret Martin and Mom and Pop Business Funding has benefited profusely from Phil Smith and Kevin Harrington of Shark Tanks usage of these proprietary materials as once the students find out that Bret Martin is the teacher/trainer in the videos, and that Loan Broker network charges $3500.00 to $5000.00 to take their course, countless numbers of the students have immediately changed platforms and join forces instead with Mom and Pop Business Funding and Bret Martin!
Yes, these illicit tactics used by Phil Smith and Kevin Harrington and their companies is once again as Oscar Wilde, puts it - “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” and blatant copying and or pirating and plagiarism is what people who suffer from imposter syndrome do so well.
As Bret Martin, the CEO and Founder of Mom and Pop Business Funding puts it - in the end, goodness prevails over evil, it just takes longer, and Mom and Pop Business Funding and it's staff is benefitting from our very foundational principles regarding honesty and integrity!
