The Ok Sweetie Show
Shirah Benarde is the founder of Nightcap, the viral drink spiking prevention scrunchie that went from a high school idea to a Shark Tank deal with Lori Greiner to over $10 million in sales. She was 17 years old when she pitched on national television — and somehow wasn't even nervous. In this episode, Shirah takes us through everything: getting brutally bullied in high school, how her brother became her co-founder, the full behind-the-scenes of Shark Tank (is Mark Cuban hot in person???), and Lori’s involvement in NightCap today We talk about real drink spiking stories, what to actually do if it happens to you, their iconic Forever 21 collab, and what it really costs to build something from nothing when you're that young. Shirah is fantastic and by the end of this episode you will never go out without a Nightcap again!
