I'm a successful entrepreneur and I've recently binge-watched several seasons of The Profit. Here's what I think; it's very informational but it also creates a lot of un-needed drama. It feels that business owners are taken advantage of more often than not. Whether these businesses deserved to be called out or not, it's still off-putting watch every week.
You don't see Chef Ramsey or other reality show hosts trying to use their position to leverage people into giving up their company for a week's worth of advice and some money. I know there are investors and banks that could help half those businesses and not cost them 100% control of their business in the process.
I'm not saying Marcus is a bad guy, we just don't share the same business ethics. However, I refuse to watch the show for the above reasons. To gain my viewership, I want more profit less drama. Either drop the bidding phase or give the business owners more options. Otherwise, it comes off unfair, rushed and overall dis- service to business in general. -Thanks
