When 3M bought Aaron Krause’s buffing pad company, they looked at his smiley-faced sponge invention, called it "trash," and left it out of the deal. They made a huge mistake.

In this episode of Uncorked with Bill Green, we sit down with Aaron Krause, the chaotic genius behind Scrub Daddy - the most successful product in Shark Tank history. This isn't just a story about a sponge; it’s a masterclass in resilience, accidental invention, and proving the haters wrong.

Aaron reveals the untold stories you didn't see on TV: how he almost got banned from QVC before he even started, the "fake" controversy with Lori Greiner that was cut from his Shark Tank episode, and how a box labeled "SCRAP" turned into a billion-dollar global empire.

🍷 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The "Black Sheep" Origin: Why Aaron’s doctor parents were devastated he became a car detailer (and how he proved them wrong).

• The 3M Mistake: How the manufacturing giant bought his company but rejected the Scrub Daddy patent as worthless.

• The QVC Disaster: The nightmare 4:00 AM broadcast where Aaron "blew it" and almost lost everything—before selling 80,000 sponges in 8 minutes.

• Shark Tank Secrets: What really happened with Lori Greiner and Kevin O’Leary that the producers cut from the final edit.

• Serial Invention: A look at Aaron’s newest game-changers, from the Barbecue Daddy to a revolutionary hockey stick used by the NHL.
