Known as Mr. Wonderful but filled with catchphrases like “Stop The Madness!” and “Know Your Numbers,” Kevin O’Leary is a staple on Shark Tank, where entrepreneurs can pitch him and fellow multimillionaire investors (“sharks”) to help expand their business in exchange for a stake in the company.

• Who’s Mr, Kevin O’Leary:

At age 29 Kevin co-founded a software company that grew to acquire more educational software and eventually purchased a Learning Company. Only four years after that acquisition and adopting that name, Mattel bought Learning Company for more than $3 billion.

Since then, Kevin has been an original cast member of Shark Tank where he is known to be the resident truth-teller. Over 14 seasons, he has worked with more than 500 small business owners and invested his own money in 40 companies.

• The Small Business Tech Day:

On Thursday, December 15, Oscar Diaz, CEO at Tecbound Technology, will join Kevin live to celebrate Small Business Tech Day. This free event is designed for small business leaders to discover the best technology and practices to increase their profitability and protect them from online threats.

Kevin will speak on how technology can help small businesses beat their competitors by adapting to salary increases and a labour shortage. There is a huge opportunity right now for small businesses to get more customers and capitalize on this changing economy.

We’ll be streaming live from Calgary and also be joined by former FBI counterterrorism and counterintelligence operative Eric O’Neill and bestselling business author Mike Michalowicz.
