New York City Real Estate Mogul, Business Expert & Investor on ABC's Shark Tank
Barbara Corcoran shares her inspiring rags-to-riches story and the secrets to success that led her to the top of her industry.
In 1973, Barbara borrowed $1,000 from her boyfriend, quit waitressing and started a real estate company in New York City called The Corcoran Group. Over the years, she parlayed that loan into a premiere $5 billion-dollar real estate business.
Now, as one of the stars and investors on ABC's hit show, Shark Tank, Barbara has become an in-demand media personality and solidified her position as one of the most successful real estate entrepreneurs in America. Since she began investing money in entrepreneurs and their ideas, she’s helped successfully launch more than 80 businesses, from apparel to skin care to custom bicycles. The author of two best-sellers, her newest book, Shark Tales, takes you behind the scenes of her life, business, and her 'seen on TV' venture capitalism. Barbara is also the host of the popular podcast Business Unusual, where she provides listeners with actionable advice and insight into the world of entrepreneurship.
With her signature tell-it-like-it-is attitude, Barbara shares one-of-a-kind insight on the importance of leadership, innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit in today’s business environment and tips for staying relevant and competitive. A brilliant identifier of opportunity and talent, her indispensable success strategies will motivate you to greatness and help you take your business to the next level
Performing Live at our Friday Night Event
We are excited to announce that GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum singer and songwriter, Gavin DeGraw, will be performing at this year’s SYNERGY conference on Friday, November 10th!
Gavin DeGraw’s inimitable voice and soulful style boldly bloomed on his 2003 platinum-certified full-length debut, Chariot. It included the gold single “Follow Through,” as well as both platinum hits, “Chariot,” and “I Don’t Want To Be.”
In 2008, his self-titled second album, Gavin DeGraw, bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 powered by the platinum-selling single “In Love With a Girl.” 2011’s gold-certified Sweeter saw him return to the Top 10 as the single “Not Over You” went four times platinum. Meanwhile, his 2013 duet with Colbie Caillat, “We Both Know,” garnered a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Song Written For Visual Media” for Safe Haven. He’s the rare talent who could seamlessly share the stage with Billy Joel and The Allman Brothers or Maroon 5 and Shania Twain. In 2016, Something Worth Saving incited widespread critical applause from USA Today, Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, and Huffington Post. With a front row seat to this wonderfully wild life led by his late parents Lynne and John Wayne, Gavin DeGraw recounts his most meaningful memories and valuable lessons on his seventh full-length offering, Face The River [RCA Records]. Now, he stitches together a timeless tale of his own soundtracked by a signature fusion of pop, soul, country, folk and funk.
