1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Tiffany Krumins secured a $50,000 investment on the inaugural episode of Shark Tank, which aired on ABC in 2009. Tiffany's brainchild was inspired by a sweet-natured boy with Down syndrome who struggled to take medication. As his nanny, Tiffany tried her best to sooth his anxiety. With lightning creativity, she cobbled together fabric, sponges, and a plastic medicine dropper, and breathed life into her creation by imbedding a recordable sound chip from a greeting card. Ava the Elephant was born and is now one of Shark Tank's most well-known and beloved successes.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Seven years into Tiffany's entrepreneurial journey, she licensed her product to a larger brand. She found the ideal licensing partner in Baby Delight.&amp;nbsp;Two years later, the brand would be acquired by Better Family, Inc.&amp;nbsp; The acquisition of Ava the Elephant allowed Tiffany to focus on the creative side of business again. Her newest venture,&amp;nbsp;'Opu Probiotics, is a mission-driven brand manufactured in her home state of Georgia.&amp;nbsp; Tiffany's infectious spirit has attracted the attention of media heavy hitters, such as&amp;nbsp;Dr. Oz,&amp;nbsp;Fox Business,&amp;nbsp;Entrepreneur,&amp;nbsp;Forbes, and most recently the&amp;nbsp;Today Show. She was even touted in&amp;nbsp;The Huffington Post&amp;nbsp;as a modern day Mary Poppins. Tiffany cruised from nanny to inventor to entrepreneur on a wave of uncanny creativity, cunning business strategies, and substantive causes that tugged at her giving heart.&amp;nbsp; A respected inventor, iHeartRadio host, motivational speaker, successful entrepreneur, and mother of three, Tiffany now leads all of her ventures with a daily intention that business success and personal fulfillment are not mutually exclusive.
