Megan Gage’s current role started out innocently enough: a former social worker, she quit her full-time job to tackle the 24/7 job of a stay-at-home mom. However, her story quickly takes a turn for the unexpected, as she found herself building a professional hair care line for infants and children named Hot Tot. Within a year of launching her hair care line, Megan was cast for ABC’s Shark Tank and hit the proverbial jackpot, receiving an investment from billionaire Mark Cuban on the show. (Wow!)
Fast-forward to present day and Megan and her artistic team have styled for clients like Target, Little Marc Jacobs and Diesel Kids. Although she never envisioned herself thriving in the business world, she’s done just that; eagerly delving into the myriad roles of an entrepreneur for a product she believes in. “If I can do this, anyone can!” she writes.
