something about the product. More than anything,
it’s a constant learning and education process, ex-
plaining to someone why something didn’t work
and what can, short of replacement, be done
about it.

I will be speaking at the Na-
tional Facilities Management
and Technology Conference
on Wednesday November
7th 2018 at 10 am. The NFMT Conference is being
held at the Rio Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. My
presentation is on "Failed Flooring Case Studies"

The season premiere of “Shark Tank” airs on Sun- September 2018
day, October 7th at
10 pm on ABC and
will debut 12-year-
old Tripp Phillips,
along with his sister
and partner Allee, and their dad Lee, promoting
Tripp’s invention and product Le-Glue. Le-Glue is
a non-permanent glue that holds Legos and other
building blocks together without damaging them.
In April, Tripp and Allee along their parents Lee
and Dana Phillips attended a Shark Tank casting
in Atlanta along with 500 other hopefuls. A few
days later the Phillips’ were contacted and told
Tripp had been selected to send a video promoting
his product. The Shark Tank producers watched
the video and the Phillip’s got a call that they were
indeed selected for the show and the family was
flown to the Los Angeles studio for taping. Tripp
was chosen from over 31,000 entries to get into
the tank with Allee and Lee swimming with him.
“It was a little bit nerve-wracking (pitching for the
sharks) but I didn’t let it affect me,” said Tripp Phil-
lips. For contractual reasons, the Phillips family
can’t reveal the outcome of the “Shark Tank”
