Meet Rick Hopper

Rick Hopper is an inventor, serial entrepreneur, and Shark Tank Season 3 winner who turned a simple idea, a magnetic eyeglass holder, into Readerest, a nationally recognized product and thriving business. His journey from backyard tinkerer to the Shark Tank stage is a testament to the power of relentless execution and believing in your vision.

Beyond Readerest, Rick has built, scaled, and sold multiple companies across different industries. Today he channels that hard-won experience into mentoring the next generation of inventors and entrepreneurs, hosting a podcast, and writing books that bridge the gap between having a great idea and actually making money from it.

Whether he is speaking on stage, coaching one-on-one, or recording an episode, Rick brings the same energy and honesty that made him a fan favorite on national television.
