I watch Shark Tank all the time- Lori Greiner helped make this couple very very wealthy: she will not be happy to hear this news

Who is his Mom? Utah based as well?

We're not allowed to sleuth family in MTs so will let you figure that out. But, if you ever watched the Shark Tank pitch... you'll know it was a mother and son team. Hence me saying she won't be happy with him. Kinda smeared her name IMO since they are both associated with Squatty Potty.
