We felt like we were drinking from a fire hydrant, but given the mentors we have and the systems we put in place we survived. Prior to Shark Tank I wish I knew following the airing, thats when the real work begins. 500 emails a day, and everything else that goes into managing your business. There is no time for celebration, its time to really get to work.<\/p>\n<h4>Tell us a little bit about Hillsides and how SoapSox works with them.<\/h4>\n<p>Hillsides is an amazing facility that works to create lasting change for children and families.
