My husband joked, 'I'm going to go from med tech to mermaids?' Now he's the CEO of our daughter's company.

Sydney Myers founded a beauty brand at 10 with help from her family. Lori Greiner and Kendra Scott later invested $200,000 on Shark Tank.

Tiffany Myers' daughter Sydney, known for founding a cosmetics company at the age of ten, has now achieved a significant milestone by securing a deal on Shark Tank. Sydney, now seventeen, created the company Glimmer Wish, which has generated over $1 million in sales last year. Both parents are involved in the business, with Sydney handling the creative aspects and her husband Byron, formerly a med tech entrepreneur, serving as CEO.

Their family's remote school education has enabled them to balance their academic responsibilities and business pursuits. When Sydney's father decided to pivot from his previous career in med tech to the world of mermaids, the family's collaboration took on new dimensions. Their daughter Audrey also contributes to the company. The family's journey was catapulted onto national television after they appeared on Shark Tank, signing a deal with Lori Greiner and Kendra Scott for a 20% stake in Glimmer Wish.

Despite initial apprehensions, Tiffany views their shared business venture as a testament to the strength and resilience of her family, particularly her daughter Sydney's leadership.
