Both Informative and Entertaining!

Great show that provides a well-balanced view of what it's like to be an entrepreneur. The Wolf PAC crew is a group of seasoned entrepreneurs who provide valuable insights, as opposed to "other shows" where it's all about the drama. Watching Wolf PAC, I actually get actionable advice that I can use in my own business. High production values and a cool concept - I hope more episodes are on the way! Congrats to the production team and best of luck to the entrepreneurs!

Entertaining, Educational & Empowering!

My son is starting a business, and I can think of no more engaging vehicle than Wolf PAC for teaching him the principles of entrepreneurship. This is an entirely novel, authentic and purpose-driven upgrade to a format that had sadly lost its way due to the vapid, ego-driven, reality TV sensationalism of other shows of this genre. Wolf PAC delivers real people and real entrepreneurial stories that are relatable to us all.

~ David Landers

Deeper Dive Than Shark Tank

Fun show! It is a more down-to-earth version of Shark Tank and we get to follow each entrepreneur through their entire journey which gives it more depth. Plus there is a lot of local Philly flavor and a real sense of community. I hope they make more!

You Will Love This Show!

You don't have to be an entrepreneur to watch this show. If you have ever dreamed of making something "yours" watch Wolf PAC. You will meet five established marketers, numbers' men and women, and producers who are experts in their fields. The format is fun, educational, and inspirational. I found myself rooting for everyone. Even they didn't get selected, the knowledge gained from the Wolf PAC is so worthwhile. I cannot wait for the next episodes set in Philly and those that will follow in major metropolitan areas. Kudos to all!

Upbeat Entertainment

Watching all four Wolf PAC episodes was a welcome, entertaining, feel-good break from all of the weary and distressing news of the day... As someone who is from Philadelphia, it’s great to see a positive focus on our city. I appreciate the short vignettes that seek to educate (e.g., cumulative cash flow). I also like how each episode ends with a celebration, regardless of any offers extended, accepted or declined. I say: Good for the Wolf PAC, keep it up, create more episodes and help more young entrepreneurs realize their dreams!

~ Rob

Wolf PAC Believes in Your Dreams!

They incorporate all the wonderful things about Philadelphia in the show and The Eagles’s lend a hand. Craig Shoemaker comic, producer, writer and a friend of these folks put this show together with his many friends from his beloved hometown. The show has real “ heart”and is loaded with guidance and ideas for folks needing it.

~ Beth Rickert

Really Interesting and Fun!

Fast-paced, educational, and enjoyable. I enjoyed the Wolf Pac members, all of whom had something interesting to contribute. I also really liked the Australian entrepreneur who was the subject of the first episode. I hope he is successful.
