Anthony Calvert was a police officer who got hurt on an assignment and, during recovery, found it challenging to lay face down comfortably when trying to get a sun tan. To solve his problem, he and his wife, Tina, invented the PODillow.
Anthony and Tine have sold almost 6k Podillows in 2 years and currently have purchase orders they cannot fill.
Kevin O'Leary finds a "dislocation" (a pun on Anthony's injury) between the valuation and their revenue.
Anthony has very little response to the sharks' qualms and each shark gives his/her going-out speech.

The PODillow remained a side-hustle for Anthony and Tina Calvert through sales channels like Amazon.
In mid-2021, PODillow shut down its website, and its remaining Amazon product was not restocked. Covid supply issues were possibly the nail in the coffin for the already struggling business.
