Fire Captain Pitches on “West Texas Investors Club”

CNBC’s “West Texas Investors Club” returns Tuesday, June 7th at 10PM ET/PT with bigger deals, higher stakes and a whole lot more business.  Set deep in the heart of Texas, the 10 original hour-long episodes feature self-made multimillionaires─ Rooster McConaughey and Butch Gilliam who have chosen to pass on their success by investing in promising entrepreneurs – but only on their turf and their terms.    
Along with their close friend and confidante Gil Prather, Rooster and Butch invite a new batch of ambitious entrepreneurs from across the country to come down to Midland, Texas and make their case. These folks know that they’re getting a once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure an investment – but what they don’t know, is that clever products and beautiful balance sheets will only get you so far with these down-home investors. Rooster and Butch won’t make a deal until they’ve peered into your heart and soul – and taken the true measure of your character.   
In the Tuesday, July 5th episode, a Fire Captain pitches his tool that will save firefighter’s lives to Butch and Rooster; a roof step that helps firefighters to do their job faster and safer. This firefighter feels the heat as he has to face the fire head on. The negotiations take an unexpected turn as things get physical.
