Brittany Hizer is a Cathedral grad and mother. She joined forces with another mom to create the world's first and only self-sanitizing changing table for public restrooms.

The hit ABC show, Shark Tank, is hosting an open call at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.But before you go, WRTV spoke to two moms who made their Shark Tank debut on a past season with their best tips and advice for your budding business.Addie Gundry's problem was the pain many parents feel in public, the dreaded diaper blow out.

"I had to keep bending down to get the diapers and then the wipes and then the change of clothes and there was no where to put my purse and the safety strap was broken," said Addie Gundry, now mom of two."And my purse kept falling off my shoulder. I dropped my pacifier and all I kept thinking was how could I put my precious cargo down on something so filthy."She says she wonders, who knows when it was last cleaned or sanitized?And she got to work.

"I was a new mom myself," said Hizer."I was traveling for work, so having to use a lot of public diaper changing tables, from airports to rest stops." She shows off the comfortable foam pad for the baby, a more squishy surface than your typical plastic changing table. There are hooks and places to hold your bag or purse so your things are up off the dirty bathroom floors. The safety strap for the baby comes out from one side and retracts so it stays clean inside the device and fits snug across the baby.

"You know we have a 50 page document of what questions we may be asked and how to answer them," said Gundry."So it was really neat just internally for us as a team to prepare." As for Pluie, they may not have made a deal with the sharks, but the exposure the show provided opened many doors to new customers and helped them feel really secure in their pitch and business.
