"Scream as loud as you can": Shark Tank investor Lori Greiner shares safety tips for individuals who are often alone

Shark Tank's Lori Greiner shared safety tips for those often "out, about, and alone" via her latest Instagram clip on April 14, 2025. She opened up about various safety tips for what to carry, what paths to take while going on walks or runs, and more.

The female entrepreneur stated carrying a "pepper spray" is important. For fitness enthusiasts who often go on walks and runs, Lori mentioned opting for a day-light time would be safe. Also, the paths you are taking for your walks should be "populated."

The Shark Tank investor advised that when "something" happens, scream "as loud as you can" so that people around you can learn about you:

"It's important to carry pepper spray, I think. Try to do it during daylight hours and in populated areas, that's running or walking. And if something ever happens, scream as loud as you can to draw other people's attention. I care about you, stay safe," she said.

Shark Tank investor Lori Greiner shares safety tips for individuals staying alone and going on walks and runs often

The latest Instagram clip from Shark Tank mentor Lori Greiner discusses the importance of being safe. She shared some safety tips for those who are often "alone." She advised individuals always to stay "aware" of their surroundings.

As we all know, everyone is busy with their smartphones and mostly wearing headphones. For those, Lori advised wearing only one side of the earphones and keeping the other side open.

Also, music should not be too loud so you can not hear what is happening around you. The reason for that, she stated, was to stay informed of what's "going on" around you:

"It's so important to me for you to be safe. So here's some safety tips for when you're out, about, and alone. Always be aware of your surroundings, and if you're wearing headphones, always keep one ear open and your music not up too loud so you can hear what's going on around you," Shark Tank mentor said.

Further in the video, Lori mentioned to keep on changing the routes for your walks and runs. If you take the same route for your everyday walk/ run, your behavior will be predictable and unsafe. By varying the routes, no one can predict which route you will be taking and that way, you will stay safe.

The female entrepreneur also said that whenever you're going somewhere, let someone know when you will return. It can be a family member or a friend. So that if you are not back by then, they will know that you have not yet reached out and will inquire about you.

"Try to vary the routes you walk, the paths you run so your behavior's not predictable, and always let someone know where you're going and when you're expected to be back."

Lastly, the Shark Tank judge advised to keep a pepper spray handy. For running and walking, she added that fitness enthusiasts should go on walks/ runs during the day. She concluded the video by mentioning that if you ever get in trouble, "scream" loudly and let those around you know.
