Daymond John

Daymond John turned a $40 budget, a borrowed sewing machine, and an unshakeable belief in hip-hop culture into FUBU, a global lifestyle brand with more than $6 billion in product sales. The journey from hand-sewing hats in his mother’s Queens basement to his role as an investor and star on ABC’s Emmy Award-winning Shark Tank is a story about entrepreneurship, branding, persistence, and what it actually means to build something from nothing. John speaks on entrepreneurship, branding, marketing, goal setting, and the mindset he calls the Power of Broke. He is a Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author and a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, appointed by President Obama.
