DAYMOND JOHN BIOGRAPHY

Daymond John, widely recognized as a prominent entrepreneur, branding expert, and television personality, has made an indelible mark on the global business landscape. Best known for his role on ABC’s hit show “Shark Tank,” Daymond is also a distinguished Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. His expertise spans various domains, including entrepreneurship, marketing, branding, financial literacy, and goal-setting strategies, making him a highly sought-after speaker at prestigious events and Fortune 100 companies.

Daymond initially captured the world’s attention as the founder of FUBU’s groundbreaking lifestyle brand, which revolutionized the streetwear market and amassed over $6 billion in global retail sales. Starting from the streets of Hollis, Queens, he launched FUBU from the basement of his mother’s house, capitalizing on the burgeoning hip-hop culture. Today, the streetwear market that FUBU pioneered has grown into a $20 billion industry, solidifying Daymond’s legacy as a visionary entrepreneur.

In 2009, Daymond joined the cast of “Shark Tank,” a business reality show produced by Mark Burnett. Over eight seasons, the show has garnered four Emmy Awards, multiple Critic’s Choice Awards, and millions of dollars in investments, becoming one of the most successful business reality series of all time. Known as “The People’s Shark,” Daymond has been a staple on the show, offering invaluable insights and support to aspiring entrepreneurs. His contributions have made “Shark Tank” the most-watched program on Friday nights.

Beyond his television career, Daymond has authored three books, with his latest, “The Power of Broke,” debuting at #2 on the New York Times Best-Seller list and winning the 2017 NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Literary Work – Instructional.” This book explores how entrepreneurs who start with limited resources can leverage creativity and efficiency to achieve success. His previous works, “Display of Power” and “The Brand Within,” were also national best-sellers, but “The Power of Broke” stands out as the only New York Times best-selling book from any of the Sharks.

Daymond’s dedication to entrepreneurship extends beyond his business ventures and literary accomplishments. In 2015, he was appointed Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, participating in the Global Entrepreneur Summit in Kenya and accompanying President Obama on his historic trip to Cuba. Additionally, Daymond has been a passionate advocate for dyslexia awareness, working with the Yale Center for Dyslexia and serving on the advisory board of Understood.org. His battle with dyslexia has fueled his determination and success as a public speaker and author.

Daymond John on hip-hop, his mom and making it big

CNN Money

These days, Daymond John is best known as the impeccably dressed star investor of reality show Shark Tank, but his reputation -- and his millions -- were first made as the co-founder and chief executive of sportswear maker FUBU ("For Us By Us.") Founded in 1992, FUBU became synonymous with hip-hop. But the glitz belied the brand’s humble beginnings. John started off by sewing sweatshirts and hats in the living room of the house where he was raised by his single mom. Against the odds, his clothing line and the music he loved, became ubiquitous.

Entrepreneur

Daymond John is the reason I became an entrepreneur. When his clothing brand, FUBU, first launched I was in junior high school. I was immediately drawn to the bold designs and the associated status wearing his clothes would bring me. But, since we had already done back to school shopping, my mother wasn't willing to buy me anything I didn't need.
