Daymond John biography
FUBU’s founder and Shark Tank star, business speaker Daymond John has changed the face of American business and fashion. A successful investor and inspiring keynote speaker, Daymond John celebrates the power of authenticity, diligence, and resourcefulness.
Above all, Daymond John is known to millions as Shark Tank’s methodical eye of the storm, and from his bestselling books. He established himself as a leading executive by taking a steady, measured approach to growth in a rapidly expanding market.
As a budding entrepreneur in Hollis, Queens, John grew up in the cradle of hip-hop culture. Neighbors like Run-DMC and LL Cool J established a new musical genre; John established new markets for hip-hop fashion. FUBU—For Us, By Us—was both a statement of self-determination and an announcement that hip-hop culture extended beyond music.
When LL Cool J snuck a FUBU reference into a GAP ad a few years later, FUBU’s popularity again exploded. Streetwear had arrived, and with it a new way of seeing the entire fashion spectrum, from sneakers to formalwear. By 1998, FUBU grossed more than $350 million.
John became notable in business circles for his marketing acumen and for his ability to scale up his business. Shortly after he joined Shark Tank, John wrote The Brand Within, the first of his immensely popular books. The Power of Broke reveals how tight budgets and empty pockets can teach lastingly valuable business lessons. Rise and Grind encourages readers to outhustle the competition, and Powershift is a masterclass in turning change to one’s advantage.
