Shark Tank’s Daymond John
Joining me is Daymond John. He’s one of the stars of Shark Tank, the incredibly popular show where entrepreneurs try to raise money from him and other investors.
I heard of Daymond back when I worked for my dad’s store as kid in Brooklyn. One day this guy walked into the store wearing a FUBU logo. A few days after that it felt like everyone was walking around in FUBU, which stands for “For Us, By Us.”
I will always remember how authentic that brand was and the sense of pride people had who wore it. In this interview I want to find out how he built that company. I also want to find out about the investments he’s made on Shark Tank and how he thinks about investing in companies.
And I’ll ask him about his latest company, Blueprint + Co. Blueprint + Co is a co-working space where you get more than just a desk. It comes with the conveniences of cafes and concierge and support for founders.

I heard someone say that FUBU stood for, “For us,...
