Daymond John and Chase Jarvis on 30 Days Of Genius
If there’s a formula for turning your dreams into reality, Daymond has it– and it starts with setting ambitious but achievable goals.

Daymond John is a modern renaissance man. As the founder of iconic brand FUBU he first built his name in the apparel business, taking FUBU from a side hustle to over $6 billion in sales. He’s one of the stars of ABC’s Shark Tank and his most recent book The Power Of Broke made him a New York Times bestselling author. He’s the CEO of Shark Branding, which has names like Muhammad Ali, the Kardashians, and Pitbull on its list of clients.

In today’s episode we talk about:

  • Visualization & Goals. Daymond talks about 10 goals that he reads every morning and night 5 days a week. 7 of the goals expire in 6 months, 2 in 5 years, and 1 in 20 years.
  • How Daymond took FUBU from a side hustle to over 6 billion in sales
  • Near the end of the show we discuss life long learning — a subject that’s near and dear to my heart.

Enjoy!

Being around like-minded people and mentors are the number one reason for success.
