He talks about the hustler spirit instilled in him, pressing up their own tapes and vinyl to sell just to be heard. I'm inspired when he shares the creative ways they pushed forward independently, before later getting a sobering glimpse of the major label machine. Sway saw gaps in the industry and rather than feel deterred, he found ways to educate himself and forge his own path.

The conversation shifts as Sway traces his transition from aspiring rapper to pioneering host of the nationally-syndicated Wake Up Show on radio and later TV. He understood the power of delivering authentic information through a mainstream platform. Ultimately it's Sway's connection with people that propelled him into legend status.

Though much of his fascinating story remains untold, Sway leaves me with some hard-earned wisdom about longevity in this industry. He embodies the resilience, vision and creativity that it takes to succeed on your own terms. His journey is a testament that persistence and authenticity ultimately win. I'm grateful to call him friend, role model and consequence of the hustler spirit.

Mixed in with anecdotes about his experiences performing at different venues and how he treats each show as a learning opportunity, he also got into his short-lived Saturday Night Live writer career that landed him new opportunities and what it was actually like auditioning for Curb with legendary Larry David (who he met for the first time when he walked into the audition room). 

In typical JB form, he had me cracking up even while giving some of the most insightful comments and strategies that I’ve ever heard, from his methods for overcoming failure to his commitment to remaining authentic to the importance of wanting everybody - not just you - to win. 

This episode of That Moment with Daymond John is such a fun discussion with note-taking-worthy lessons and takeaways for any listener. As JB explains (and you’ll have to tune in to hear how you can actually do this), you have to be the one driving your car and controlling how other people respect you, and I’m grateful he took the time to share his powerful journey with myself and all of the listeners.

From the early days of our relationship when many doubted we would last, to the joys and challenges of raising our beautiful daughter Minka, we hold nothing back. We discuss the realities of being an interracial couple in today's society and the unique obstacles we've faced along the way.

Through it all, we've learned invaluable lessons about love, patience, and the power of open communication. We hope that by sharing our truth, we can inspire others to live authentically and fight for the relationships that matter most.

Join us for this candid exploration of race, family, and the unbreakable bond of love. It's a conversation that will make you think, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear. Most importantly, it's a reminder that our differences can be our greatest strengths.

Losing loved ones to cancer made me realize how important early detection and screening really is. I spoke with Brian Custer, a sports broadcaster and 10-year prostate cancer survivor, along with Dr. Arif Kamal of the American Cancer Society about this silent killer that's on the rise, especially among Black men. 

Getting the facts out there and encouraging men to get screened literally saves lives - if Brian hadn't gone for his annual physicals and PSA tests, his aggressive cancer would likely have killed him within a year. I know the anxieties guys feel about tests like the digital rectal exam, but it only takes seconds and chemotherapy takes much longer and makes you way sicker. Catching prostate cancer early gives you a 98-99% survival rate; once it spreads the odds drop big time.

Brian kept his diagnosis hidden at first, worried about sexual side effects making him less of a man. But his surgeon said with fame comes responsibility. Use your platform to tell other guys, especially men of color, to see their doctor and ignore the stigma. Brian came clean publicly right before surgery and has been outspoken since to empower others. 

Same for me after thyroid cancer - I decided any embarrassment or discomfort on my part was trivial next to leaving my young daughters without a father. Getting checked and surviving to protect my family gives purpose to my life. So tune out that little devil on your shoulder putting doubts, excuses and fear in your head when it comes to getting screened. Show your loved ones you value your life together by taking charge of your health. Call your doctor’s office right now and book an appointment while you’re thinking about it!

Your ego is not your amigo, and sometimes /i didn’t trust my gut. Ryan asked how I got endorsements before “influencer marketing” existed. Wait till you hear my tactic for getting LL Cool J!

Mentors have been huge for me. I love mentors who provide value without expecting anything in return. My daughters put me onto trends I need to know about - reverse mentors tell it like it is!

I gave the audience a sneak peek at my new financial literacy vision focused on young entrepreneurs. If we can make this happen, it really changes the whole game.

I started the Rise Nation Mastermind to surround myself with high performers solving real problems in real-time. I don’t play when it comes to getting complacent and lazy. Surround yourself with greatness.

Sitting down with Ryan, I know everyone soaked up the motivation and marketing gems they can take action on right away.

The key is doing it today, not waiting until tomorrow. Don’t just talk about it, be about it. Hustlers don't sleep, they put in the work 24/7. You’ll be amazed by what happens when you show up to your dreams and give 110% effort daily.

You’ll never guess what happened when Cat was finally exonerated after seven long years. I welcomed my long-lost friend into my new empire at FUBU. I’ll never forget the amazement in Cat’s eyes that first day surveying my Empire State Building office, with fine art and saltwater fish tanks surrounding us. Though I had “made it,” deep down I was still that kid from Queens. With Cat back, it felt like old times.

Cat was driven to build his own fortune. But when harassment and threats endangered Cat’s fresh start, I made it my personal mission to safely bring my friend home each night. You’ll be moved hearing how I protected Cat.

The conversation continues into surprising new territory today. From stolen luxury cars to backstage stories with hip hop legends, Cat and I go deeper into our winding road to success. I confess my early regrets and near-death moments along the way. Cat shares how small bets doing magic and minor business failures transformed into a mega brand and reality TV fame.

Through triumph, trauma, and second chances, an unbreakable brotherly bond has kept Cat and I firmly rooted in our pasts while reaching toward bigger dreams. There are more unbelievable revelations in store today. So get ready for part two!

But our fortunes forked down radically divergent paths one fateful day when Cat got thrown in prison for a bone-chilling stretch...for a horrifying crime he never actually committed.

With Cat caged behind bars, my clothing business exploded into a worldwide phenomenon. But while I jet-setted to glitzy red carpets around the globe, my man was eating slop, dodging shanks, and scraping to survive each day in a soul-crushing cell.

After nearly a decade incarcerated, Cat finally emerged from prison into a strange new world, with a warehouse of mind-blowing stories no one's heard publicly before now. From bowls of maggoty prison gruel and riots in the yard, to cozying up with criminals and cons, Cat's seen it all.

You'll NEVER guess the twisted characters he became cellmates with!

Luckily Cat managed to stay positive and kept his mad street smarts locked down tight. Because between corrupt guards, ruthless gang wars, and batting back the excruciating pain of his squashed dream, my man stared down the precipice of losing his grip on reality more times than he can count.

But after all Cat's been through, he still keeps it ultra-real. Hear his unbelievable battles first-hand when Cat and I take it back on my podcast. From golden boxing gloves to shivs and shanks, you WON'T BELIEVE the twists and turns his journey took!

So tune in for PART 1 of my raw, no-holds-barred conversation with Cat. His mind-blowing saga is one HELLUVA rollercoaster ride!

I sat with Josh and we had some great laughs while also really diving into the moments that have defined his life so far. As a parent to two sons, Josh broke down the parenting styles that he and his wife naturally lean into, and he had some stories that fellow parents know all too well.

Josh also explained the importance of looking forwards, whether it’s in your career or personal life, and using the past only as a teaching tool. This is especially key when it comes to feeling like you deserve to be where you are. Imposter syndrome is something that can impact anyone - trust me, I get it! But Josh shared his perspective on how to overcome the feeling when it comes on, and how to make sure no one else in the room views you as an imposter. When you work hard, you earn your spot, and you’ll want to hear how he makes sure he doesn’t forget it!

Of course, we also discussed his social media. You don’t have as loyal of a following as he does if you aren’t putting in the work to connect with your audience and analyze what they do and don’t want to see. For anyone looking to build your brand, this conversation is key.

You don’t want to miss this.

After taking a 12-year hiatus from opera, Limmie returned more empowered to confront biases head-on. When the pandemic threatened his comeback, a chance Clubhouse friendship opened unexpected doors, from “kitchen concerts” to an offer from LA Opera soon having him make history singing lead roles no other Black man had at the Met.

Yet through dizzying career highs and deep personal losses, Limmie credits his family and friends for keeping him anchored through grief and self-doubt. His is a triumph of spirit, talent, and grace. Limmie teaches us that we must be ready when fortune shines on us, even in adversity. His perseverance through unimaginable barriers makes him an inspiration to me and a rare talent to watch.

As a veteran in leveraging connections to build ventures, even I was surprised by recent stats confirming the unmatched power of networking. Reports reinforce what I've witnessed in the trenches - an overwhelming majority of opportunities come through who you know. 

As fundamentally social creatures, we thrive interacting face-to-face. While efficient, screens inevitably dilute the richness of relationship building possible when mingling in shared spaces. Moments brainstorming or swapping stories in real life is where the seeds of big ideas or barrier-breaking businesses often sprout.

Energized by these insights, you'll now catch me vigorously networking - probing strangers for talent worth connecting, mining friends for undiscovered opportunities, or listening intently for the next frontier to conquer. By consistently putting promising personalities together, chances rise dramatically breakthroughs will follow. 

It's only a matter of time before another game-changing company or product emerges from your expanding ecosystem of connections. Even industry veterans can catalyze bigger impact by tapping the everlasting power of relationships. Stay tuned for more trade secrets!

You might be wondering what this has to do with That Moment, but it’s important to remember that the more you learn, the more you set yourself up to have that moment in the future, whether it’s that moment when you close the deal you’ve been working your tail off to secure, that moment when you recognize that it’s time to switch up the business strategy you’ve been defaulting to, or even that moment when your personal life mirrors someone else’s life who you’ve been able to listen to and see how they reacted to the situation you’re in.

So even if a discussion doesn’t seem inherently related to a particular moment, you can still come back to it as a resource for setting up that moment for yourself.

You'd never believe what a few simple items can do. Back in the early days of television, shows were often sponsored by household brands to push product. Hence that catchy nickname for the genre that stuck.

Fast forward years later. I was hustling hard just to get by, working a day job in the service industry. But I had an idea, a creative way to break in to my dream field.

I pulled together a micro-budget and small but ambitious team. We had barely enough resources to get the ball rolling. But we made that modest capital work magic through sheer will and imagination.

Soon I saw we could create the perception of scale from practically thin air. I leveraged relationships to get our limited items viewed by tons of eyeballs.

Before I even realized, everyone thought I was a huge success with an empire underneath me. I became an overnight name in my industry.

The power of video and visuals made it possible. Today anyone can tap into that with just a smartphone and authentic stories. Production polish isn't needed - just truth and transparency.

I won't spoil my full origin journey here. Let's just say a few simple items, an ambitious team, tireless hustle and the power of video changed everything. Years later people still can't believe what we pulled off. Stay tuned for the improbable story soon!

He talks about the hustler spirit instilled in him, pressing up their own tapes and vinyl to sell just to be heard. I'm inspired when he shares the creative ways they pushed forward independently, before later getting a sobering glimpse of the major label machine. Sway saw gaps in the industry and rather than feel deterred, he found ways to educate himself and forge his own path.

The conversation shifts as Sway traces his transition from aspiring rapper to pioneering host of the nationally-syndicated Wake Up Show on radio and later TV. He understood the power of delivering authentic information through a mainstream platform. Ultimately it's Sway's connection with people that propelled him into legend status.

Though much of his fascinating story remains untold, Sway leaves me with some hard-earned wisdom about longevity in this industry. He embodies the resilience, vision and creativity that it takes to succeed on your own terms. His journey is a testament that persistence and authenticity ultimately win. I'm grateful to call him friend, role model and consequence of the hustler spirit.

What's the key to a more profitable business? New research reveals a surprising factor - embrace diversity in leadership. Organizations with the most varied mix of ethnicities, genders, and perspectives at the top vastly outperformed the rest.

Why does diversity pay such rich dividends? By gathering unique viewpoints, you spark more innovation and creativity. You also connect better with a wider consumer base, tuning into diverse needs. There are even intrinsic rewards, as blending histories and stories leads to greater collective wisdom.

Diversity isn't about quotas - it's about talent. As one quote puts it, the goal is simply finding "brilliant people, no matter what color you are." Excluding groups overlooks genius that could fuel success.

By complementing different strengths, diversity promotes the synergy needed to pull ahead. So focus less on surface distinctions, more on the skills each person offers.

Intrigued by how this shapes innovation, relatability and fulfillment too? Stay tuned to unlock the full findings on why inclusive leadership matters to both culture and the bottom line. The benefits across the board will surprise you!

Even if you don’t know Cody from his comedy sketches and commentary videos (2 billion+ views!), you may have heard his massively popular Tiny Meat Gang podcast. Turns out this digital funnyman is quite the serial achiever, constantly challenging himself to excel across music, touring, and yes, triathlons too.

But grinding so hard through your twenties takes a toll. As Cody shares honestly, once the pandemic hit, he struggled to stay focused working alone at home. Like many entrepreneurs hustling 24/7 pre-COVID, he admits falling into some unhealthy coping mechanisms originally meant to relieve stress.

I won’t spoil the details, but let’s just say Cody’s bubbly optimism went off the rails for some time in 2020. Having been in similar ruts myself, I could relate all too well to the isolation and self-confidence crisis. Luckily for both of us, a major wake up call was just around the corner.

From staring failure in the eyes to bouncing back tougher than ever, Cody recalls the exact “aha moment” that got him back on track mentally and physically. It came via an unlikely invite from family to push his ultra-athlete skills to the max.

What challenge did Cody take on that renewed his belief in bettering himself daily? How did this ordeal make him an even funnier, more humble comedian too? Check out our raw life chat to find out! Just don’t be surprised if you dash off to sign up for a marathon afterwards. Cody’s drive is downright infectious.

I once thought I knew everything there was to know about business. The metrics and models I had relied on thus far had worked. Revenue was growing steadily thanks to a calculated strategy of maximizing efficiency, streamlining operations, and scaling fast. Success metrics were stellar across the board. Or so I believed. Turns out I may have left out the most important measure of all.

You see, customers don't just buy products or services. They buy into perceived intentions and values. Do you truly have their best interest at heart? Or are they just transactions to extract money from? I claimed the former while behaving as the latter. My hypocrisy seeped through eventually.

In my hubris, I assumed I knew what people needed better than they did. So I stuck to the script that worked before, refusing to deviate no matter who got left out in the process. Turns out my audience was far more discerning than I gave them credit for. They could sniff out false promises a mile away. So they went searching for authenticity elsewhere while I stubbornly doubled down.

Pride comes before the fall. And the higher you fly, the steeper the drop when wings melt. I had to learn that lesson the hardest way possible before finally changing my approach. Now connection is king. The rest flows freely once you genuinely understand people and meet them where they are. Turns out businesses don't scale - relationships do.

Our lively chat covered the importance of preserving hip hop's past for future generations. Ralph opened my eyes to just how vital capturing cultural moments can be. Without his  incredible foresight to comprehensively archive footage, photos and interviews back in the day, we'd be missing out on a vital visual record of hip hop's formative years.

It was illuminating to hear Ralph's unique perspective on key themes like community activism, cross-generational dialogue and the importance of meeting youth where they're at. He shared invaluable tips that anyone working with children and teens would benefit from tremendously.

Of course we also traded some laughs and motivational stories about hustling products and navigating everyday situations. Comparing approaches on things like returning items to stores revealed thought-provoking differences in how men and women handle such tasks.

I was thrilled when Ralph gave me an exclusive sneak peek into his new children's book "Roscoe Learns About Video Music Box." Educating the next generation about hip hop history in such an interactive, engaging way is such a smart idea. I'll be first in line to grab a copy for my daughters when it drops later this year!

The openness, wisdom and passion Ralph brought to our conversation left me feeling inspired. I gained crucial new knowledge about preserving and passing down culture. If you want a crash course in appreciating hip hop's proud heritage, Ralph McDaniels is the undisputed master. Tune in later to hear our chat in full - trust me, you won't want to miss it!

I recently had an eye-opening chat that challenged my views on work-life balance. It centered around an old saying - "we do today what others won't to achieve tomorrow." It made me think twice about how I spend my summer Fridays. When 3 PM rolls around, most dash out the door to start the weekend early. But what if that time could be used more strategically instead?

I learned about someone who leveraged those quiet Friday afternoons in the office to get ahead. While everyone else was mentally checked-out, he put in extra hours on passion projects. His dedication paid off enormously -- in the span of just two years! The story made me wonder...what opportunities am I missing by following the herd?

It was thought-provoking to hear how small pivots outside the norm can reap big rewards down the road. Sometimes going against the grain -- temporarily -- is needed to produce outsized returns later. Of course, I wouldn't suggest overworking or unnecessary sacrifice. It's more about being open to adjusting your mindset in little ways when the chance arises. Demonstrating that level of commitment and pushing yourself to think bigger...those leadership qualities truly get noticed by key decision makers.

As the founder of BestSelf Co and the creator of the wildly popular Self Journal that has taken over social media, Cathryn has built an empire empowering people to unlock their full potential through goal-setting and intentional living. But there's so much more to her story that you likely haven't heard.

Trust me when I say Cathryn's journey has been anything but conventional. This rebellious entrepreneur was running full-fledged business operations in elementary school out of her mother's kitchen (I'll let Cathryn tell you exactly what those were). But flashforward from baking up a storm to studying architecture for nearly 7 years in college and grad school. Yup, you read that right! Listen in as Cathryn gets vulnerable about the uncertainty she faced and the calculated risks that eventually paid off in unimaginable ways.

And this episode is jam-packed with so many golden nuggets of business, mindset and manifestation wisdom as Cathryn reflects on the major inflection points along her journey. You'll discover the unlikely way she met her business partner, the failures and wins they faced together, as well as the one game-changing piece of advice Cathryn received that completely transformed her relationship with her customers.

I found myself furiously scribbling down notes during our exchange because Cathryn brilliantly broke down the exact templates and frameworks she's created for others to succeed. From morning rituals to unlocking productivity, sales funnels and minimalist marketing strategies, she generously shares the details other "gurus" often keep hidden behind paywalls and closed doors.

So pull out your journals and prepare to have your mind blown as we uncover the secrets behind BestSelf's meteoric rise and the unlikely serial entrepreneur who started it all! Cathryn brought the straight fire and kept it real the entire conversation - if you're ready for pure inspiration and non-BS business advice from a self-made queen, press play NOW!

Success in business requires taking risks and being vulnerable to failure. Fear of embarrassment and rejection often holds entrepreneurs back from taking the necessary chances to grow. However, failure is an essential part of the journey, providing valuable lessons that pave the way for future triumphs. Rather than viewing failure as something to avoid at all costs, it helps to reframe it as an opportunity for progress. Small failures today prevent big mistakes tomorrow that could negatively impact not just you but potentially also your investors and employees. By getting those initial hurdles out of the way early on, you position yourself for more significant accomplishments down the road with greater responsibility. The key is controlling your mindset and actions. If you go into it terrified of failing and obsessed about what others will think, you likely won't take the risks, and your business won't advance. However, if you embrace failure as a learning experience and remain focused on growth, you will move forward without inhibition. While the public nature of business makes failure uncomfortable, it is impossible to entirely avoid. Better to fail cheaply and quickly than crumble under the weight and pressure of success. So banish fears of embarrassment and forge ahead boldly, collecting lessons and wisdom that will serve you well in the future. The most resilient and prosperous business people adopt this mentality, recognizing failure as a badge of honor rather than something to hide. Let failure strengthen rather than stop you.

I’ve been friends with Rob for a while now, and our first formal interview was a couple years back. The way he was able to break down how he revolutionized product integration, created a TV empire on his own terms, and pushes himself to be better every single day is something that I still think about today!

In this episode, Rob opens up about the hard lessons he’s had to learn the hard way when it comes to thoughtful planning, hiring the right people, and realizing you can’t just throw money at problems. I could relate to so many experiences he shared! He talks about the mistakes made assuming his personal brand could sell any product and scale any idea without the diligent homework and structure.

Rob also shares his genius for tapping into other platforms, whether it’s a TV network or other company's distribution. He is able to recognize unused assets and negotiate deals to utilize them by offering upside through royalties and equity. But he stresses you have to plan properly and know what success looks like or you end up overextended!

I love how Rob has relentless personal energy and passion that infectiously drives his organization, but he admits he can take on too much. He wants to create systems and processes to nurture ideas simultaneously and scale them. One huge insight he shares is around the importance of building your personal brand in alignment with your business branding in an authentic way - something I could not agree more with!

I recently came across a fascinating study by the Kauffman Foundation, and what I found was both surprising and inspiring. It turns out that a significant number of today's Fortune 500 companies share an unexpected commonality – their origins. These companies, now towering giants in the corporate world, started their journey during times that were anything but stable. Imagine launching a business when the economy seems as fragile as a crumbled Nature Valley bar – daunting, right?

These innovators didn't just see chaos; they saw a canvas ripe with opportunity. This fact alone reshapes our understanding of success and its relationship with uncertainty. But just how many of these companies emerged during such times? The percentage is as shocking as it is inspiring.

These corporate pioneers didn't just survive; they thrived, crafting new paths amidst financial storms. They serve as a powerful reminder: when the market bears loom, and stocks tumble, stagnation isn't the only option. This period of instability could be the hidden gem, the perfect time to sow the seeds of your innovative ideas.

So, as I navigate through my daily 9 to 5, I can't help but wonder: could the next economic downturn be the catalyst for my success story? It's a question worth pondering. When the bears prowl Wall Street next, it could be your cue not to hide but to step up and carve your path to greatness. Remember, the most unexpected times could be the start of something extraordinary!

It takes a confident but strategic person to try your hand in a whole new skillset, but Eriq knew he had what it took to pivot from a successful acting and directing career to an author status (without skipping a beat when it comes to continuing to create and star in new film/TV!). He joined me on That Moment to share the moments that led to him releasing the latest book in his fiction series and what he has in the works on and behind the camera.

Eriq shared some powerful insights that listeners will definitely learn from, like:

• Where the drive to become an author actually came from

• What to do when you’ve done literally everything right…but still can’t succeed

• Navigating industries that are known for being cutthroat and forming genuine relationships

• Finding inspiration as you try to figure out what’s next for yourself

• Why you need to prepare before the opportunity is even there

• Making room for everyone in your space and the importance of representation

• And more!

You'll never believe the crazy story of how one fateful decision took Michael Jordan from basketball phenom to a global brand worth over a billion dollars! This tale involves a major crossover into the world of sneakers, a risky partnership with an unlikely upstart company, and Jordan's mother playing a pivotal role behind the scenes.

When MJ was approached by this small athletic brand in 1984, he wasn't interested at first. However, his mom convinced him to take the meeting that would change the course of his career. What transpired in that conversation altered the future of sports marketing forever!

While Jordan was ready to go with the established market leader, his mother's intuition led him down a different path. The gamble that an unknown player in the shoe game took on MJ paid off big time for both parties. I'm talking BILLIONS made from the iconic shoe collaboration that kicked off in 1984!

This story shows why you should always be open to unexpected opportunities, even if it means taking a leap of faith. Had Jordan stuck with the safe choice, he may never have become the business mogul he is today.

Tune in to find out how one meeting launched the richest sponsorship deal in sports history! I won't spoil the surprise ending or spill all the business lessons I learned from MJ's journey. You'll have to listen to the full episode if you want the inside scoop on how Jordan scored big financially with some savvy moves guided by his momager. This is an inspirational tale you won't want to miss!

The time is now, entrepreneurs. Stop waiting for the perfect moment - the stars will never fully align. You have an idea burning inside, a passion that wakes you up at night. It's time to stoke that fire and channel your energy into momentum.

Maybe you're afraid of the risks, the inevitable roadblocks and naysayers. But think of the regret you'll feel if you never try. The 15th season of Shark Tank reminds us that business success takes courage. It's a leap of faith that great ideas and tireless hustle will win out.

Imagine looking back years from now, wishing you had trusted yourself and taken that leap. The greatest rewards await those willing to bet on their vision when others won't. Every entrepreneur has heard "no" countless times before their big breakthrough. Prove the doubters wrong through uncompromising effort and belief.

Your idea has lived in your head long enough - time to show the world. Turn your plans into action, your vision into reality. There will be challenges, but staying true to your purpose will pull you through. Pay no mind to the clock or calendar - there are no constraints except those you impose on yourself.

Let the entrepreneurs on Shark Tank, now in its 15th season, inspire you. But understand you don't need investment or approval from others. With passion and grit, you hold the power to make it happen. The only permission you need is from yourself.

So wake up each day ready to outwork yesterday. Fuel yourself with optimism, not doubt. The only difference between you and those at the top is that they refused to quit. Your ascent begins the moment you decide to take the first step. The world awaits your efforts, dreamer - start climbing!

Feeling included and respected at work is key for innovation and engagement. According to a Deloitte survey, 83% of millennials are more engaged when their company fosters an inclusive culture. While you may not be a millennial, we all crave that sense of belonging. Think about the bosses and coworkers you've loved working with most. Chances are, they made you feel heard, valued your input, and welcomed you to brainstorm together. But the coworkers who shut you down and cut you out? Not so motivating. So be the inclusive leader and colleague you wish you had. Make it a point to listen, take ideas seriously, and invite participation. You'll be amazed at how it unlocks creativity and goodwill. People support and innovate for leaders who respect them. Your team will go the extra mile if you go out of your way to make them feel included. So foster that open, collaborative spirit. Get ready to see engagement soar.

Expect more hilarious memories of us sneaking Keith into studios with his "gifts," building a factory in our Queens house, and getting a surprise visit from ODB that left us shook.

From Puffy to Biggie, you'll hear how we won over giants despite the haters insisting we'd never make it in fashion.

It wasn't always glamorous, but we reflect on crazy moments that capture the essence of entrepreneurship - taking big risks, learning from failures, and staying true to your vision against all odds. Packed with inspiration and hard-earned wisdom from unlikely moguls, this is the unconventional blueprint for how four kids from Hollis built a global phenomenon that still resonates today.

It's time to take that first big step on your entrepreneurial journey. According to business experts, it only takes about six days to officially start a small business in the United States. Just six days to make it real and put a stake in the ground. Six days and you've gone from dreaming to doing. From an idea in your head to a registered business entity. Sure, you'll still have plenty to do after those first six days. There's marketing to plan, operations to build, products and services to develop. But taking those first six days sets everything in motion.

It creates momentum. It lights a fire under you to make it happen. So what are you waiting for? Take the leap. Spend a motivated week filing the paperwork and getting ready to launch. Then walk into every room with your head held high, proud to say you're not just thinking about starting a business, you've actually done it. Let the sense of accomplishment from those first six days propel you through the rest of the journey. Turn possibility into reality in less than a week.

From getting inspired by Kahlil Kain and almost losing our first big deal out of ignorance, to turning our Queens house into a factory and Keith sneaking into video shoots with "gifts" for the talent, we're pulling back the curtain. I'll take you inside those long nights in the studio with legends like Redman and Wu-Tang, and Carl will explain how he decided music was the natural next move for FUBU. 

You'll hear how we leveraged our genuine friendships in hip hop to take the biggest risk of our career, the crazy story of ODB showing up at our house, and why Drake and others still rep FUBU hard today. No topic is off limits - we get real about the cost to our personal lives, beefs between partners, and the hard choices we made chasing our dreams. This is the unfiltered origin story of a culture-shifting phenomenon. Let's take it back to how it all started and reflect on the wild ride to get where we are today. Get ready for some inspirational tales and hilarious memories you can't miss!

The story of how, after 2 years, a chance encounter with strangers was what it took to snap Fat Joe out of his state of grieving is the type that really embodies being at the right place, at the right time, and it’s only because of his loss that he was even at this place to begin with! I won’t spoil it here, but Fat Joe was able to turn criticism into the fuel he needed to drive him back on top.

One of the crazier moments he reflected on was when all of NYC shoe stores were looted except two of them - and he owned both. As you’ll hear in the episode, it’s really a testament to how much the community valued the respect that he continued to show them even after he made it big. 

You’ll also appreciate learning how Fat Joe developed a healthy sense of paranoia and how this translates into his relationships - I definitely walked away with a new perspective on how to balance optimism and vulnerability with protecting yourself and your brand.

The moment he honed in on was one that too many of us can relate to - being told we’ll never be able to do what we say we want to accomplish. But the way he responded both in his words and his actions is so powerful and something everyone needs to take into account next time they hit a wall.

Jon also got candid about how prominent dishonesty is in his line of work and how he handles stealing and disingenuous employees. It’s not all negative in hospitality, though - Jon actually has the only patent related to music in restaurants, and the science behind how he curates every single restaurant and bar experience for his patrons is such an interesting reveal into how strategic the things we often overlook in a restaurant actually are.

Mixed in with anecdotes about his experiences performing at different venues and how he treats each show as a learning opportunity, he also got into his short-lived Saturday Night Live writer career that landed him new opportunities and what it was actually like auditioning for Curb with legendary Larry David (who he met for the first time when he walked into the audition room). 

In typical JB form, he had me cracking up even while giving some of the most insightful comments and strategies that I’ve ever heard, from his methods for overcoming failure to his commitment to remaining authentic to the importance of wanting everybody - not just you - to win. 

This episode of That Moment with Daymond John is such a fun discussion with note-taking-worthy lessons and takeaways for any listener.
