Daymond John on Building a Life That Lasts

The Playbook With David Meltzer

In today’s episode, I sit down with Daymond John, the founder of FUBU and longtime Shark Tank investor, to talk about the values, priorities, and decisions that have shaped his life and career. From turning down a $1.5 billion opportunity to protect his time with family, to setting ambitious six-month goals that keep him focused, he shares how clarity on his “why” drives everything he does. We explore his approach to time management, his disciplined relationship with money, and why small, consistent investments can yield life-changing results. He also opens up about his passion for biohacking, longevity, and building success on his own terms.
