One of my favorite things about being the host of  The School of Greatness is that I get to learn from the best minds in the world about stuff I am fascinated by.

Yes, it's as awesome as it sounds.

There are few things I geek out about as much as smart ways to make money and build successful businesses.

So when I got the chance to sit down with Daymond John, of Shark Tank fame, I was stoked.

If you don't know him already, Daymond is the real deal.

He started his first business when he was 6 years old, selling pencils at his school, and hasn't let up since.

Overcoming any and all odds most entrepreneurs face, Daymond has built massively successful brands, including his fashion line FUBU.

He recently got appointed to a national entrepreneurial position which took him to the White House, and he is a current entrepreneurial advisor on the hit show Shark Tank.

He also just came out with a new book, The Power of Broke, in which he tells the truth about the importance of earning your way to the top.

That's right, hustle is the way to the top (my favorite).

Daymond and I talk about all parts of entrepreneurship, the ins and outs of building a successful startup, and the lessons he's learned in his own journey.

No matter where you're at in your business, Episode 279 with Daymond John is a must-hear for you.
