Keynote Speaking Reel

Keynote Topics

Negotiation, influence, and achieving outcomes are the true currencies of success in business and in life. Daymond John shares the practical framework from his bestselling book PowerShift-how to reframe your thinking, identify overlooked leverage, and shift power dynamics in your favor in any situation. Drawing on his journey from $40 and a homemade hat to the Shark Tank, he delivers an actionable blueprint for turning circumstances to your advantage.

Starting with $40 and a homemade hat sewn in his mother’s house in Queens, Daymond John built FUBU into a $6 billion global fashion brand. He shares the raw entrepreneurial lessons from that journey-including the failures, the creative pivots, and the unshakeable belief in his vision that carried him from the streets of Hollis to the boardrooms of international fashion and, eventually, the set of Shark Tank.

Having nothing can be your greatest competitive advantage. Daymond John argues that financial constraints force the creativity, urgency, and resourcefulness that well-funded startups often lack-and shares how the “broke mindset” drives the most innovative thinking in business. Drawing on his own story and those of the entrepreneurs he has backed on Shark Tank, he makes a compelling case for why limitations are often the birthplace of breakthrough.

"You were our top rated speaker from all the events I have planned since 2006. Great job."

The acronym stands for Set a goal, Homework (do yours), Adore what you do, Remember you are the brand, and Keep swimming. Daymond builds keynotes around these principles using stories from FUBU's early days sewing hats in his mother's Queens basement, his Shark Tank investments in companies like Bombas and Bubba's Q, and his work with global brands. The framework gives audiences a structured, memorable playbook rather than a collection of motivational quotes.

Little did I know that amazing woman would come back later in life to inspire me with her version of the event. Thank you for your diligent efforts to bring Janet’s story to us.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference. Honestly, Mr. Johnson and Mel Robbins complemented each other better than I could have ever dreamt. The two of them made our conference.
