I listened to the interview and I must say that it really helped me refocus and not worry. I’m going through that “should I keep workin’ the 9-5 thing or concentrate on my project more” faze. I heard Damon talk about his struggles before everything came together and I could totally relate. And even though I read his book and other entrepreneur’s books in the past, I still needed to hear that earlier. I put in a lot of work and feel like, “I’M READY TO GET TO SEE THE FRUITS OF MY LABOR.” I’m glad that I’ve discovered your site and had a chance to hear the interview, because I’ve been reminded again that it’s all part of the process.

Thanks!

Thank you Sarah for the great interview with Daymond John. I loved his insight and candid conversation with you about his own experiences. He offers a lot of really practical advice and I couldn’t agree more with him about branding and the importance of selling yourself and not just your product. I look forward to reading more about how to accomplish this in his upcoming book!

Hello Sarah – excellent interview with Daymond. What a nice guy too. Very down to earth.

What I liked most was his candor at admitting its not always pretty in business, especially with partners; when to walk away; when to come back and the strength of belief in a product or brand.

I hope you get a follow up interview after, I am sure, the success of his new book coming out. I will be getting it myself.

I first heard of Daymond John because of the show Shark Tank. When I watched the show my first thought was he is very cocky and has a blank look on his face. haha. Little did I know listening to him through interviews like this one and on TV he is a completely different and down to earth person than my first impression. I like the fact that he can admit his failures and he learned from them. His stories are inspiring and motivational. And he likes to teach and help fellow entrepreneurs. Great interview! Love Daymond!!

Ros says:

One of my favorite interviews ever!! I love how Daymond John with all his mega success is one of the most humble entrepreneurs around. His talk about having a sense of paranoia really resonated with me in a profound way. I feel that it’s a level of thinking that helps me keep things in check.

Wonderful interview. I hope you have him back!

Denice Davis says:

I received much value from the interview with Daymond. Overall, I think the most insight received was that the word “partner” can be a huge benefit – something I have shyed away from until today.

Michelle says:

Fantastic interview. Thanks for bringing Daymond John’s insight and experience to us.

Mary Pitman says:

The Shark Tank info was especially useful about how you present yourself as soon as you walk up and setting realistic valuations of your company.
