Why is your head in your hand, Damon? Because AI is going to turn this country into a civil war.

The guest today, who is Damon John. He is the founder of Fubu, which has done $6 billion in sales.

He also is one of the most beloved members of Shark Tank, from somebody who had nothing to somebody who became one of the most successful CEOs of our time.

There's nothing new in this world. It's a new way to present it. The top companies in

Shark Tank history, socks and a sponge. So would you rather be hungry or rich as a young

person? Hungry. It's all about understanding that you actually can do it. Stop taking all, getting all those things in your head. You need money, make money. I have to have an education. No, you don't. No, you're why. If you're waking up every day because you're solving a problem for a person, you're bringing them joy and you love it. And you can do that.

Welcome back to the Big Deal podcast. I'm Cody Sanchez. The studio looks a little different today,

and that's because I am in San Antonio about to go on a stage in front of thousands of people.

But right after the guest today, who is Damon John, he shares all the lessons learned from

investing, from building big businesses, and from

hustling, from somebody who had nothing to somebody who became one of the most successful

CEOs of our time in a category nobody had ever done it quite like him before. I can't wait

for you guys to hear this episode. He's a riot and I took a lot of notes.

Your career is incredible.

You've been on Shark Tank, obviously, you've started a bunch of companies, you've invested in even more, you're on the internet, you've got millions of followers, you speak all over the place, you get standing ovations.

But I actually don't think very many people know that you invested in the most successful company

that Shark Tank has seen thus far, bomb us, right?

Well, I tell everybody whenever I can that I'm the lead shark with the most successful

investment in history, Shark Tank history, on all the shark tanks that exist around the world.

Who would have thought it was a sock company, too?

I had to actually Google the valuation.

Isn't that a boring company what you think about it?
