Love when I learn the background…

Love when I learn the background of a public figure. Super happy Daymond John actually read his own book! Love his humor and stories. Some are just wild! I never knew the real/ deeper meaning of FUBU until now. Still a cool brand and legacy! Thank you.

Informative, Inspirational, and Entertaining

I thought this was a very interesting read but some of the stores were a little hard to follow. Really cool book with a ton of stories.

Interesting

I really didn’t want to take the time to listen to this. But I found it fascinating to hear what it took to get FUBU off the ground. The sacrifice, hard work and just plain good luck. Best in the future!

Great story, nicely read by the man himself.

I'm a big fan of books that tell the stories of how companies were created and enjoyed listening to Daymond retell the story of the founding of FUBU which grew from nothing to a multi million dollar clothing line. I enjoyed having him narrate it as he was there and it made it much more personal and impactful. I've enjoyed watching him on Shark Tank and consider him one of the greatest african-american businessmen of all time.

Great short Audiobook

Great production, learned a lot about the history of FUBU. I already know what the brand means to the culture. Very informative. Loved how they intertwined music and guest segments.

You are missing out if you don't hear this!

Daymond's story is not only inspiring, but it is also full of knowledge. Daymond has wisdom and he is a person who cares. I follow Daymond and know a lot about him, but there are things I learn about his story that I didn't know before. Like I didn't know it was originally called by us for us at first. His story is truly inspirational. I 100% recommend any entrepreneur, anyone thinking about starting a business, or anyone wanting to hear a story that can make a positive impact on their life to listen to this.
