Daymond John will be the 2022 Homecoming Distinguished Lecturer at Colorado School of Mines.
John, chief executive officer of clothing brand FUBU and one of the investors on the hit ABC reality series “Shark Tank,” will give a talk on Thursday, Oct. 6 entitled “Daymond John’s 5 Shark Points: Fundamentals for Success in Business and Life.”
Now part of the core group of expert investors – or “sharks” – on “Shark Tank,” John created FUBU at a young age and took it from a $40 budget to a $6 billion fashion industry leader. In 2013, he was appointed by President Barack Obama as an Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, promoting the power and importance of entrepreneurship to young entrepreneurs, creators, innovators and investors around the world. He is the best-selling author of five books on business management and leadership.
