These days, Daymond John might be best known as one of the five savvy business executives (known as the “sharks”) who quickly mull over whether to invest their own money in the business ideas that budding entrepreneurs anxiously illustrate on the ABC hit television show Shark Tank. But it was his entrepreneurial instincts and expertise that launched his influential clothing line FUBU and built his stellar reputation, with awards such as Ernst & Young’s New York Entrepreneur of the Year and Crain’s Business of New York Under Forty Award.

This success may not have been possible if John had let his difficulty with dyslexia define him. Instead, he used his strengths to get ahead. John has known since he was a young boy in Hollis, Queens, New York, exactly where his mastery lies: the intersection of creative and analytical thinking.
