DBs Staff & BruceBruce reviews this joint

It was the best audio book I have heard yet! It was like listening to my homeboy and one of my friends from back in the day. It was just a good f***in story. Also, I knew I like Daymond from Shark Tank but didn't really know and now I know I like him because he is like me and has the same background and outlook on life. Good job and hustle in life, it's inspirational for a guy like me.

Amazing Story That Will Leave A Legacy

I have been following Daymond for over a decade and still find this audiobook refreshing as this is his own personal story of FUBU. He has intertwined quite a few personalities in the story and many of the people are all still with him and supporting him This tells you that he is not a transactional person. Fame and wealth have not changed him. I did not know he knows how to fix bikes also did not know there is a FUBU foundation. This is a story that I will keep coming back to it as I never get tired of listening to him. ps- I am not so sure he should reveal the last 4 digits of his social security number though. lol.

Very inspirational story for entrepreneurs like myself. It's encouraging especially to be a new digital content and coaching business as it reminds me to always keep moving because it only takes one yes to make all of your dreams come true.

Finished in 1 day!!

I needed this! The background of the founding of FUBU motivated me to keep pushing forward in my entrepreneurial aspirations. I proudly wore FUBU as a teen. I’m happy to be part of the history.

FUBU means a lot to the black community. Representation is everything. Will always have the utmost respect for the vision it took to persevere.

I love the backstory and the personal narration

This book was awesome. I love how the book was narrated and the overall story. I had so idea there was so much to FUBU. Extremely impressed with the book and the man behind the book.
