Unveiling Sharkgevity Secrets with Daymond John

0.031 - 27.405 Mick Hunt

I don't think I've been ever asked, because, what's your because?

27.79 - 53.68 Daymond John

So I guess my why, like you said, would be family, but what? That's a good question. So I guess the because forces you to say, well, I'm doing this because. Right. Right. Ease into things that in my common law perspective, right? But in fasting, you know, I usually take me about a year, six months to a year to ease into things. So fasting.

55.094 - 65.395 Mick Hunt

We'll get to this beautiful piece behind this. There was a conversation you posted on Instagram, I think, when you ate like a year-old turkey leg or something from the freezer. Two.

98.229 - 120.951 Mick Hunt

That thing that drives you. That thing that fuels you. I'm ready if you are. Let's go. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to what I'm going to say is the most personal, the most guided episode of Mick Unplugged in the history of Mick Unplugged. In the history. In the history of Mick Unplugged. Growing up, most people wanted to be like Mike. I wanted to be like today's guest.

121.432 - 141.041 Mick Hunt

The way he moved, the way he built, the way he made us realize that it's not how you start. It's how you finish. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the man, the myth, the legend, my mentor, the blueprint. That's uncomfortable. The people shark, Mr. Damon John. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. It's not uncomfortable. It's still a series on an intro, man.

141.341 - 155.86 Mick Hunt

Because that's what you mean to me. I appreciate it. We don't start lying. We don't have time for lies. But truly, when I was 16, Was when I was 17, 47.

170.182 - 189.241 Mick Hunt

You're not an athlete. You're not an entertainer. And I realized at that moment that I could build businesses. At 16, I wanted to be an attorney, and I thought that's what I was going to be in life, was an attorney, right? But when I saw you, I realized, OK, it's about owning and building business. It's about creating wealth.

189.502 - 205.207 Mick Hunt

And then I got to meet you many years later and see all the great things that you're doing. And so my first question I asked all my guests, this is what's your because that thing that's deeper than your why? Like, I'm sure your why is your family, your employees. But there's a reason there, your why.

205.347 - 228.235 Daymond John

I don't think I've been ever asked because what's your because? So I guess my why, like you said, will be family, but what... That's a good question. So I guess the because forces you to say, well, I'm doing this because. Right. Right. I've never heard that before. I appreciate that. You answer all your guests that? Absolutely. My because is because I should.

262.23 - 280.12 Daymond John

Because the more things you own, they own you. Not because I want boats. I could buy a boat. I don't want a boat. It's irritating. I don't want seven homes like an Airbnb. I don't want a staff of 200, 500, a thousand because somebody is going to be treated unfairly because of their gender, their color, their creed, their lack of education. Right.

280.14 - 298.932 Daymond John

Because somebody else is going to want to take their credit and they're going to push them down. And these people sometimes are not going to be able to feel like they are a reward of what they've done personally or they didn't get there because they didn't do this. They're going to say it's the system. So, I mean, I think those are the things that those becauses are really powerful things.

299.152 - 304.018 Daymond John

You know, I don't think I've ever been asked that before. Thank you.

342.547 - 363.15 Daymond John

Well, you know, what I have overcome, I want to make sure that I manage people's expectation. What I have overcome is nothing in comparison to those who may be living in the Middle East right now. Those who may be living here who grew up with abusive parents or not enough food on the table. So what I've overcome is child's play comparison.

363.805 - 387.118 Daymond John

I will come, you know, dodging the literal bullets and the figurative bullets in the community of not having the Internet and these things and only trying to only seeing things like drug dealers around me and say, well, that's. That's success. Because the people in Queens. They got on the train in the morning. They went to the city to work. You didn't see them.

387.338 - 408.189 Daymond John

There wasn't no social media showing them. They looked like just people in suits. Yeah. But they were doctors and lawyers. They were feeding their family. They went to the Ideal Toy Factory where it used to be around our house. They were blue collar workers. You didn't see them. All right. So I dodged that concept of a fast life, easy money. I dodged the concept.

444.44 - 462.732 Daymond John

Wealthy people walk in a room and say, well, you think I got it easy. But, you know, I think all the trials and tribulations like most of us have done, you know, finding that healthy balance, knowing your why and being very honest with you about your why. I dig it.

462.853 - 481.466 Mick Hunt

Cancer. There we go. You have on the Shark Jevity shirt. One of the things that you've got me doing is fasting. Look like you lost a couple of pounds. More than a couple. I have been. And I was surprised at how Easy it is. But you told me, Mick, you're going to fail.

481.746 - 502.429 Daymond John

I'm surprised at how fast you, no joking. You're supposed to go intermittent fasting, intermittent fasting, intermittent fasting. We were sitting one night. You were like, all right, I'm done eating. How long did you, that one night you stopped eating for how long? 40 hours because that's what you told me to do. I didn't tell you to do 40 hours. I said we're doing 40 hours. Same thing.

524.267 - 548.731 Daymond John

I'll get to him one day, maybe today. He's a very special guy. He built a little bit different, a little... which is great. But he just went, yeah. Basically, what do you say? You can only do two things. Two things at a time. So every time I talk to him, if he's like, yeah, I'm passing, he'd be like, thank you. He'd have to walk off and he'd come back. He'd come back. fasted already.

549.191 - 552.455 Daymond John

He just he just off. But that's that's a great quality you have.

553.096 - 574.358 Mick Hunt

Again, I focus on two things at a time. You said fast. So I did. And then you said, oh, by the way, here's some supplements you can take that'll help you do it. And then you gave me some blueprint, like just drink black coffee. I don't drink coffee, but I do. But but now I do drink. It helps you do it. All the little things. So that version of you.

595.297 - 618.787 Daymond John

We'll get to this beautiful piece behind this. It took me about two years because it's a bigger concept art. Shark Jevity. That took me many years. I'm the kind of person that, you know, it's almost like when I go shopping or not shopping. When I'm out and I see something I like, I don't buy it. I go home. If I can't stop thinking about it, maybe I'll buy it. Okay. And it has to go.

618.807 - 644.395 Daymond John

I have to stop. I can't stop thinking about it for a while. You seem to be able to just turn it on. Now, once that point gets that I'm turned, it turns on, I'm on. But I'm on only because I tried to rip that thing apart or think about it a hundred different. Do I still like this? Do I really like this? What am I doing? And once I'm on. Mm-hmm. That's it. No failure. Straight.

646.238 - 658.038 Mick Hunt

Appreciate that. And I think for me, it's because of what you meant to me in my life that when you tell me something, I just... Yeah, I appreciate that. But you're going to end up like in Guyana with Jim Jones.
