It's Monday so it's time for another #MotivationMoment! The time is now, entrepreneurs. Stop waiting for the perfect moment - the stars will never fully align. You have an idea burning inside, a passion that wakes you up at night. It's time to stoke that fire and channel your energy into momentum. Maybe you're afraid of the risks, the inevitable roadblocks and naysayers. But think of the regret you'll feel if you never try. The 15th season of Shark Tank reminds us that business success takes courage. It's a leap of faith that great ideas and tireless hustle will win out. Imagine looking back years from now, wishing you had trusted yourself and taken that leap. The greatest rewards await those willing to bet on their vision when others won't. Every entrepreneur has heard "no" countless times before their big breakthrough. Prove the doubters wrong through uncompromising effort and belief. Your idea has lived in your head long enough - time to show the world. Turn your plans into action, your vision into reality. There will be challenges, but staying true to your purpose will pull you through. Pay no mind to the clock or calendar - there are no constraints except those you impose on yourself. Let the entrepreneurs on Shark Tank, now in its 15th season, inspire you. But understand you don't need investment or approval from others. With passion and grit, you hold the power to make it happen. The only permission you need is from yourself. So wake up each day ready to outwork yesterday. Fuel yourself with optimism, not doubt. The only difference between you and those at the top is that they refused to quit. Your ascent begins the moment you decide to take the first step. The world awaits your efforts, dreamer - start climbing!

It's Monday so it's time for another #MotivationMoment! Feeling included and respected at work is key for innovation and engagement. According to a Deloitte survey, 83% of millennials are more engaged when their company fosters an inclusive culture. While you may not be a millennial, we all crave that sense of belonging. Think about the bosses and coworkers you've loved working with most. Chances are, they made you feel heard, valued your input, and welcomed you to brainstorm together. But the coworkers who shut you down and cut you out? Not so motivating. So be the inclusive leader and colleague you wish you had. Make it a point to listen, take ideas seriously, and invite participation. You'll be amazed at how it unlocks creativity and goodwill. People support and innovate for leaders who respect them. Your team will go the extra mile if you go out of your way to make them feel included. So foster that open, collaborative spirit. Get ready to see engagement soar.

When Fat Joe joined me on That Moment with Daymond John, he chose to be as vulnerable as anyone can be and share the experiences of losing his sister, best friend, and grandfather all within a short window, and how that grief ultimately shaped his life. Mixed in with stories about his mother and the way she raised him to be above all a supporter of his community, this was an incredible discussion that so many can relate to. The story of how, after 2 years, a chance encounter with strangers was what it took to snap Fat Joe out of his state of grieving is the type that really embodies being at the right place, at the right time, and it’s only because of his loss that he was even at this place to begin with! I won’t spoil it here, but Fat Joe was able to turn criticism into the fuel he needed to drive him back on top. One of the crazier moments he reflected on was when all of NYC shoe stores were looted except two of them - and he owned both. As you’ll hear in the episode, it’s really a testament to how much the community valued the respect that he continued to show them even after he made it big. You’ll also appreciate learning how Fat Joe developed a healthy sense of paranoia and how this translates into his relationships - I definitely walked away with a new perspective on how to balance optimism and vulnerability with protecting yourself and your brand.

My guy Jon Taffer took the time to sit with me and share some amazing behind-the-scenes insights into what makes the best restaurants or bar experiences (trust me, you’ll be thinking through his strategies anytime you step into an establishment now) and how he established himself in the hospitality industry. The moment he honed in on was one that too many of us can relate to - being told we’ll never be able to do what we say we want to accomplish. But the way he responded both in his words and his actions is so powerful and something everyone needs to take into account next time they hit a wall. Jon also got candid about how prominent dishonesty is in his line of work and how he handles stealing and disingenuous employees. It’s not all negative in hospitality, though - Jon actually has the only patent related to music in restaurants, and the science behind how he curates every single restaurant and bar experience for his patrons is such an interesting reveal into how strategic the things we often overlook in a restaurant actually are. Tune in to an all new episode of That Moment with Daymond John wherever you listen to your podcasts to learn the mindset you need to adopt when someone rejects your dreams, the ways to deal with dishonesty, and becoming an established leader in your field.

Business expert and reality star Bethenny Frankel joined me on That Moment with Daymond John to give her candid and raw reflection on some of the most significant moments of her career, from her decision to leave the Housewives franchise to her no-job-too-small approach to relief efforts in times of crisis. You’ll be so impressed with how she carved out monetization opportunities for herself that had previously been impossible for other Housewives and the way that she rationalized leaving the show (trust me, it’s a lesson we can all learn from regardless of what our lines of work are). We also got into the rocky story of how we first met and how that almost lost her a slot on Shark Tank as a guest Shark. One of the most impressive elements of Bethenny is her commitment to providing relief in times of major crisis across the globe, and she shared some eye-opening insights into how relief efforts actually come together and what goes on behind the scenes.

The hysterical JB Smoove joined That Moment with Daymond John to share the incredible story of how a combination of non-stop hustle and the loss of a friend resulted in him landing the iconic role of Leon Black in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. To put that moment in perspective, he also dove into the journey of becoming a comedian and how he made the decision to take the plunge and go all in. Mixed in with anecdotes about his experiences performing at different venues and how he treats each show as a learning opportunity, he also got into his short-lived Saturday Night Live writer career that landed him new opportunities and what it was actually like auditioning for Curb with legendary Larry David (who he met for the first time when he walked into the audition room). In typical JB form, he had me cracking up even while giving some of the most insightful comments and strategies that I’ve ever heard, from his methods for overcoming failure to his commitment to remaining authentic to the importance of wanting everybody - not just you - to win. This episode of That Moment with Daymond John is such a fun discussion with note-taking-worthy lessons and takeaways for any listener. As JB explains (and you’ll have to tune in to hear how you can actually do this), you have to be the one driving your car and controlling how other people respect you, and I’m grateful he took the time to share his powerful journey with myself and all of the listeners.

Ice T joined me on That Moment with Daymond John and gave me his raw and candid thoughts on some of the most transformative moments that he faced throughout his career, focusing most intently on the moment his album was blocked by Time Warner (spoiler: even though that’s the public narrative around how it went down…it’s not accurate, and Ice gave me the full inside scoop on how the situation with his album Home Invasion actually happened) and what finally prompted him to become a devoted and fully committed father and husband. The stories Ice shared provide more than just a glimpse into how you can evolve as a person while also staying true to yourself, and listeners will walk away with so much inspiration that they can put to work in their own lives. As Ice explains in our talk, no one else wakes up with your dream, and it’s so important to lock that thought into the way you approach your passions.
