Barbara Corcoran
Barbara Corcoran turned a $1,000 loan into a $66 million real estate empire, sold it, then went on national television to bet on strangers with big dreams. The founder of The Corcoran Group and an original Shark on ABC's Shark Tank, she has made 130+ deals and invested ~$62 million in startups - including The Comfy, which grew to a ~$468 million valuation. Dyslexic, a D-student, one of ten kids in a two-bedroom house, she credits every single setback as the fuel that got her here.
Daymond John
Daymond John is the founder of FUBU, the streetwear brand he built from a $40 budget in his mother's Queens house into a $6 billion global empire. Known as 'The People's Shark,' he's been a main cast investor on ABC's Shark Tank since its debut in 2009, championing underdogs and minority entrepreneurs. A five-time bestselling author, cancer survivor, Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, and creator of Black Entrepreneurs Day, John proves repeatedly that being broke is not a limitation - it's a competitive advantage.
