Lanny Smith is one of those people who you come across and automatically want to root for, and I’m so proud of all that he’s accomplished with his brand Actively Black and prior company Active Faith.
Despite his impressive career and successes, he remains so humble. When he came onto That Moment with Daymond John, Lanny was transparent about the struggles that came before the success, how he’s hungry for even more with Actively Black, and how the mission behind the brand comes before anything else. It’s always refreshing and inspiring talking to people who truly emphasize giving back to the community in need over generating sales, and I know listeners will walk away with actionable steps for making their own goals come to fruition.
Tune in now to get can’t miss reflections on:
-
The life-changing injuries that halted Lanny’s dreams..and how he channeled that into a successful company
-
Why people want to support his brand - and how you can build your own community
-
How to respond to people who don’t understand the mission behind his brands
-
His experiences working with powerhouses and getting to see his product on people like Barack Obama
-
Noticing injustices and taking action, rather than waiting on others to take that first step
-
And more!

REPLAY: 24 Hours in LA JB Smoove’s Incredible Story of Landing Curb Your Enthusiasm
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.
