Color Me Candid: Real Talk with the Johns

41m · That Moment with Daymond John · 05 Mar 11:00

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my incredible wife Heather for an intimate conversation about our journey together. We've been through a lot over the past 18 years, and we're finally ready to share our story with you.

From the early days of our relationship when many doubted we would last, to the joys and challenges of raising our beautiful daughter Minka, we hold nothing back. We discuss the realities of being an interracial couple in today's society and the unique obstacles we've faced along the way.

Heather opens up about her experiences as a white woman navigating a relationship with a black man, and the assumptions and judgments that come with it. We also delve into the complexities of raising a biracial child and the important conversations we're having as a family.

Through it all, we've learned invaluable lessons about love, patience, and the power of open communication. We hope that by sharing our truth, we can inspire others to live authentically and fight for the relationships that matter most.

Join us for this candid exploration of race, family, and the unbreakable bond of love. It's a conversation that will make you think, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear. Most importantly, it's a reminder that our differences can be our greatest strengths.

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.

Billy Gene Unplugged- AI, Entrepreneurship, and the Future of Work Part 2

In part two of my conversation with Billy Gene, we continue to unpack the mind-boggling implications of AI and how it could reshape our world in ways that are both exhilarating and terrifying. From apps that can mimic your favorite writers and musicians with uncanny accuracy to the possibility of preserving the essence of our loved ones long after they're gone, the scenarios we explore are nothing short of jaw-dropping.

Billy Gene shares some incredible tools that could change the game for anyone looking to boost their creativity, streamline their work, or even whip up a gourmet meal using only the contents of their fridge. But the real showstopper is when we contemplate a future where the boundaries between the digital and physical realms become increasingly blurred.

It's not all existential dread, though – we also touch on the potential upsides of this AI-powered future, like a world where everyone's basic needs are taken care of, freeing us to pursue our true passions and forge deeper human connections.

So if you're ready to have your mind blown and your assumptions challenged, join me and Billy Gene for the second half of this thought-provoking discussion. I guarantee you'll come away with a whole new perspective on the future that awaits us – and maybe even a few tips and tricks to help you navigate this brave new world.

Motivation Moment - Connecting the Dots - Why Face-to-Face Beats Interface

Picture this: a world where technology keeps us connected 24/7, but somehow leaves us feeling more disconnected than ever. I've been hitting the event circuit hard lately, from star-studded Super Bowl parties to industry conferences, and I've come to a powerful realization about the irreplaceable value of human connection.

In this motivational moment, I'm going to share some eye-opening insights about why getting out there and interacting with people face-to-face is the secret sauce to building meaningful relationships and unlocking new opportunities. We'll explore the limitations of virtual communication and the magic that happens when you step out of your comfort zone and into a room full of potential collaborators and game-changers.

So if you're ready to level up your networking game and tap into the power of in-person connections, get ready to take some notes. I've got some stories and wisdom to drop that just might change the way you approach your career and your life.
