Don't remind me again today

What did Daymond John say was the worst advice he ever received? **Looking down on others**.



This guy started FUBU with $40, and now he has a net worth of $350 million. But he candidly said that the worst advice isn’t about money, but about attitude — rich people easily discard useless people. "This is particularly disgusting," he said, "It doesn’t matter how much money you have; what matters is how you treat talent."

What hurts more is his own lesson: **financially illiterate almost went bankrupt 3 times**. "Many of us Black entrepreneurs do not have family wealth to inherit," John admitted, "I was information-poor when I was young and almost ruined myself."

His current observation: **65% of athletes and lottery jackpot winners go bankrupt within 3 years**. But the problem isn't with them — "No one teaches them the basics of finance. How can you understand what you don't know?"

So he is now busy promoting the "Little Daymond Learns to Earn" project, aiming to transform financial education in schools. The ambition is quite large - to get schools in Atlanta and San Diego to follow suit.

**Core Point**: Success is not just about making money; you must learn to **manage money** and **treat people well**.
