Daymond John recently sat down for a full-length in-studio interview on The Rich Eisen Show, opening up like never before about the real stories behind Shark Tank, business off camera, and his lifelong love of sports.
In the conversation, Daymond pulls back the curtain on what audiences don’t see - what happens before the cameras roll, how deals are made after the show, and the moments that stick with him long after the pitch ends.
He also shared a surprising story: how he came this close to becoming a part-owner of Inter Miami CF, David Beckham’s MLS franchise.
And of course, there were laughs—especially when recounting a moment involving fellow Shark Mark Cuban and a declined credit card during a high-stakes dinner.
The interview aired live on The Rich Eisen Show, an Emmy-nominated program blending sports, pop culture, and business, and is now streaming in full:
“People know Shark Tank as a show, but behind the scenes, it’s a real business, and a real grind,” said Daymond. “What you don’t see are the years we spend mentoring these entrepreneurs after the pitch ends.”
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a sports fan, or just someone looking for a deeper look at Daymond’s journey, this conversation delivers both heart and hustle.
