Keynote: The Hustle to Scale: Building a Global Brand Before the Industry Had a Playbook

Before on-demand. Before digital supply chains. Before agility became a boardroom mandate, most brands relied on heavy bets and long production cycles. That model left little room for outsiders. 

With no capital and no factory, Daymond John built FUBU by operating differently. He produced close to demand, tested in real time, listened to culture over forecasts, and scaled only what proved itself. He did not outspend incumbents. He out-moved them.  

Today, as founder, investor, and one of the most recognized voices on Shark Tank, Daymond has seen the same pattern repeat: the brands that win are built to move, adapt, and recover faster than the market shifts. 

What You’ll Gain:
A practical lens on how agility becomes a growth engine — and how to build a business designed to test faster, scale smarter, and win in markets where certainty no longer exists.
