Daymond John’s earrings sparkled when he sauntered on stage at the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga’s first annual Entrepreneur Power Luncheon on Tuesday.
Many of the 550 people in the audience lifted glowing cellphones to snap photos of John, the star of ABC’s “Shark Tank” and the founder of FUBU, a fashion brand that has more than $6 billion in product sales.
He peppered his hourlong presentation with song snippets, childhood photos, shouts and laughter.
“I’m here today for two reasons,” he joked. “Number one is to pack my suitcase with Little Debbies and Jack Daniel’s and go home with that.”
