According to a press release from WSU, entrepreneur and  “shark” on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” Daymond John is set to appear at the school next week on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at the Val A. Browning Center’s Austad Auditorium from 10-11:15 a.m.

“John will share his ‘5 SHARK Points for Success’ — lessons drawn from his journey building the apparel brand FUBU and becoming one of the most recognizable investors in business,” the release said. “Other iconic investments in his portfolio include companies like Bombas, Sun Staches, and several businesses founded by Utahns.

“His presentation serves as the keynote address for the Goddard School’s Vernon M. and MaRee Buehler Lecture Series, established to give the northern Utah community direct access to prominent leaders and innovators.”

Eliza Fry, marketing manager for the Office of the Dean of the Goddard School of Business and Economics, told the Standard-Examiner in an email Tuesday that the appearance is open to all.

“Although the event is hosted by the Goddard School, it’s not just for business students,” she said. “We welcome community members, aspiring entrepreneurs, established business owners and anyone interested in learning about setting goals and achieving success. We hope people throughout Northern Utah will take advantage of this opportunity.”

She added that John brings a unique perspective to campus.

“We’re excited to bring someone of Daymond John’s caliber to Northern Utah,” she said. “His story demonstrates what can happen when creativity, determination and goal-setting come together. This is a great opportunity for our students, local entrepreneurs and the broader business community to learn from someone who has built a recognizable brand and helped other businesses grow.”

While the appearance is free, attendees are asked to RSVP at weber.edu/business/daymond_john.html.
