Marcus Samuelsson joined me on That Moment with Daymond John to reflect back on the pivotal moment on his culinary journey when a French chef told him “you will never own a restaurant.” Fast forward to now, Marcus owns several restaurants worldwide, but the confident chef and restaurateur you hear today in this episode had his back against the wall with no option but to use the negativity to fuel his pursuit of excellence.

The full story of how Marcus turned that comment into an empire is so inspiring and he weaves in emotional stories and lessons around sacrificing love for your career, coming to terms with the realization that you only have so many chances, and navigating New York City that truly any listener can incorporate into their own ambitions. Tune in to transform the way you deal with personal setbacks, negativity, and developing a hustle mindset that cannot be beat!
