It's rare to hear selfishness portrayed in the media positively, especially from well-known entrepreneurs. In an interview on CNBC, Shark Tank entrepreneur and founder of FUBU Daymond John says that the way high-profile people "maximize" their days is that, "They're selfish." John says: "We've given up our power to everybody. We wake up in the morning, answer a million emails with everybody's problems, look on social media; everybody's doing better than us. Get and talk to the kids for a second, 'I'll talk to you later,' and you never see your kids because you didn't schedule them on a list to be with your family, you scheduled to be in meetings." I admire John for saying this, as it goes against the grain to urge people to be selfish. We break down what he says and I add my take on it.
