  1. Yeah, so this was 2018. And my life was great. Laura and I were running a solid business together. We were financially comfortable except I tell Laura all the time how I felt and how I couldn't stop thinking about my younger self, the guy who was so lost and needed change and needed help. So around this time there were a lot of popular motivational speakers that were going viral on Facebook. People like Prince EA, Jay Shetty, Lewis Howes, lots of others. And these influencers would talk directly to camera. They still do, and inspire their audience with whatever message they're trying to share. I didn't really spend too much time on Facebook, so I didn't see these videos too often, but Laura did, and she'd always watch these videos. And she goes, you could totally do this. Basically telling me to create short inspirational videos

  2. It got to even bigger than that. So within a couple of years, Laura and I had hundreds of different products, and we got to about 100 employees. We moved to an actual fulfillment center, and we got to a point of we were shipping over a million products a year.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  3. And so you were basically, the idea was the influencers would use makeup, but then the idea was, well, why don't we make the makeup? They'll show people how to use it, but then we can also sell this brand.

  4. She was a beauty influencer. She still is, and she was also sort of the ambassador for other makeup brands. Yeah. And when we started our partnership, things started off real scrappy. So I moved from that small apartment in Hollywood to downtown LA. We got a two bedroom apartment. Laura moved in with me. I still kept my roommate that I had. And then we also ran the business from this new apartment. So the living room would be where we filmed all of our classes and create all of our content for the school. The kitchen table would be where all the employees sat and we'd use the common area hall that leads to the elevator. That was where we had our fulfillment team stuffing envelopes for shipping.

  5. Yes, but it's also incredibly difficult, especially if you want to manufacture your own products, which is what I wanted to do, but I had no knowledge about the makeup industry at all. But luckily, Laura did. So I asked her if she wanted to partner with me to create our own lighten of products. And she agreed. This was probably within a week of us meeting each other

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  6. Yeah, absolutely. So at this Was right when cosmetics was starting to boom, like Kylie Cosmetics had started. There were a lot of popular YouTube beauty influencers. There was a lot of focus on the beauty industry, especially on social media.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  7. So not only did the business I have with her continue to grow, but I also start partnering with more makeup influencers to build more schools. And during one of those classes, I ended up meeting one person, particularly that would change my life forever, which is Laura, who's now my wife and the mother of my two children.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  8. But this was the first time that I experienced success and I decided that I would not be flashy, I would not spend money wastefully. I didn't upgrade my lifestyle even 1%, I told myself until I paid back all of my family members that had lost money from the Nick investment. And that's exactly what I did within about a year of starting that online makeup school.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  9. Just because I put her name in the title and she was a popular makeup artist, it was gaining a lot of views and those views led to students signing up to the website So I couldn't believe it. I was literally days away from getting evicted for my little studio apartment with no money left in my bank account. And within 24 hours of our website going live, we brought in six figures of revenue.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  10. Coming in from PayPal, I was so confused. I was thinking, how could anyone find out about the school when we hadn't announced it yet? And I checked the beauty influencer's Instagram thinking she may have posted the announcement early, but she didn't. She didn't mention it one time. There was no link or anything.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  11. So then I get an email from a guy who says he likes the business idea, and within a few days or so, I had a website. And in order to market the classes, I had the beauty influencer I was partnered with record a short video explaining what the school was about. So my web developer tells me that the best way to put the video on the website is to host it on YouTube, and then he'll pull the link to the site, which is exactly what I did. That was the only reason that we posted on YouTube. YouTube was not part of my thinking at all at that time. So I upload the video, I make the website live, and I went to bed that night before the launch. But to my surprise, when I woke up in the morning, my inbox was flooded with emails, new user registration, new reuser registration, new user registration. And there are all these payments for $20 that were

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  12. I figured it out just like I guess I figured out every other business that I ever got into. I would just do a lot of research. I would consult with people. I remember I went to Best Buy and said, hey, I want to start doing live online classes. What do I need? And they said, well, you probably need a webcam and two softbox lights. And luckily they had a starter pack for $200. And I still needed a website. So I go on Craigslist and I put an ad up saying, I will pay someone to build me a website.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  13. Said I would do it, even though I had no makeup experience, no online education experience, no e-commerce experience, and she looked at me and said, okay. So we became 50-50 business partners in an online makeup school.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  14. Yeah. And she was telling me a story of how she was traveling all over the world teaching makeup seminars and they were selling out every city that she would go to. And students were paying hundreds of dollars a seat. And I thought, what an amazing business. And she mentioned, yeah, it's great, but all of that traveling all the time is really hard. So I asked her if she had ever thought about teaching classes online and building an online school. And she said she loved the idea, but she had no idea to go about it. And for some reason, I blurted out, I can build it.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  15. And that's when it dawned on me that I was the common denominator in all of those failures. I was the person responsible, not anyone else me. So that was the first time in my life that I realized I had to take personal responsibility for everything that went wrong, not just for the past, but that's how I would live my life going forward

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  16. And the one main thing that got me through that period of time was reading inspirational stories of how other successful people went through rough patches in their life and somehow overcame them and still went on to be really successful. I spent a lot of time reflecting on everything that had happened to me in my life. I thought about Davis. I thought about after college working in Oakland. I thought about my adventures in Hollywood. And I realized that every time something went wrong, I never took personal accountability for anything that had happened to me. My first failure in real estate, I blamed the economy. My second failure in medical marijuana, I blame the government, my third failure with my investments, I blame Nick every single time it was always someone else's fault, not my own.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  17. Was the lowest point in my life? I went from living in a three-story house to sleeping on a couch, from having hundreds of thousands of followers to deactivating my account because I could know if longer afford to keep up that lifestyle And I was completely broke. I had less than $600 in my bank account.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  18. Yeah, everybody lost their investment. I mean, he was making payments for some short amount of time, right? That's how these things work is.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  19. But when you're in it, it's amazing how many red flags you're willing to look past because you just want something to work so bad. And here I am again. I went from being this high profile Instagram baller to now being completely broke and even worse having caused my family members to lose money because they all invested based on me saying this was a good investment.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  20. And even though it was making a lot of money because I was spending it so fast, I was still living month to month as crazy as that sounds. I wasn't saving at all. So I call Nick and he tells me, don't worry, there was some banking error that he'd have it corrected the next day. But the next day comes around, no money from Nick. A week later, nothing. And now it's taking longer and longer for him to respond to me. Eventually, he just stops answering completely and goes dark. And that's when I found out his entire business was actually a Ponzi scheme, which I know what you're thinking, guy. It sounds so obvious from the start.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  21. Yeah, so around the same time I started having some of my family see my Instagram and they began asking me how I was doing so well. So I told them about my investment. I was doing a Nick and it wasn't long before my cousins, my brother, and even eventually my parents all started investing. And so as my followers grew, I started getting recognized. My life really felt like a movie and the icing on the cake was I met a girl who was on a reality TV show and within a few months of dating we got engaged. But everything went downhill at my engagement photo shoot. One of the staff members pulls me aside and says, Dar, we have a problem. My credit card for the payment of the photo shoot didn't go through. So I opened my bank app and I was shocked. See the last payment Nick made to me bounced.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  22. Many years ago But getting a monthly check for this sounds like one of the greatest investments, you know, I mean, it's amazing. I mean, the returns make, I don't know, like Berkshire Hathaway look like an amateur. And that's because it was a fraud. It wasn't real. Tell me how you found out that this was not real.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  23. Yeah, I still remember the very first picture I posted on my Instagram account as embarrassing as this sounds now. It was me in front of these two exotic cars holding the keys to the new house we were renting. So it didn't take me long to realize that the flashier I was on Instagram, the faster my following would grow. So it quickly became this addiction for me. I've never done any hard drugs in my life, but I would say Instagram was more addictive for me than any drug out there for someone who valued social acceptance as much as I did.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  24. Well, luckily for me, Nick also had the same interest in that superficial lifestyle I was into partying cars, popularity, stuff like that. And he told me he didn't have great credit. But if I agreed to use mine, he'd gladly split the payment for any cars or house I wanted to lease. So the very first house we rented was a three-story mansion in the Hollywood Hills. And at the same time, I got a Ferrari and a Rolls-Royce, one car for each of us, all this coming from the passive income from Nick.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  25. Yeah, but once I discovered that, I decided that I was going to do whatever it took to build a large following on Instagram.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  26. And as far as fame at that time, with the explosion of social media in order to be popular, you had to have followers. And Instagram was skyrocketing.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  27. Correct He seemed like the real deal. And after a few months of getting this return every single month on time in my mind, I was like, this feels very legit. So then my mindset became how can I invest more in him to make even more passive income? So that's when I decided to sell my limousines and cars and whatever was left in my medical marijuana company. I invested every dollar I could and as I invested more, my monthly cash flow kept going up. And Nick and I would be spending a lot more time together. We became pretty close friends. So one random weekend, we decided to take a trip to Los Angeles. And I was blown away by the LA lifestyle. There was nice cars everywhere, good-looking people. So that trip on the spot, we bought... Both decided that we were going to move to LA. I realized in LA you need two things money and fame.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  28. Exactly So he told me in his business in order to make money, you had to spend money But the margins were great. And he said the only thing that was preventing him from scaling up his business was needing more capital so he could grow faster. So naturally I asked him if I could invest. And he says, yes.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  29. Exactly So, the day I met him, we hit it off instantly. He seemed like he was a really open and honest guy. He told me about all his businesses and he even showed me his bank account.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  30. I was looking for any sort of opportunity to once again make money quickly. And around that time, I ended up meeting someone named Nick.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  31. I definitely felt like a failure, and I certainly felt people's judgment of me based on that. And I certainly wish I could go back and tell my younger self how important it is to do things the right way and how much your reputation really matters. The people you associate yourself with, the businesses you get involved in, decisions you make when you're in your 20s you think may not have big consequences for you later in life, but they do.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  32. My life completely changed. People that were doing business with me no longer wanted to work with me. And the city of Oakland even revoked the cultivation license I had won based on the charges alone. And then from that point forward, my life became all about defending myself against those charges. So I was still running my different businesses, but my focus wasn't fully there. So that started going downhill. So I went in front of a judge and the judge said, if I agreed to pleading no contest, paying a $40,000 fine and doing probation, I could have my case completely expunged at the end of probation as long as I didn't mess up again. And there'd be no jail time. So given the circumstances, I decided to agree.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  33. Anywhere from one or two years to come in after all the work was completed and all the money was paid. So I found myself in this financial pinch. I took on too many projects at once that I couldn't afford. So that's when I made a huge mistake that would come back to haunt me. I decided to take some shortcuts on my grant application. I changed the dates on my paperwork to make it seem like the projects had been completed and contractors had been paid sooner than they were in order to start the reimbursement process.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  34. So property management that came easy to me, but construction, that was a lot more complex. And I quickly found out that construction projects take a long time to finish, and they were very expensive. So I could only take on a certain amount of projects at once. But I always wanted to do things quickly. So that's why I was really excited when I found out about this real estate grant program that the city of Oakland had, where you could get a 50% reimbursement if you fixed up properties that were in certain rehabilitation areas. So I decided to take on multiple renovation projects at the same time. And what I didn't expect was how long of a time it would take for the city to issue these grant reimbursements. It turned out the money could take

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  35. Exactly. And my thinking was to try and save the business, the city of Oakland around that time was about to issue medical marijuana cultivation licenses that were going to be the first of its kind. And fortunately, I was one of four companies to be awarded the permit. So I thought this was my golden goose, right? Like I made it big, but that's the point in time where the shortcuts I took during my time in real estate development would come back full circle and it was time for me to pay the price for that. Or as I say in my videos, what happens in the dark always comes alight because that's exactly what happens.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  36. I guess from an early age, I always overleveraged myself. So I relied a lot on credit cards and for suppliers, you could actually get products on terms with them where you wouldn't have to pay them back for $30, $60, 90 days. And I was just relying on product sales that would help me pay off the inventory I bought from them previously. So it was a lot of

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  37. Before the release went out, I changed it to 15,000 square foot indoor gardening store opens by Oakland Airport to help customers grow medical marijuana. I sent it out in the newswire and went to bed to get some sleep before our big grand opening the next day. And I wake up a few hours later to all these phone calls from my store manager saying, Dart, you better get down here quick. There's a bunch of white vans outside. So they were there to cover the grand opening of my store. I couldn't believe it, but the first interview I did, it happened to be on CNN Live. And every other major news outlet you can imagine was there.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  38. Exactly. And at that time, this was in 2010 when all the hydroponics stores still operated in the shadows. So even though they had all these customers that were spending thousands of dollars on indoor grow systems, the stores had to act like these systems were being used to grow tomatoes. So you couldn't mention medical marijuana in hydroponic stores, or you'd get kicked out. And I thought it was because the stores were concerned about the federal law. So I was originally going to follow the same rules and not mention medical marijuana. I had a press release going out the night before of our grand opening saying 15,000 square foot indoor gardening store opens by Oakland Airport to help customers grow tomatoes. But the whole thing just felt a little hypocritical to me.

  39. Where we sold all the supplies, patients would need to grow their own cannabis, not the actual plant or any flower, just the tools to grow it.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  40. What he said, and I thought he was out of his mind for saying that. So I filed an eviction and right before we went in front of a judge, my attorney comes up to me and says, Dar, I looked at all their paperwork, and sure enough, everything checks out. So I look at my attorney and say, you mean it's legal to grow weed? And he nods. And I had no idea that the cannabis industry was this huge industry and the epicenter of it was where I was, Oakwind. So I decided to fully jump into the medical marijuana industry because as I did more research, all I saw was green, pun intended. So I started what later became known as the Home Depot of Weed. And it was a $15,000 square foot hydroponic store right by the Oakland airport.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  41. Yeah, it didn't start that way initially. I had a very negative perception towards the industry. I thought it was illegal. So when I was running the property management company, one day I had a commercial tenant who was running a catering company come in and tell me they had a break-in in their unit. So I asked if he had reported it to the police as I'm picking up the phone to call 911. And he says, wait, before you call, I have to tell you something. I'm not exactly running a catering company. And he said he's using the property to grow medical marijuana.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  42. Was and as time went on, I used my profit from that to also expand into limousines. And I had my, I had a background in transportation because of my family taxi business. So it seemed like a natural thing to do.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  43. So it was around 2007 when the real estate housing crisis started. So, just like lots of other mortgage companies at the time, I ended up going out of business. So this was the first time I had experienced business failure. And you'd think with the degree in econ, I might be saving money more in anticipation of a market crash coming. But I just didn't have that foresight. I closed my doors and I had to move back to Oakland, but I still had the Lamborghini and the payment was really expensive. And I didn't want to give up my car because my car in my head was the key to all this attention I was getting. So instead of giving up the car, I started an exotic car rental company. I learned some basic web design and put up my Lamborghini for rent. So I was able to keep my car and more importantly the appearance that I was a lot more successful than I actually was.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  44. And Davis So, for the first time in my life, I saw what having all this attention felt like. I was driving around in this small town with a super flashy car. And remember, my whole high school career, I felt invisible with no friends. And now I was being seen by everyone. Everyone wanted to be my friend at that point.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  45. So, not too long after all this was happening, I decided to get my own real estate license so I could close my own deals instead of relying on my brother's office. And that's when things really took off. So within that year, I had three different offices and around 25 students working for me. So I remember a big moment for me was at 21 years old when I bought an orange Lamborghini.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  46. Exactly. So, how a call would go is I would say, Hey, I'm Dar calling from California real estate services, and I noticed you're paying 6% on your home loan. How would you like to lower your interest rate while also possibly taking cash out of your home? And for every 99 people that would hang up on us, one would say yes. But what I didn't realize is an application didn't mean a closed deal and it certainly didn't mean a paycheck. But one day I get a phone call from my brother and he says, I have some good news. I got excited and I said, do we close one of my deals? And he said, not just one, but we close three.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  47. So, the next step was I needed a higher telemarketers. And thankfully, I was able to use my marketing company for that. I put up flyers all around campus saying I was looking for commission-based telemarketers. And within a month or so, I had four students working for me.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  48. Yeah, so at this time, this was around 2004, 2005, when real estate was booming. And my brother, he had just become a real estate broker. And he had just bought a condo in San Francisco. He bought a new Mercedes, me being money motivated at that time just saw whatever he was doing with his real estate business as much more successful than whatever I was doing with Davis Marketing Services. But I knew he was in the business of helping people refinance their home to either take equity out or get a lower interest rate. So when I asked him what it was limiting him to take his business to the next level, he said it was not having more leads to close more deals. And so my idea was I could just start my own telemarketing company that could generate leads by cold calling homeowners and trying to get them to refinance.

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  49. Yeah, no, I mean, it's. So, I mean, you were, from what I read, like bringing in a few thousand bucks a month doing this business. And I guess at a certain point you decided not to go into the flyer business full time, but to drop out of school and focus on running a business. And it turned out to be like a mortgage company. How did that happen?

    2024-04-29 · How I Built This with Guy Raz · Dhar Mann Studios: Dhar Mann · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  50. So that's where I come up with the idea of Davis marketing services. Initially, at that time, my idea was just to post flyers around campus on different bulletin boards for businesses. But I didn't have any money to hire anyone to do the postings for me. But one day when I was out posting, I saw a sorority putting up some flyers. And I asked the girls how much they got paid. And they said nothing. Their pledges. So a light bulb went off in my head. I went to the sorority house and I asked if I gave them $50 if they could have their pledges go out and post my flyers for me every morning. So now I have my labor supply figured out.
