“I Was Diagnosed With Brain Cancer”: Shaquille O’Neal, Who Owns Over 200 Companies, Hears a $1 Million Question From Struggling Businessman

The dominance of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is something everyone is aware of. People remember the towering mountain that Shaq was on the floor during his playing days. But his dominance is not limited to the basketball court as O’Neal has made a business empire for himself since his retirement. The owner of about 200 companies, Shaq recently sat down with a similar entrepreneur like himself. 

O’Neal recently met with Gary Vaynerchuk who is a serial entrepreneur himself. Gary is the founder and CEO of VeeFriends, the chairman of VaynerX, and is also the CEO of VaynerMedia.

Gary and Shaq took questions from the crowd when O’Neal came across a million-dollar question from a struggling businessman. A gentleman got up from the crowd named Brian. A resident of New York, Brian had a question for Shaq regarding his own business struggles. 

He then went on to narrate his situation. “I started a meal-prep company in 2015. Did unbelievably well and in January 2020, I was diagnosed with brain cancer. In March, the world shut down with COVID. So business was going very well and a lot of the locations I dropped off at because we delivered to houses and gyms, they shut down permanently.”

Brian then further explained his situation about having his hands in so many pots that he felt as if he overloaded his plate. And he had no idea what to do or how to proceed further. He also mentioned how he was looking for half a million worth of capital but even if he got it, he had no idea where to allocate those funds properly. 

O’Neal drops some wisdom

The Big Aristotle kept his answer short and simple, saying, “Get Help.” Shaq then mentioned how Eisenhower had once said that the greatest leaders are the ones that hire people who are smarter. Shaq said, “Gotta get help. You can’t be everywhere at once so get help.”

That was O’Neal’s advice to the New York native entrepreneur. After his retirement, he made some smart choices. Followed leading business moguls in the industry, and hired the right set of people to help him reach where he is now. And now O’Neal has a massive empire with a net worth of $400 million.
