The Man Behind The Largest Women’s Shoe Empire - Humans Ep. 3: Steve Madden

Become a Patron! - http://bit.ly/JBNPatreon Steve Madden is the face of the largest women’s shoe business the world has ever seen. In the early 1990’s, he started his business with $1,100 and turned it into a 2 billion dollar per year revenue. As the business grew, his side deals with Jordan Belfort drew the attention of the FBI and in 2002, he pled guilty to federal charges. Since then, his business has grown bigger than ever. Watch as Joe meets with Madden at his Manhattan storefront and sits down in his private clubhouse for an in depth conversation. He takes us back to his childhood, growing up with Attention deficit disorder, family issues, struggles with drugs and alcohol, relationship with the Wolf of Wall Street, and his time in federal prison. This is the third installment of Humans, a new talk series where Joe interviews some of the most unique people in the world to shed light on their one in a million experiences. Humans aims to show viewers people with unbelievable stories that only they could live through.
