John Paul DeJoria- From Homeless to Billionaire

You can't change yesterday's newspaper, so why are you still carrying it around? I have wanted to sit down with this man for so long. Imagine going from living in your car to building two multibillion dollar brands. It doesn't even sound real when you say it out loud. But that's not what I admire most about him. It's how he carries the success: with humility, generosity and kindness. So today I got out of the way and let him teach. I've interviewed some of the top entrepreneurs on the planet, and I don't know that I've ever met a better communicator. This conversation is a masterclass, and I'm fired up for you to hear it. John Paul DeJoria is the co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patrón Spirits Company. He started Paul Mitchell with $700 and lived in his car to make it happen. Then he built Patrón into a brand selling millions of cases a year. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: The Two Rules of Success: two rules to live by if you want to see more success in every area of your life. You Can't Change Yesterday's Newspaper: Why he wouldn't change a single thing about the hard times, and how to move forward after hardship Watch Your Words: Why saying "I'll try" keeps you trying forever, and how to break the pattern. The Richest Man's Regret: What John Paul DeJoria said he would give up just to have been happy, and what that says about money. Kindness Works, Even for Jerks: How humor and kindness disarms, and why you should never knock your competitor. Whatever you're still carrying from yesterday, consider this your permission to put it down. I don't want you to just listen to this one. I want you to feel it, then go live it.
