My guest today is serial entrepreneur, billionaire, and philanthropist John Paul DeJoria, who is best known as a co-founder of the Paul Mitchell line of hair products and The Patrón Spirits Company. Today, he’s one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world, with billions in profits. But he wasn’t always a fabulously wealthy businessman. Once upon a time, he was literally sleeping in his car and selling shampoo bottles door-to-door.
John Paul knows what it takes to build a successful business from the ground-up. He knows what it means to have a billion-dollar mindset, overcome the fear of rejection, and make wise investments that will allow you to grow the kind of business you’ve only dreamed of.
In 2011, John Paul signed the “Giving Pledge” created by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet. Today, the commitment includes more than 200 of the world’s wealthiest individuals who will “give the majority of their wealth to address some of society’s most pressing problems.” John’s using the wealth that he’s earned to give back in a big way.
We had an incredible conversation about how John Paul came from nothing and how he was able to create multiple globally successful businesses by facing rejection head-on. This conversation was so inspiring to me, and I think it will inspire you too. Let’s get started!

Three truths: 1. Remove all resentments/ anger and always Forgive Everyone 2. Give for the greater good 3. Keep a positive mindset and hangout with positive people Wow, what a kind, loving, and inspiring soul💜

[@thevcountdown9824]

To forgive everyone is very very hard, but respect to people who are able to.

"Fear is the unknown." So true. I was afraid to post videos on KZbin before because I didn't know how people would react to my content. After posting videos, I have discovered that I didn't have anything to be afraid of. Now that I know people are kind and more supportive than expected, I am less afraid to post. :) Great interview Lewis!

The second phase of lockdown is more than imminent globally. The best way to beat this COVID-19 is to embark on an aggressive online investment which is the only way to avoid much contact with people thereby preventing you from testing positive. The future they say belongs to those who see possibilities before they are obvious. I never envisaged that a time will come in life that going out will be amounted to almost a crime. 7months ago, I started investing with Elizabeth Cullum Hart who is a professional stock broker and financial consultant; little did I know that I was saving my future and today I have made over $665,000 with just a start up capital of $232,000. Do not wait for any government but take your chances and invest today!

I was in foster care and got to see my mom by on the weekends as well. It's so inspirational to see a successful person that was in the same situation. Between being in foster care and my foster mom nurturing me, I know it made me a better more resilient human being.

John Paul DeJoria is an inspiration. Great interview and wonderful conversation- thank you.

Greatness is Giving without expecting anything

[@roccoforte6889]

That's definitely part of it because juste by the power of your beingness and personality major impact manifests and the environment and its content, people who connect with that same aura or energy just gives you that in return, all starts with action to lead to that though

"Be free, God wants you to be free!" and "don't be afraid to start something!" love that to my core. It is my way of thinking for sure. Currently becoming an entrepreneur myself...

[@michelashu2622]

@@Tes73792 dangerous facts. I prefer healthy gossip where someone maybe had a degree and we are discussing about it as a tool to make me want to put in more effort to obtain mine. I am learning to stop gossiping and this is as a result of hanging around people who spend half their lives on earth gossiping

I wish that every person was given the opportunity to hear this interview. So much Humanity... so much Wisdom... he is someone I would love to meet in person.. he is only the second famous person that I've ever wished for that opportunity. I'm not impressed by actors or singers .. others in the entertainment field or athletes They are just people that do something hopefully well and are being paid for what they do. But this man is something special. I'm entering my seventh decade soon, and of living people that I would wish to meet before the end of my life he is one of two. He is refreshing and wise based on things he's learned in life.

We are seeing the results of the foster kids not having support or anywhere to go after they age out of the system. That's one of the reasons gangs are so appealing, they take them in and tell them we are your family and for some of these kids that's the most concern anyone ever showed them. I was a foster kid from 3 to 18 and know the bitter life of being a foster kid. No one ever give you a hug or kiss or say I love you. I guess that's why every night before we go to bed I still hug and kiss my 25 year old daughter good night and say I love you. This is one of your best interviews I've watched to date. I wish everyone watching this great success.
