John Paul DeJoria- From Homeless to Billionaire

This is the Edmiland Show. Welcome back to the show. So I've wanted to talk to this man for so long because obviously his story is crazy. Imagine going from living in your car and being homeless to becoming a billionaire. It doesn't even sound real when you say it out loud, but it's actually his story.

And um he's founded a couple different brands, whether it's John Paul Mitchell Systems or Padron Tequila. You're talking about two multi-billion dollar brands and companies that he's co-founded or founded. And it's an incredible story, but that's actually not what I've admired the most about him. What I've admired the most about him is how he handles his success. He's always appeared to me to have such great humility and to be such a generous soul for the success that he's had.

And so I've just wanted to meet him. And so I'm using the show today to get to know somebody I've admired from a distance. And you're going to get to share this time up close and learn from him. So John Paul DeJorio, welcome to the show finally. Great to have you.
