Podcast appearances and mentions of John Paul DeJoria

John Paul DeJoria epitomizes the American dream, rising from adversity to become a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is best known for co-founding iconic brands John Paul Mitchell Systems and The Patrón Spirits Company. John Paul has made philanthropy his core mission, establishing JP's Peace, Love & Happiness Family Foundation in 2011 to contribute to a sustainable planet by investing in people, animals, and the environment. This year, he was recognized as #24 on Forbes' list of the 250 Greatest Self-Made Americans. His motto, "Success Unshared is Failure," which is also the title of his new book, reflects a lifelong commitment to sharing success and fostering positive change. Summary John Paul DeJoria's life story has the shape of the American dream, but in this conversation he keeps pulling it back from myth into practice. He begins with a lesson from his mother, who had very little after his father left but still taught him and his brother to give a dime to the Salvation Army because someone else always needed more. That early ethic becomes the foundation of his book, motto, and operating philosophy: success only matters if it is shared. The discussion then moves through the formative hardships that could have made him bitter: foster care, homelessness, odd jobs, and door-to-door sales. John Paul does not romanticize those moments, but he does turn them into practical leadership lessons. When you are down, don't relive what got you there; look for the next constructive step. When you are rejected, be prepared for it, refuse to personalize it, and knock on the next door with the same enthusiasm. From there, the episode turns to entrepreneurship. John Paul explains why Paul Mitchell was built for the "reorder business," not the selling business: make the product so good that customers come back again and again. Scarcity forced the company to become lean, direct, and deeply customer-centered, teaching hairdressers how to use and sell the products instead of relying on advertising. The same playbook carried into Patrón, where education, quality, and grassroots selling helped create a premium tequila category that many distributors initially said was too expensive to scale. Finally, the conversation becomes a meditation on values, leadership, and legacy. John Paul talks about refusing to test on animals, stripping out unnecessary middle management, learning to let go as a leader, and building a culture where people know the mission without constant supervision. His philanthropy follows the same logic as his companies: not just giving money away, but investing in dignity, self-sufficiency, and a chance for people to move one notch higher. His definition of excellence closes the loop beautifully: excellence is what you do when no one is looking and the desire to keep finding something you can do a little bit better. Takeaways ·       "Success Unshared is Failure" was not a slogan for John Paul; it started as a childhood lesson in generosity when his family had almost nothing. ·       Adversity only becomes useful when it teaches you to look forward. You cannot change "yesterday's newspapers," but you can decide the next step. ·       Rejection is survivable when you expect it. The trick is not to avoid the closed doors, but to keep your energy intact for the next one. ·       Great businesses are built for reorder, not just first purchase. Quality has to be strong enough that customers come back without being chased. ·       Scarcity can sharpen a company. With no advertising budget, Paul Mitchell had to win by educating hairdressers and helping salons create retail revenue. ·       The real product was the system: the bottle, the stylist education, the salon relationship, and the customer experience all worked together. ·       Values become real when they cost something. Refusing to test on animals was not positioned as a marketing tactic but as a line John Paul would not cross. ·       The best partnerships have clear lanes. Paul Mitchell brought the hairdressing and creative credibility; John Paul brought the business building and go-to-market engine. ·       Scaling as a leader requires letting go. John Paul had to learn that having time to think was as important as personally overseeing every detail. ·       The best philanthropy is a hand up, not a handout. John Paul frames giving as an investment in someone's ability to become self-sufficient. ·       Excellence is not status or achievement. It is the standard you hold when no one else is watching and the commitment to keep growing.

John Paul DeJoria grew up with no connections, no money, and no roadmap. He sold encyclopedias door-to-door despite constant rejection, got fired from three consecutive jobs, and lived out of his car while raising his young son. Then, with just $700, he launched John Paul Mitchell Systems and built it into a billion-dollar haircare company. That same relentless spirit later helped him turn Patrón Tequila into one of the most recognized spirit brands in the world. In this episode, John Paul joins Ilana to share what it truly takes to build something from nothing, why rejection is just redirection, and why success unshared is failure. John Paul DeJoria is a self-made billionaire, entrepreneur, and the visionary co-founder behind John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patrón Tequila.

John Paul DeJoria co-founded Paul Mitchell hair care and Patrón tequila, but he'll be the first to tell you he started with nothing. Unless you count the dime his mom handed him to drop in a Salvation Army bucket when he was six. That dime taught him everything. After getting fired from three jobs and living out of his car, he finally started making real money at 35 with Paul Mitchell. Then came Patrón. When he sold it, it was the biggest sale in alcohol industry history. But DeJoria never forgot that dime. He's planted over a million trees, helped generate 42,000 tons of food through Grow Appalachia, and given away millions every year to house and employ the homeless. In his new memoir, Success Unshared is Failure, he makes the case that no matter how much you make, it means nothing if you're not sharing it with others. Learn more about your ad choices.

"The pain you're trying to escape might be the purpose you're meant to live." In this powerful Soultalk episode, Kute sits down with  the visionary, entrepreneur, philanthropist, Co-founder of Paul Mithcell Sytems, John Paul DeJoria. He doesn't just talk about purpose like a slogan, he talks about it like a man who earned it. In this Soul talk episode, he shares the real story behind sleeping in his car, getting fired multiple times, and building Paul Mitchell into a global empire without losing his humanity, his faith, or his heart. What makes this conversation different is how practical it is. JP breaks down how purpose often reveals itself through rejection, how to keep moving when everything collapses, and why your "worst moments" may be the exact training ground you'll someday use to lift others. This isn't motivational fluff, it's a lived philosophy forged in hardship. If you've ever felt lost, behind, rejected, or afraid to start because you don't have a perfect plan… this is the reset you didn't know you needed. JP's message is simple: your purpose isn't to avoid failure, it's to learn, rise, and give back with what you've lived. TIMESTAMPS (00:00:00) – The moment everything fell apart… and why it changed everything. (00:02:18) – Homeless and sleeping in his car: the decision that kept him going. (00:05:40) – Fired again and again; why rejection became his greatest advantage, (00:09:05) – The mindset shift that turns rock bottom into momentum. (00:12:30) – The "rejection formula" that builds unstoppable resilience. (00:16:10) – Why most people stay stuck (and the habit you need to drop today). (00:19:45) – How to move forward fast without carrying your past. (00:23:20) – Where the real opportunities are right now (and how to see them). (00:27:05 – What success really means and why most people get it wrong. (00:31:10) – The final message: why your story is bigger than you think Some Questions I Ask: What if the worst thing that ever happened to you is actually preparing you for your life's work? How do you keep going when every door keeps closing and nothing seems to work? Are you holding onto a past that's silently blocking your future? What if rejection isn't stopping you… but trying to redirect you? Where are the real opportunities right now and why are most people missing them? What would change if success wasn't about what you get… but who you become? In this episode, you will learn: How purpose evolves over time and why not knowing your purpose yet doesn't mean you're behind The "rejection mindset" that builds unstoppable resilience (and how to stay enthusiastic on the next "door") How to move forward fast by dropping the past and the one mental habit that keeps people stuck ​Where the real opportunities are right now for entrepreneurs ​JP's definition of success that changes everything Get in Touch: https://www.purposesummit2026.com/tps-26131005?inf_contact_key=61a1aef32d624b0112ddad1cc5fd42dc  Create a life that is a masterpiece.

2025 has been one of the most eye-opening years of my founder journey — personally, professionally, and strategically. Instead of sharing a highlight reel, I want to share the real lessons that moved the needle for me. Some changed how I think about business. Others changed how I think about myself. In this episode, I break down the five biggest lessons I learned this year, and how they're shaping everything I'm doing heading into 2026. These aren't theories. They're lived experiences — conversations with billion-dollar founders, tough decisions inside Foundr, personal growth work, and some hard realities about what actually drives results. Here's what you'll take away: • “If you don't have repeat customers, you don't have a business.” Why retention is the real engine of profit — and how John Paul DeJoria reframed the entire way I think about growth • Why AI and automation are now a non-negotiable competitive advantage, and how we used them internally this year to compress months of work into weeks • The mindset shift that got me unstuck: When you're stuck, ask what you're avoiding — not what you should do • How to negotiate from power, not panic — and why being willing to walk away changes everything • The truth about growth: nothing great works instantly, and why patience, pressure, and data-backed iteration are the real superpowers going into 2026 If you want a clearer lens to evaluate your own business next year — what to double down on, what to avoid, and what to rethink — this episode will give you the frameworks and perspective to build with intention instead of chaos.

Somebody said to me once, feel the feel and then take the wheel. And mindfulness is when you take the wheel. Thoughts On Breathing Breathing is the first thing I stop when I get stressed out. Being aware of your breath and breathing and watching the changes that occur in your body when you take control of your breathing is absolutely the best. Bullying Story In my career as a marine biologist, I was fortunate to have supportive men, fellow students, and professors, especially during my education. However, I did experience bullying, which is still prevalent, particularly online. When I was younger, I wasn't aware of mindfulness, so my initial reaction was to respond immediately. Now, I've learned to step back and take a deep breath first. Mindfulness helps me recognize the energy directed at me and understand it often has nothing to do with me personally. By pausing and being mindful, I protect my integrity and defuse the situation, as the bully usually has their own issues. Mindfulness helps prevent a hasty response to bullying, and I try to apply this in my life. I'm not always perfect, but I strive to be better.

Mike Einziger, the lead guitarist of the '90s rock band Incubus, and his wife, science teacher-turned-rock violinist Ann Marie Simpson-Einziger, did not intend to start a beauty brand.  Ann Marie Simpson-Einziger organically came upon her hero ingredient, a yeast-derived compound called malassezin, after being diagnosed with a harmless skin condition. The diagnosis led her to question whether something that "most people would view as a negative" could be harnessed to address common skin concerns — namely, hyperpigmentation and the common desire people have to lighten darkened patches of skin.  That was over six years ago — that's how long it's taken the couple to build a team, complete extensive testing, develop a formula and bring it to testing. Plus, they fundraised to the tune of $6.2 million dollars, with key investors including The Female Founders Fund, Nyx founder Toni Ko and Paul Mitchell co-founder John Paul DeJoria.  On May 9, the brand finally launched, with one product — Molecular Hero Serum — offered for sale on its e-commerce site.

Michaeline DeJoria is the CEO of John Paul Mitchell Systems, the largest privately-owned hair company in the world. She became CEO in 2021 to run the globally respected brand started by her father, John Paul DeJoria, in 1980 with just $700 and three products.
