Face 2 Face with John Paul DeJoria

John Paul DeJoria’s rags-to-riches tale is one of the most inspiring in America. This Austinite parlayed a $700 startup, Paul Mitchell Systems, into a $900 million-a-year hair care heavyweight that has put him on Forbes magazine’s list of global billionaires. He is an instrumental backer of exciting ventures such as the Circuit of Americas F1 track and Patron tequila, a brand he co-founded 20 years ago that created the "ultra-premium" market for what was once seen as a bottom-shelf spirit. A devoted father and husband, DeJoria devotes his time and resources to several noble efforts, including the landmine-ridding UK nonprofit MINESEEKER.
