Summary

What’s up, you sexy bastards. It’s your boy ‘diapers’ aka Rabbi Can’t Lose aka Noah Kagan.

Today we’re re-running our awesome episode with John Paul DeJoria!

John Paul is so INSPIRATIONAL. This was one of our most popular episodes last year (and also one of the most popular videos on my YouTube channel too), so we thought we’d put him in your ears once again.

John Paul went from being homeless to creating two billion dollar companies in completely separate industries, John Paul Mitchell haircare, and Patrón tequila.

In this episode, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

Why creating the best products is essential for growing your company.
Why forgiveness is important if you want to move forward in life.
What being rich really means.

All these plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.

If you dig this episode and want to hear another wise, successful entrepreneur story, go back and check out the conversation we did with Kevin Kelly, the founder of Wired magazine, that’s episode 298 in this feed.
