What if one of the unlocks for living the good life lies in the simple act of giving?

Welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast, where we dive into the minds of the world's greatest thinkers and doers.

I'm your host, Dr. Michael Jervais, by trade and training a high-performance psychologist.

And today's guest is a true icon of entrepreneurship, resilience, and generosity.

Jean-Paul DeGioia, a co-founder of not one but two billion-dollar brands,

Petron Tequila and Paul Mitchell Hair Care products.

Now, what you might not know is that before building billion-dollar companies,

JP was homeless, selling products door-to-door just to get by.

His journey, it's a master class in grit and optimism and the power of perseverance.

In this conversation, JP shares how his toughest moments shaped

his mindset and why giving back, no matter how little you have, can transform your life. And why he

believes wealth isn't about money. It's about gratitude. It's about impact. So get ready. J.P. has a

deep spark. It's got a heart of gold ready. JP has a deep spark.

It's got a heart of gold.

When you think of living a great life, have you lived a great life?

I have lived an unbelievable great life.

I've had, as most people know, a lot of adversity in my life, okay?

But I want to learn, and I'm learning more as I get older and older and older, that that's a good thing.
