In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Business Rockstars sits down with John Paul DeJoria, co-founder of John Paul Mitchell System and Patron Tequila, who talks about his early start in business and the importance of giving back.

However, his mother always instilled in him the idea that someone is always in more need than he was, and so DeJoria has made giving back an important part of his mission.
