In today’s episode, I talk to John Paul Dejoria of Paul Mitchell haircare and Patron Tequila. John Paul is a BILLIONAIRE. Both of his companies are billion-dollar empires, but this dude didn’t just have everything handed to him. He grew up on the streets of LA, started his hair care company out of his car, lived off $2 dollars per day, and HUSTLED to make his dreams happen. And now, he gives a ton of it back to charity. Check out JPJ’s Peace, Love & Happiness Foundation at www.PeaceLoveHappinessFoundation.org/.

In today’s episode, I’m giving y’all an update on what’s going on at AppSumo! This is a new series we’re trying out called This Week at AppSumo (aka, TWAS).  I think most of you out there know that I’m the founder and CEO of AppSumo (the BEST site for software deals online!) and since I started it 13 years ago, it’s grown to a 8-figure/year company. But the truth is — I’m still learning new things every day at the business. So these episodes are my time to share what I’m learning, mistakes we’ve made, and behind-the-scenes moments at the business that you won’t find anywhere else.  If you’re a founder, I hope these episodes give you ideas of things to try in your business (or maybe NOT try…) or I hope you find them interesting and entertaining! Hit me up on Instagram and let me know what you think about this new series (I reply to DMs). If you’ve ever wanted to learn about the day-to-day decisions we make to grow AppSumo, you’ll love this episode. In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 5 BIG things: What are 'Retros'  Future planning  Long bets Removing yourself from the business Having the right people around Enjoy those 5 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way. 🌮 Wanna save money on software?
