We started the hashtag #americasfavoriteentrepreneur to post articles about John Paul because, well, it's just true ;). In this video, John Paul defines success, talks about how he got started giving back at a young age and how he celebrates (or doesn't celebrate) his birthday.
PLH Ride 2018
We get asked about our name a lot -- why Peace, Love & Happiness? To us, it's not just a name or a collection of abstract ideas; it's long been John Paul's approach to life and philanthropy. Sixteen years ago, John Paul founded the Peace, Love & Happiness Ride with his friend Gary Spellman. Together, they have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities over the years by riding motorcycles, hosting amazing concerts and inviting friends to come along. Our foundation was born out of that same idea -- live your life by these principles and invite people to the celebration. See you at PLH 2018! ☮ ❤ :)
John Paul and MLF on In Depth with Graham Bensinger
John Paul was recently profiled on In Depth with Graham Bensinger. You can see his Austin home and cars, hear from Eloise about how they met and listen to John Paul talk about never selling out. But, of course, we are most excited about seeing John Paul tour the Community First! Village at Mobile Loaves and Fishes. The Ferrari is fine, but, hey, giving is our work and life ;)

Good Fortune
For our first update, we want to introduce the film Good Fortune by Josh and Rebecca Tickell. The documentary will give you a great idea of who John Paul DeJoria is and what he is all about from the perspective of his friends Dan Ackroyd, Danny Trejo, Michelle Phillips and more. Many of our partners and their work are featured as well!
