I wanted to do my part to help preserve that golden age of travel... I step aboard The Patron Tequila Express railcar, and I go back in time to the days when a long journey was something fun and very special.

Management philosophy: Pay attention to the vital fiew and ignore the trivial many. I could go insane if I obsessed over every little details of all my companies.

Successful people do all the things that unsuccessful people don't want to do.

I make the majority of my money from Patron, but my passion is with Paul Mitchell: I spend 85 per cent of my time on it.

You ought to be able to make a nice profit and also do something to change the world.

My first job, 9 years old, part-time, was selling Christmas cards door-to-door. Ten years old, my brother and I had paper routes. We delivered a morning paper called the 'L.A. Examiner.' Get up at 4 o'clock, fold your papers, deliver them and get ready for school.

Change, create, inspire. Dreams really do work.
