After experiencing a childhood of poverty and his own encounters with homelessness in early adulthood, John Paul DeJoria is recognized as one of the greatest entrepreneurs and philanthropists in our country. He also exemplifies what Alan Graham likes to refer to as the Heart-Over-Pocket or H/P Ratio. From an early job as a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman to his role as co-founder of the Paul Mitchell line of hair products and also Patron tequila, John Paul lives by a key mantra - "Success unshared is total failure."

Tracy Krause is a brave woman who understands what it takes to survive. After enduring a challenging and abusive childhood, she left home as a young teenager and walked into a life of drug and alcohol addiction on the streets. She now knows without a doubt that the people you surround yourself with have a significant impact on your path in life. Tracy's journey has led her to Community First! Village, where for once she feels like her dignity is being restored and her soul redeemed. Her story culminates with an overwhelming sense of joy and healing when she experiences the familiar comfort of a hug from another loving individual.
