In this "Lessons" episode, Andy Schoonover, Founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, shares his insights on building an early-stage team and growing a company in an entirely new category. He explains why grit, adaptability, and a willingness to figure things out often matter more than impressive résumés or big-company experience, and how practical hiring tests can reveal the way candidates actually think and solve problems. Andy also discusses the importance of identifying the right early adopters, experimenting with different marketing channels, and doing unscalable work early on to better understand customers, improve their experience, and ultimately build a stronger product that can scale.

John Paul DeJoria is an entrepreneur and philanthropist with a net worth of roughly $3 billion, best known as co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patrón Spirits Company. He started Paul Mitchell in 1980 with a $700 loan while living out of his car and selling shampoo door-to-door. That company now generates over $900 million in annual revenue with products sold in more than 80 countries. In 1989 he co-founded Patrón Tequila, which grew into one of the world's top-selling ultra-premium tequilas before Bacardi acquired it in 2018 for $5.1 billion, one of the largest spirits deals in history. His journey from homeless to billionaire made him one of the most respected voices on entrepreneurship and resilience, and he's pledged to give away the majority of his wealth through JP's Peace Love and Happiness Foundation.
