Magnolia co-founder, TV personality, bestselling author, and proud Southwestern Advantage alumni Chip Gaines talks about his beginnings selling books door to door, his true calling as a “riverboat pastor”, the hybrid of James Dean and the Marlboro Man that he called his grandfather, awakening the grizzly bear of work ethic, what L.U.C.K. really stands for, plus shares some "breaking news" about his family, contemplates nature vs nurture and chicken vs egg, recalls the best day of his life (which sort of wasn’t so great), shares his Austin Powers moment, reflects on being too broke to declare bankruptcy and how he initially thought the offer for Fixer Upper was a scam, and talks about deploying his secret weapon: Joanna Gaines.


About Chip:

Chip Gaines is the co-owner and co-founder of Magnolia, and a New York Times bestselling author determined to keep everyone on their toes. Along with his wife Joanna, he is constantly reinventing the wheel on what they can achieve together as a company and is always eager to give back to individuals and communities.

Born in Albuquerque and raised in Dallas, Chip later graduated from Baylor University’s Hankamer School of Business with a Marketing degree. An entrepreneur by nature, Chip has started a number of small businesses and has remodeled hundreds of homes in the Waco area.

But more than any good adventure or hard-working demo day, Chip loves an early morning on the farm and a slow day spent with Jo and their five kids.
