From 14 Moves to $1 Billion: Kevin Newell's Rising Forward Story

Kevin Newell moved fourteen times before he went to college. Today, he's transforming that instability into solutions — as founder and CEO of Royal Capital Group, Newell has built a billion-dollar portfolio proving that the people who lived the problem are the ones who can solve it.
From redeveloping Phillis Wheatley School — the grade school he once attended — to creating the Good Hope Library, to building ThriveOn King, a $105 million "lifestyle campus" in the heart of Bronzeville, Newell is rewriting what's possible. He's the first African American to build and own multi-family commercial properties in downtown Milwaukee and Madison, and the first to partner with an NBA team on a commercial entertainment district. Now he's taking the Wisconsin model to Fort Worth, Texas.
In this inaugural episode of Rising Forward, Shannon Sims sits down with Newell to explore how his mother's sacrifice, his aunt and uncle's sanctuary, and even his biggest setbacks became the foundation for a new model of community-centered development.
