John Hope Bryant- successful entrepreneur, executive and philanthropist –will dispense his trademark ‘Straight Talk’ lessons on developing a wealth-building mindset, specifically how the Black community never got “the memo” on money – essentially how to survive and thrive in a free enterprise system.

While often provocative, Bryant will unpack the issues of the day, along with practical advice on how listeners will not only improve their current financial position, but learn how to grow and create personal wealth for themselves and their families.

Episodes will mostly feature Bryant speaking directly to the audience, with occasional guests ranging from “person on the street” interviews with inspirational individuals Bryant encounters in his travels around the world, or from his network of some of world’s most extraordinary people.
