@johnhopebryant_ Our community feels the crisis first — but we’ve always turned nothing into something. This reset isn’t about surviving, it’s about preparing. Better credit. Better choices. Better futures. Financial literacy is the civil rights issue of our generation. It’s time to reimagine everything.

@johnhopebryant_ A $100 trillion wealth transfer is coming — and $15 trillion of that is profitable businesses with no succession plan. The kids don’t want the business. The spouses don’t want the business. They want the cash. Meanwhile, those companies are cash-flowing and ready for a new owner. Stop trying to raise $25K for a startup that’ll fold in 3 weeks. Go buy a real business with real revenue and let the bank finance it. Find the owners ready to retire. Build relationships. Make deals. We don’t need handouts — just hand ups. Black capitalists matter. Thank you @forbesBLK & @jb_young for the powerful conversation and for having me at the ForbesBLK Summit this year. #GenerationalWealth #FinancialLiteracy #WealthBuilding ♬ Last Hope – Steve Ralph
@johnhopebryant_ 🚨 Please hear me on this: Capitalism is a gladiator sport. It’s not personal it’s business. Too often, we get caught up in emotions, when in reality, the game is about focus, strategy, and execution. We’ve already mastered culture, creativity, and cool. The next step? Capitalism, commerce, and understanding money. That’s why financial literacy isn’t just education it’s the civil rights issue of this generation. One example I love: A woman was passed over for CEO. Instead of complaining, she stayed focused, built her plan… and later bought her former employer. That’s the mindset. That’s how you win. Not through arguments—but through massive success. We’ve conquered sports, art, politics, and faith. Now it’s time to conquer economics. The rules are written—we just need to play the game. 📖 Grab my #1 bestselling book Financial Literacy for All 🎙️ Listen to my top-ranked Money & Wealth Podcast on @blackeffect @iheartradio @iheartpodcast 🤝 Get your free financial coaching scholarship from @operationhopehq #FinancialLiteracy #FinancialFreedom #Wealth ♬ original sound – John Hope Bryant
@johnhopebryant_ What if instead of spending 💍 $35,000 on a wedding… you used it as a down payment on a HOUSE? A $200K home only needs 10% down. Imagine giving your spouse the keys as your wedding gift now that’s generational wealth. Here’s the truth: ⚫ Only 44% of Black Americans own a home compared to 75% of white Americans. ⚫ Homeownership is the #1 wealth builder in America. ⚫ Closing that gap means closing the wealth gap. Why rent a hall when you can own the hall? Tap into programs like @OperationHOPE to get free financial coaching and access to capital. Let’s make smart, sexy, and cool. #GenerationalWealth #FinancialLiteracy #BlackWealth #Homeownership ♬ original sound – John Hope Bryant

That’s why I created a Business Plan for America—for Black America, for rural America, for women, for Native Americans, for Asians, for ALL of us. No more excuses. The blueprint is here. 👉🏾 Download it at DreamForward John Bryant Operation HOPE Business Plan for America and start building your future today.

During the global pandemic period of 2020-2022, a growing list of Fortune 500 CEOs and leaders referred to John Hope Bryant as a necessary ‘conscious on capitalism.’ Bryant firmly believes that a for-profit business enterprise can do well, and do good, too. That issues such as participatory stakeholder capitalism amongst line employee groups, or a corporate commitment to diversity and inclusion, are not ‘moral issues’ to be argued, nor nagging costs on the balance sheet burdening a company, but essential investments in future shareholder value, and untapped business assets to be embraced. Bryant believes that truths and profitability can simultaneously be held to light. He believes that you can achieve ‘social justice through an economic lens,’ and profitability and responsible wealth creation in the same breath.
