I'll tell anyone and everyone who will Literacy is the KEY. Learn and Invest on your own, BUT also take advantage of your company's 401K plan. It's LEGIT and will assist you in getting to where you want to be regarding your financial situation. Great segment 👍.

[EcomCarl]

It's essential to recognize that equipping individuals with financial knowledge is a cornerstone for building sustainable communities and economies. 👍

John Bryant is spitting some serious knowledge. I'm buying his book, if you don't learn you don't earn, if you don't read you won't lead.

[FDouglas]

Powerful message! Actionable, simple and doable.

John Hope Bryant is the kind of entrepreneur we need to hear more from.

He fully acknowledges the history of racism but he’s also about self accountability, responsibility and action.

No excuse making. Taking control of what we can control. Aspire higher.

Wonderful message.

This was my first time watching a Forbes interview. Great, engaging exchange.

[ericterashima]

This was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for the segment.

[dremel]

Just purchased this book real time, I really want to be more financial literate, self starter and business successful. And I will become that. Thank you for this content. And stay connected🔌

[pilateswithamala]

Thank you. We will use this book in our homeschool curriculum. Much appreciated.

[foodbytheword]

Extremely value-added information!!!👍🏿🙏🏿

[missnlahi]

My first time hearing of this author. He's speaking the truth that I've been saying for years. But my people we've been conditioned to focus on looking good and rich when we have small money, rather than paying down debt and buying stocks. It's a mental paradigm shift that needs to occur for the message to sink into the masses.

[ericaleverson]

You got that right about low self-esteem in the black community. If I wanted to know all the reasons why NOT to open a business or buy a home, all I had to do was talk to somebody in my black community

[cynthiaharrison]

Financial Lieracy For All is all that! Essential and life changing information! Great read!

[BrittishB.]

This was a remarkable episode. It's saved in my "Motivational" Playlist

[marcianbethel]

My brother I’m from the Bahamas and you hit the nail on the head with this interview.

[MsTiLaJ]

Excellent conversation and wealth of information🙌🏾. Thank you🙏🏽

[centariogrier]

Excellent interview. As a 14-year financial advisor/planner...I agree with everything Brother John shared. Unbiased, objective and factual information.

[unearnedinc]

Great interview. The only argument I'll make is that the home mortgage deduction is largely gone away with the higher standard deduction limits and rising property taxes along with home insurance is making many places unaffordable.

[ParisNative]

Thank you for your contribution Mr. Bryant. You have inspired me to change my life with thw little information i have gained from watching you. I can only imagine what the future holds when i sign up to your program. 🙏

[richardjohnson]

I second everything said between 1:04 - 1:44
