I was homeless.
Credit score in the 400s.
A brother in Compton with nothing.
Now, folks see the success and think it’s a fairytale.
But this isn’t a story — it’s real.
And it’s why I do what I do.
Not everyone can relate to me today — but ...they can relate to success stories like this one.
That’s why I spotlight the heroes, sheroes, and entrepreneurs rising up from nothing.
Through operationhope, we’ve helped over 450,000 Black businesses start, grow, or thrive.
That’s halfway to our 1MBB goal — 1 million Black businesses.
Because we can’t just talk about change. We have to be it.
Anyone can sign up for HOPE services — they’re for everybody.
But we focus on those at the bottom of the pyramid… because Black folks built this country and never got paid.

Positivity doesn’t guarantee success. But negativity guarantees failure.
We’ve spent decades over-relying on government to fix our lives.
Now it’s time to take ownership.
I created a free Business Plan for Black America — and 40–50% of it doesn’t require ...government intervention.

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.
Over the past 30+ years, Bryant has built more than 40 companies, organizations and brands, many of which today represent the sole leadership in their area or sector. Two of these organizations are the largest and most successful in their space; namely Operation HOPE, the nation’s largest non-profit financial literacy, financial inclusion and economic empowerment organization, and The Promise Homes Company, the nation’s largest minority controlled owner of single family rental homes.
