Money follows value, and value runs through relationships. In this special compilation, five past guests break down relationship capital: the trust, rapport and reputation that open doors a check can’t. John Hope Bryant of Operation HOPE explains why money’s a coward and you’re the real asset. Imani Ellis shares how CultureCon grew from a Harlem living room. Omi Bell of Black Girl Ventures shows how to reach the people with the budget. Stefanie Brown James of The Collective explains why your relationship with elected officials matters as much as your vote. And Morgan DeBaun of Blavity and AfroTech names the ego problem that keeps Black businesses from joining forces.
