In this bonus episode of Money and Wealth with John O’Bryant, John shares a powerful real-life story from early in his career — a moment when a promising business deal suddenly fell apart at the negotiating table.

Ready to sign a major office lease in Los Angeles, John was unexpectedly met with hesitation, delays, and a quiet wall of resistance. Instead of walking away defeated, he chose a different strategy: reframe the setback, rethink the approach, and find a creative path forward.

What follows is a lesson in navigating bias, perception, and credibility in high-stakes business spaces. John explains how he built an unexpected partnership, secured the deal anyway, and turned a closed door into a long-term launchpad for both his company and the early work of Operation HOPE.

This episode isn’t just about real estate — it’s about resilience, emotional discipline, and removing the “but” that can block opportunity. John breaks down how to move from frustration to focus, from rejection to leverage, and why sometimes success means finding another way into the room.

A masterclass in negotiation mindset, relationship capital, and turning obstacles into strategy.
