What happens when two successful men discover they grew up just minutes apart in Compton and followed remarkably similar paths to success?

On this inspiring episode of Money & Wealth, Anthony Anderson joins John Hope Bryant for a powerful conversation about dreams, determination, financial literacy, and building generational wealth. From riding buses across Los Angeles to pursue their ambitions to creating successful careers and businesses, both men share the lessons that helped shape their journeys.

Anthony opens up about the teachers who changed his life, earning his degree from Howard University decades after leaving school, investing instead of splurging when success arrived, and why relationships—not transactions—have been the key to his career. John shares how a childhood lesson from a banker sparked a lifelong mission to make financial literacy accessible for everyone.
