Mellody Hobson, one of the most influential business leaders in the world, sits down with Bishop T.D. Jakes for a powerful conversation about money, trauma, identity, leadership, and the calling behind her work. As the President and Co-CEO of Ariel Investments and Chair of Starbucks, Mellody has advised CEOs, shaped boardrooms, and partnered with cultural icons from Oprah Winfrey to her husband, filmmaker George Lucas.

In this intimate episode, Mellody opens up about growing up in poverty — living with clothes packed in garbage bags and moving constantly — and how those early struggles shaped her extraordinary rise. She reflects on how pain, when unwrapped, always brings a gift, and how tragedy creates the canvas for triumph. Her story is one of grit, faith, and relentless purpose.

Mellody and Bishop Jakes dive into generational wealth, financial literacy, and the emotional journeys behind money — discussing figures from Warren Buffett to Jamie Dimon and the leaders who shaped her worldview. She shares what she learned working alongside global icons like Oprah, appearing on Super Soul Sunday, being named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, and partnering with industry giants across finance and entertainment.

She also speaks candidly about motherhood, her daughter Everest, and the legacy she hopes to leave: peace, grounded identity, and a responsibility to make the world better. Her reflections on leadership, representation, corporate culture, and trusting oneself offer rare insight into what it means to rise to the highest levels of business without losing your humanity.

This conversation is emotional, honest, spiritually grounded, and filled with wisdom for anyone navigating purpose, money, trauma, or personal transformation.

In one of the most revealing conversations of The Next Chapter, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits down with multiplatinum rapper, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and cultural icon Jeezy for a raw, emotional, and unfiltered journey through pain, purpose, healing, and growth. From the streets of Georgia to international tours with Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West, Jeezy opens up like never before about the moments that shaped him — and the battles he had to survive to become the man he is today.

Jeezy shares intimate stories from childhood: living in Japan and Hawaii, adjusting to life in Georgia, and navigating trauma while trying to provide for his family at just 14 years old. He reflects on the loss of friends, witnessing violence firsthand, and learning to compartmentalize emotions just to stay alive. He reveals how international travel, sushi nights, and unexpected mentors helped plant the seeds of the businessman he would eventually become.

Bishop Jakes and Jeezy unpack mental health, leadership, introversion, and the pressure of being a public figure. They discuss his mother’s battle with dementia, caring for her through her final days, and carrying grief without guilt. He opens up about addiction in his family, his complicated relationship with his father, and the healing that came only when he learned to extend grace — both to them and to himself.

Jeezy also breaks down the business behind the music: financial literacy, losing millions, owning real estate, and the difference between depreciating assets like Lamborghinis and wealth-building assets that create generational freedom. Bishop Jakes shares wisdom about entrepreneurship, leadership, and the importance of having a team that challenges you, not just agrees with you.

From nearly losing his voice, to battling Bell’s palsy at the height of his career, to surviving the darkest moments of his life — Jeezy explains how pain became purpose, how faith carried him, and how he transformed from street legend to industry mogul. Along the way they touch on appearances from Barack Obama, the influence of Tupac Shakur, and lessons learned performing alongside the biggest artists in the world.

In this powerful father–daughter conversation, Bishop T.D. Jakes sits down with Sarah Jakes Roberts for an intimate and revealing episode. From growing up as a preacher’s daughter in West Virginia to becoming a global leader, bestselling author, and CEO of Woman Evolve, Sarah opens up about the chapters that shaped her life — the trauma, the pressure, the rebirth, and the evolution. Sarah reflects on her childhood inside a rapidly rising ministry, navigating expectations, identity, and the complexity of being “normal” while the world watched her family. She shares candid memories of sibling dynamics, responsibility at a young age, and the loss of innocence that came with her teen pregnancy — a moment she calls both her deepest embarrassment and her unexpected grounding force.

Together, they dive into the emotional weight of growing up under a spotlight, the challenges of purity culture, and the internal battle between shame, worthiness, and faith. Sarah reveals how she found her voice by telling her own story, why vulnerability became her shield, and how her honesty helped millions of women find their own healing. The episode also explores her first marriage, navigating a toxic relationship, divorce, and rebuilding her identity as a young mother. Sarah and her father discuss the generational differences in communication, the unspoken expectations placed on pastor’s kids, and the quiet pressure of being called to purpose before you feel ready. They unpack fame, influence, and the loss of “normalcy,” the balance between platform and private life, and the strength required to remain authentic in a world that constantly critiques. Sarah opens up about motherhood, leadership, protecting her humanity, and why she calls herself a “forever student” — learning, evolving, and growing in real time. This emotional and deeply insightful episode is a rare look into love, leadership, faith, and family — and how healing moves through generations when honesty and grace are allowed to take the lead.
