In the Season 3 premiere of Money & Wealth, John Hope Bryant breaks down a powerful truth about capitalism: the most profitable opportunities are often hiding in plain sight. From trash collection and plumbing to cybersecurity and grant writing, John reveals the essential businesses every city in America must rely on—no matter the economy. These “non-optional demand” industries create steady income, long-term contracts, and real pathways to ownership and generational wealth. He also unpacks the fundamentals of capitalism through a simple negotiation example, explaining how value, profit, and power actually move in the marketplace. If you’ve ever wondered where the safest entrepreneurial opportunities live—or how to position yourself to win in the system—this episode lays the blueprint.
