ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 5, 2026--

Operation HOPE Founder, Chairman and CEO John Hope Bryant, one of the nation’s most influential voices on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and inclusive capitalism, has surpassed a major digital milestone with more than 1 billion total video views across social media platforms over the past two years.

The milestone reflects Bryant’s growing global influence as a thought leader addressing financial dignity, economic empowerment, and leadership in an era of rapid technological and social change. His content—spanning short-form video, keynote excerpts, and timely commentary—has resonated with audiences ranging from young entrepreneurs to senior business and policy leaders.

In parallel with his social media success, Bryant’s podcast, Money and Wealth, has earned consistent top rankings throughout 2025, landing in the Top 50 Entrepreneurship podcasts and Top 100 Business podcasts nationally. The podcast features candid conversations on money psychology, wealth building, leadership, and purpose-driven capitalism, drawing listeners from across the business, nonprofit, and innovation ecosystems.

“Reaching one billion views isn’t about virality—it’s about relevance,” said Bryant. “People are hungry for practical, honest conversations about money, opportunity, and hope. The success of Money and Wealth and our digital platforms shows that financial empowerment is no longer a niche issue—it’s a global priority.”

Bryant’s expanding digital footprint complements his decades-long work through Operation HOPE, which has served more than 4 million individuals worldwide through financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and economic inclusion programs, while directing over $4 billion in capital into underserved communities. His ability to translate complex economic issues into accessible, actionable insights has made him a trusted voice across media, corporate boardrooms, and communities alike.

With momentum continuing into 2026, Bryant plans to further expand his digital and audio platforms, deepen partnerships with mission-aligned organizations, and continue shaping the national and global conversation around inclusive prosperity. His seventh book, Capitalism for All: Inclusive Economics and the Future Proofing of America will be released March 31, and is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Walmart.com.
