Ep 28: Should You STOP Calling Your Business Black-Owned? | The John Hope Bryant Debate
Does calling your company a “Black-owned business” help your brand—or could it be limiting your market? Entrepreneur and Operation HOPE founder John Hope Bryant has sparked a larger conversation about Black business and economic empowerment by arguing that Black entrepreneurs should build businesses capable of serving everyone rather than potentially defining their market by race. Coach Swan Simpson, Cretelia Harris and Robin White—the 3 Amigos—take the conversation to the table. Does Black-owned create valuable brand identity, community and customer loyalty? Could emphasizing the label discourage some potential customers? Should Black entrepreneurs focus on building mainstream companies and reinvest the wealth they create into Black communities? And why can't a company be proudly Black-owned while marketing its products and services to everybody? It's a provocative conversation about Black entrepreneurship, branding, business growth, ownership, wealth and whether identity is an economic limitation—or a competitive advantage. The 3 Amigos weigh in, but the final question belongs to you: Should we stop saying “Black-owned”—or own it even louder?

Ep 27: Are Millionaires STILL Being Made In Trump's Economy
Fidelity reported a record 769,000 401(k) millionaire accounts in Q2 2026 — raising an interesting question: Are millionaires STILL being made in Trump’s economy? In Episode 27, The Three Amigos — Coach Swan Simpson, Cretelia Harris and Robin White — examine the numbers behind today’s economy and the Americans who are continuing to accumulate wealth. We break down the rise of the 401(k) millionaire, how decades of consistent investing can turn ordinary retirement contributions into seven figures, and what these numbers do — and don’t — tell us about the financial health of everyday Americans. We also tackle the bigger conversation: Has the path to becoming a millionaire changed? Does wealth still require an extraordinary income, or are time, consistency, investing and ownership still some of the biggest pieces of the equation? Everybody has an opinion about the economy. This episode looks at the receipts. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ep 26: AI IS COMING FOR YOUR JOB — HIDE THE WOMEN & CHILDREN!!
Artificial intelligence is changing how we work—but does that automatically mean humans lose? On Episode 26 of The Build Black Show, Coach Swan Simpson, Cretelia Harris and Robin White sit down for a candid conversation about AI, automation, jobs, entrepreneurship and the future of work. As businesses increasingly use artificial intelligence to automate tasks and increase productivity, workers are being forced to confront a serious question: What happens to my career if AI can do part of my job? The 3 Amigos offer another perspective. Instead of only asking which jobs AI could replace, what if we asked what businesses, income streams and opportunities people can create by learning to use AI? We explore using artificial intelligence to start businesses, increase productivity, create content, improve sales and marketing, develop new skills and turn knowledge into income. AI is changing the rules. The question is whether we're going to watch the change happen—or learn how to participate in the opportunities it creates.

Ep 24: They Can Take Your Business: Legal Red Flags Every Entrepreneur Should Know
You built the company — but have you actually protected your ownership of it? Attorney Scherrie L. Prince joins The Build Black Show to reveal overlooked business structure and operational red flags that can put entrepreneurs, their assets and even control of their companies at risk. In this episode, we examine the legal side of entrepreneurship that many small business owners don't think about until there's already a problem. Scherrie discusses business structures, LLCs, partnerships, ownership agreements, contracts, intellectual property, asset protection and the operational decisions that can create unexpected vulnerabilities inside a growing company. What happens when business partners disagree? Does forming an LLC automatically protect you? Are your ownership documents and agreements actually protecting what you think they are? And could the way you're operating your company create problems later? This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs, founders and small business owners who aren't just trying to start a business — but want to build, protect and retain ownership of something valuable. Episode 24 of The Build Black Show explores an important side of wealth building that doesn't get talked about enough: It's not enough to build it. You need to know how to protect it.
