Fred and Derek know that the last year and a half hasn’t been easy for anyone, but especially for diverse entrepreneurs who have had to rethink the future of their business and do whatever to survive these tough times. Each episode, we’ll listen as Fred VanVleet and Derek Folk (Fred’s Financial Advisor) help struggling or up-and-coming BIPOC entrepreneurs shape their business, revamp and sometimes relaunch it altogether.

"Bet on Yourself" is all about finding companies that present Fred and Derek with a double bottom line opportunity, meaning the hosts are on the hunt for companies and businesses that not only have the potential for monetary growth, but are also likely to affect culture in a positive way. Using their collective skills as masters of hustle, entrepreneurship, branding, finance and e-commerce, they will support business owners with insight, motivation and real talk.

"Bet on Yourself" premieres November 3, 2021.
