In this powerful episode of Money and Wealth with John O’Bryant, John O’Bryant breaks down a hard truth: intelligence alone does not guarantee success. From Steve Jobs being fired from Apple, to Oprah Winfrey being told she was unfit for television, to Thomas Edison failing thousands of times before inventing the light bulb — history proves that the smartest people don’t win because they’re smart. They win because they refuse to quit. John shares deeply personal stories about nearly losing everything, rebuilding from financial setbacks, and how founding Operation HOPE wasn’t a straight path to success — it was a journey shaped by failure, faith, and persistence.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
