From the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant.
The Memphis Area Minority Contractors Association asked me to keynote its gala at the Cadre Building, and I brought the most practical message I have.

I also told the room that your job won’t be taken by AI; it will be taken by someone who understands AI. We are living through a third reconstruction, and this one is about ownership.
