I applaud a woman who is not afraid to venture into spaces we normally don’t occupy. Her advice definitely resonates.
Trust your instincts
I agree with you.
I went to a top 20 % private all-girl high school in NOLA and they told us that the most important decisions are made on the golf course.
Thanks for that info
My mother's boss has stated this as well!
And is…❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Yes! Play golf ⛳ can relate to this statement
Is it because a lot of rich people go there? Or what?
Her approach of hiring slowly and valuing financial literacy provides a solid foundation for anyone looking to build a resilient business. 👩💼
I think the therapy after leaving the unhealthy relationship is huge. I think people don’t value inner healing work as they should. Healing is paramount for success and peace of mind.
This interviewer was fantastic, respectful, and curious. I loved it. Sheila is an icon.
Such an underrated skill. Thank you for calling it out.
She need all the roses 🌹 she did amazing
i came to say the same thing! she did an amazing job!
Maggie idk you, but as a Black man who grew up watching BET, I REALLY appreciate the respect and candor you showed to Ms. Johnson. The fact that you created a safe, knowledgeable, and respectful space for a Black female billionaire to express her challenges and acumen is really top-notch professionalism and skill.
You both ate this interview, and I could tell Ms. Johnson really respected your conversation and interviewing skills here.
Great representation of TWO powerful and skilled women here. Kudos to you both.
Sheila Johnson was my music teacher at Sidwell Friends back in the day. She is extraordinary! A light and a joy with mulriple giftings and genuine concern for people.
The Salamander is a lovely hotel.
The 15-star rating is well deserved ❤️
Thank you because I didn’t hear them mention the name. That hotel has been on my list for some time now.
@@chameleonunleashed You’ll LOVE it.
I’ve been a guest there twice when I’ve traveled to Virginia and it’s worth every penny. There’s also an option to just go there to dine or enjoy a really nice spa day if you don’t care for a long stay.
Enjoy in advance!
@@chameleonunleashed
P.S. You are VERY welcome by the way 🤗
Cheers.
Mine too! I plan to visit it this year!@chameleonunleashed
Her growth keys were her values, her support system, and her patience. I’m buying the book. She inspired me to start my own teen talk show back in 2008. It lasted for a few years but was rewarding
Love this 🤎
Wowwwww amazing
Thank you for creating Teen Summit Ms. Johnson. That content had a positive influence on our generation
"Kick the Truth to the young Black youth." TEEN SUMMIT. ..yaaay. I learnt how, in the
future, the internet could be used to make college applications. ...a few years later, I did just that.
Thank you TEEN Summit.

‘They need to buy into the vision”;very rich and profound statement.
Therapist here! Thanks for the shoutout to the field!😊
About to try therapy. Wish me luck
@@KYLETISZAI Yes! welcome to the journey of healing. Sending you the warmest hug
Sheila Johnson is a treasure! This conversation ended too abruptly for me. Well done to the interviewer.
I agree!
I’m in my 60’s and starting a business, divorced from a toxic relationship. Of course no where near her financial status…but need to do something to rebuild at this point in my life ..this woman is such an inspiration.
🎉❤ you can do it. Come back here and tell us your progress in 3 years
Listen to or read her autobiography called "walk through Fire", its a fantastic memoir, much respect & kudos to Sheila Johnson, she has lived an incredible life..🙌🙌🙌
Mrs. Johnson inspires us to be a better human being. 😊She doesn’t just talk the talk she walks the walk. I highly recommend checking out her NOPSI Hotel in New Orleans. It’s absolutely gorgeous and by all means, see her painting on the wall in the lobby. You probably can still view her talk at the NOLA Book Festival on CZcams. Value added.❤
I would Love to see her Art Collection. As an Artist myself for the past 7yrs after a Stroke, have a passion for sharing my Art in Hotels someday soon. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so grateful to hear her mention the importance of therapy and how a toxic/ abusive relationship can strip you from knowing who YOU are and how GREATNESS EXISTS in you already. Healing from such a tumultuous event or series of events is pivotal. So is leaning into God to find your true self again. I was so impressed and inspired from hearing of her 3rd chapter. Now inspired to purchase her book.
this is big specially for a lot of women I believe. The moment I realized how bad relationships/friendships essentially led to a period of draining in every area of my life, I became extremely alert and treated it as an area to defend aggressively.
Madame, your demeanor is everything. Blessing ⭐🙏🏽❤
Excellent interview, very well done Maggie McGrath for your cadence and allowing Sheila Johnson the space to respond in such an eloquent manner!
My takeaways from this interview, be thorough, venture out, curate your team wisely, network and slow and steady wins the race!
Therapy 💯. I was in a very mentally abusive relationship, and small amounts of physical abuse. You have to heal and empower from within to empower and motivate outside of yourself.
This interview is GOLDEN ✨ thank you.
This is just fabulous. I love that she talks about using all the tools in her tool box to contribute to her vision. Nothing is wasted .
Mrs. Johnson thank you for providing golf clubs to the graduates of the Kennedy - that's BRILLIANT!!!
The incredibly personable and inspiring, Ms. Johnson.
This interview was so on time for me.. Thank you Ms. Johnson.
A lot was said with only "black woman" attached... most of that stuff should have "only woman" or "one of few women" attached instead! She's achieving things that not many women as a whole and even some men haven't achieved, regardless of race. Her level of excellence and success is high in several comparative categories.
I thought I was the only one to notice that.
Thank you Ms. Johnson for speaking from the heart!
I enjoyed this interview. I also appreciate the woman who is interviewing. She did a great job .
Wow I'm so glad I found this woman! #blackgirlmagic
Don’t you just love it when the Universe connects you to good Souls?
Sheila Johnson's insights are incredibly valuable for any entrepreneur.
Thanks for interviewing her, She shared some great advice!
Um, she's been a billionaire for around 20 years innit?
This is a great interview, thank you!
I needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing this.❤
Exactly 👍🏽
I like your style Sheila, great conversation. Oh and thank you for Teen Summit, I didn't know that was your doing.
Wooing! This interview changed my life and way of thinking from now on. Thank you!
Ms Sheila Johnson you are a smart and wonderful person. I can identify with you. Your words are very impressive and inspirational. I am in my 50 yrs. You give me hope.
What an inspirational woman! And I love how she talked so openly about having been in an abusive relationship whether that be professional or personal. I can SO relate to that (but not yet the Billions!) and it has inspired me to build a stronger, financially independent and more powerful (and peaceful) life, post-abuse
Here here, been there done that. It makes you stronger.
Honest
Authentic
Respectful
Patient
•Also communicate,
• Be careful who you hire.
Hire slowly
Fire Fast
•Have patience in how to grow the company and how to make it last.
•Identify ages [and or demographics] that you want to hit.
•Stick to the value system
Hire people smarter than you [but don’t let them usurp]
•Have the power of finance
•Know what you want and execute
•Hone your instinct and get advice as well
I think the p was passion.
This is one helluva interview....so much value...
Great interviewer, she did her homework and held space! Felt the passion, thank you
Baby..... it almost brings me to tears. Like sis REALLY ate that homework up. Like the fact that you can tell she really did her research and made an effort to name Ms. Johnsons personal challenges and incredible feats explicitly as a Black Woman was incredible! We love a skilled professional round here!
A living legend. My daughter said just yesterday she wants to be a billionaire so it's great to have models to show her
so inspirational !!! Sheila is a person to look up to! thank you
Thank you guys for this kind of interviews , because it's teaching me a lot.
I'm confused. She said her "co-founder"? But when I hear Bob Johnson, he has told the story as if he had founded the company for the last 30 years. What's really going on here? She now calls it a "toxic relationship." Interesting dynamics here, for sure. Great interview, by the way.
She left Bob with less than half. Ran off with the judge over her divorce case. Can’t make this up. She shouldn’t be highlighted just for a big stolen bank account.
I studied them for a while. From my understanding, she wasn't the co-founder. She was married to the founder and worked at the company. She helped her husband, but wasn't co-founder. There is a difference.
Listen to her interview with the DC public library about her book, read the book, or even Bob’s Wikipedia. She is a cofounder and it is not disputed. BET was founded in 1980-a time when not many black women were not respected in business (and still aren’t) and she also endured so much in her relationship with Bob (none of which he denies…) Let’s please give her the respect she deserves.
@@Adc8622 Bob was the real founder. She was merely his wife/best-friend. If you read about Bob's background, he was the one who acquired the requisite media experience and business contacts to make it happen. Sheila was merely along from the ride and a beneficiary.
@@Adc8622she didn’t co-found anything. She owes everything to Bob Johnson.
Definitely inspiring and clearly noted.
Thank you for the transparency Ms. Sheila 🙌🏾
One of my favorite interviews ever. So inspiring and real.
Bravo! I can't wait to do a deep dive into her book and learn more about Sheila Johnson. PIONEER!
Great conversation! My take away also is to speak up! Optimize your financial power.
Yes!! This interview was awesome!
Great interview! Thank you to the host and thank you to Ms.Johnson for the inspiration❤😊
She is phenomenal. I want to read her book now. It's good she learned to be strong and follow up and buy or invest in companies.
I’m loving 🥰 these series. VERY inspiring. Thank you 😊
agreed

The Senior editor did a phenomenal job beautiful interview and presentation.

Shelia, you are amazing inspiring black woman. I didn’t know anything about you. Until I watched you on Forbes today. Brilliantly pushed the boundaries in every field of her own passion and interest. With such a wealth of balanced knowledge and insight - you just want to listen to her and learn from her ❤ Truly Wonderful- Keep Sowing the Seeds of Inspiration 🎉
Love this 🎯✨🚨♥️
Amazing interview! 👍
This was one of the best interviews I've ever watched
This was powerful and I am grateful that this was shared. I love the grace that you have
She’s so inspiring! From Maywood, IL 😭 I’m from Bellwood. Thank you for letting me see this today and learning from her experience.
Wow this was amazing. Im inspired like a mf now. Great series
Wonderful candid conversation
This was the interview that I needed to see
Amazing lady! Thank you for your brilliance!
On point!!!
This is so good! What a trailblazer!!! ❤🎉
Wow! Such an amazing interview ❤
This is such a wonderful interview ❤❤
An inspiration!❤
I hope BET is able to rediscover the integrity and principles she poured into making this company IMHO. This was very inspirational
Fabulous advice!
Great conversation. Stay strong Ms Johnson.
Excellent talk.
I so admire this woman and really enjoy reading her book.
Oh my goodness ! Truly a great interview , definitely dropped a lot of gems. I love her wisdom and honesty, truly heartfelt!❤
I find it interesting that the host mentioned that she wrote a book, never said the name of the book. The book was not even displayed on the table . And the book remains a secret. What? Why?
Loved every second of the interview and now I want to read the books 🙏😍
What an amazing interview❤
I love you Mrs.Shelia. so proud of you..
Rentless... I hope I get to meet you one day .
Your book was so good❤❤❤❤
This is incredible thank you for this❤
Thank you Mrs. Johnson, for sharing your wisdom, you are a very gracious lady and super inspiring ❤❤❤!
First I would like to congratulate you Mrs. Johnson! Your video kept coming up on my feed, and I was immediately drawn to your video. I’d hope to meet you one day, and I’d hope that you would be able to possible mentor/coach me on my way into entrepreneurship. I pray for many blessings for you and those who interviewed you, and thank you for allowing us all to glean from advice, your authenticity, and your humble beginnings. And God bless everyone on the line here! 🙏💜
The Bob and Sheila Johnson divorce settlement is a case study as to precisely why prenups are so important in our modern divorce-happy society. Her payout should've been something like 50 million, not 500 million 🤦♂
So it wasn’t hard work that made her a billionaire?
@@tburton2877 If only by hard work you mean preparing Bob's dinner and ironing Bob's clothes every morning so he could focus on making money moves for his family!
FYI: she gave him the money to help start the company ! She was also as you stated a supportive wife ❤
@@jimfab2655highlight "so he could focus on making money moves " Her hubby wouldn't be as successful without her. Kudos to the Johnson!!! All hail the Queen
@@elleking7619 FYI: YOU'RE WRONG. SHE DID NOT. She was a merely a broke school teacher when her husband started BET. The source funding to launch the network was a white man (John Malone) who was Bob's business acquaintance. Sheila, from a business standpoint, was completely irrelevant.
I am happy 😁 and grateful to God for being a Millionaire today ❤️🙏😮 and helping the Orphans, Needy and homeless 😮❤😊.
I am happy 😁 and grateful to God for Sheila the Billionaire 💸😮❤. Thanks for sharing this powerful message 🙏.
I am happy 😁 and grateful to God for everything ❤️😮😊.
Thank you God 🙏.
I am happy 😁 and grateful to God for being connected to my destiny helpers and connectors today in the Name of Jesus Christ 🙏.
Awesome 👍.
Amen and Hallelujah! 🙏🙌 🙏❤️💯
Amen 🙏
All I can say after this interview is Wow!❤
Great ❤❤❤❤
Truly life changing.
Motivational interview so far
One Love
