“I am honored to join the Board of The Black Effect Podcast
Network, supporting the groundbreaking vision of Charlamagne tha

underrepresented and overlooked for far too long, and I applaud the
leadership of Charlamagne, iHeart Radio’s Bob Pittman and the
entire Black Effect team in standing up this platform for Black
voices to inspire and inform each other. I’m with them 100%. They
have every opportunity to be best-in-class and transformational
platform for the culture - and for business."

Financial Education from the U.S. Department of Treasury.
In addition to joining the board, Bryant will also host a new
show for The Black Effect Podcast Network focusing on building
wealth in the Black community. Launching this summer, the new
podcast will feature Bryant’s unique brand of “Straight Talk” and
offer listeners insight into his compelling vision of building
capital – in the mental, physical, relationship and, ultimately,
financial spaces of life. More details about the podcast and the
launch date coming soon.
