    Wasn't long enough lol I remember when I attended one of his talks, he would always say, "All you need to know in business is to know how to keep your costs low and your revenues up." Simplistic yet effective.

    His ex wife, Sheila Johnson is likewise amazing charismatic black woman billionaire with kind heart! Big up for Reggie Lewis- the very first Black Billionaire.

      ​@@blakealboyd Correct them for what? Reginald lewis was never a billionaire. His company was worth a billion dollars NOT him. He was only worth $400 million

    Great interview. I read Bob Johnson autobiography “The Billion Dollar BET: Robert Johnson and the Inside Story of Black Entertainment Television” many years ago. He is a legend.

    Props to Bob Johnson for speaking up on the inequity in funding for black startups. And calling out the falsity in pledges vs execution.

    Disappointed that Rubenstein didn’t add more emphasis to Bob’s comments about the racial bias he faces. Seemed like that’s something Bob would’ve wanted to talk more about.

    So inspiring. Loved it. David, pls work on the sound of subsequent videos. The volume of this video is so low, I had to use a portable Bluetooth speaker, and literally place it by my ear.
