I agree with you.

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.

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.

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.

Madame, your demeanor is everything. Blessing ⭐🙏🏽❤

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 interview is GOLDEN ✨ thank you.

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.

Amazing interview. Such great insights on management, leadership and entrepreneurial opportunity.

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.

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.
