Going After What’s Yours with Kneeland Youngblood

From the ER to a billion-dollar firm, and the fight for 147 acres bought by formerly enslaved ancestors.
Going After What's Yours with Kneeland Youngblood — Money & Wealth with John Hope Bryant
Kneeland Youngblood and John Hope Bryant on Money & Wealth.

Kneeland Youngblood practiced emergency medicine. Then he launched a private equity firm that grew to a billion dollars. That alone would make for a good hour. What makes this one unforgettable is the land.

His family owns 147 acres purchased by formerly enslaved ancestors, and holding onto it took a legal battle that stretched across years. Kneeland fought it, and he is clear that the fight was never about personal gain. It was about protecting a legacy and making sure the next generation inherits more than a story.

We get into how private equity really works and how a physician learned to speak the language of capital. We talk about purpose, about patience, and about the difference between having a career and building generational wealth. And we talk about what it means to go after what is yours when the system would rather you let it go.

Kneeland is a master class in a person. Do not miss this.
