Van Jones On Jeff Bezos's $100 Million Grant, Leaving Obama White House, & Changing Prison System

[@donovanhaley9853]

This interview was SO important! Might be one of the best interviews I’ve seen from EYL! The entire culture needs to take time out and listen to this one!

[@StLouis83]

My vote goes where this guy interest is, and that's us!!!!

[@Unbothered.design]

Indeed!

[@corymickels]

Agreed.

[@mr_lozano]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Tesla99]

When he said *im worthy*, that was deep on another level….. go accomplish brother! 💪🏽

[@StelynbO]

Extremely. It reminded me of a simple solution my grandma always gives: JUST LOVE. No love more needed than of self! You are worthy too; continued prayers for strength and clarity in your accomplishments 🙏

[@irismartin6905]

That was deep spoke volumes

[@natashajohnson2258]

"Why can't we own the future?" We're Worthy🙌🏾 Powerful Interview!

[@johnpaulkane6153]

What do you mean, own the future. ?? From what I'm seeing the Future belongs to China.because the United States is watering down education. And putting people in positions of power who are not qualified. Regardless of color the Chinese are very business-oriented. The future belongs to them if the United States keeps going on its erratic course. Instead of teaching math science in school, they're talking about little boys cutting their peckers off and putting on dresses United States has turned into the Twilight Zone madness. Our youth are arrogant and disrespectful. They won't put up with that when they take over in the future You don't see them out. Gang banging hanging out taking drugs, They're very focused in on their children's education. George Washington would be disappointed in the United States, our greatest President.

[@TW-ek2kt]

As a therapist, I absolutely loved this interview but more importantly his responses. It’s so important for us to do the our self work so that when the real opportunity come we are ready and feel confident to do it. We have to understand that it starts with your mindset because it’s your mindset that can also cause you to lose any great opportunities that may come your way due to impostor syndrome, anxiety, or unresolved trauma. As you can see in this interview, his foundation was solid. That foundation was the tenacity and role model of his father. And having his emotional self healed.‼️❣️🚨

[@craiggoodman7]

Foundation, resolve, the adherence and pursuit for truth is what Sir Van Jones is all about! He is a sublimely brilliant unique soul... I am Gobsmacked!

[@ricoharris3514]

Great Interview full of valuable gems. As a 24 yo black male coming from a poverty stricken environment, this is truly inspiring and keeps me hopeful for our future as a culture keep up the amazing work EYL 💪🏽

[@otisthomas6286]

I keep replaying this interview, towards the end I can feel his emotional pain when he thought he wasn’t good enough in his father’s eyes, he used that to achieve his goals.

[@stephenanthony5923]

This is one of the best and most mind blowing interviews I've seen in a long time. Shout out Van Jones and EYL for capturing this magic

[@livenlight]

This was such an important conversation and I’m so glad you allowed us to listen in. I love the questions you guys ask, and the insights from Mr. Jones. So inspiring and he articulated whatI’ve been feeling for quite sometime. You guys are doing an incredible job for our culture and communities. ❤️

[@foxyglobetrotta5794]

I forwarded this interview to my close circle. This was so deep on a whole other level. Van is an amazing brother and troy and Rashad got him to really open up and go to a real place. This is probably one of The Best interviews I've seen on this platform.

[@aaronrobert7785]

This was an amazing interview. Never been much into politics, but wow the way he explain black communities having a targeted industry and having lobbyists was spot on.

[@dainnathompson5807]

I honestly have a new mindset on my mission after this interview! This is the first EYL interview I just did not want to end!!! Many blessings to Mr. Jones

[@angelagrant320]

This is an amazing episode. Mr. Jones was so honest and vulnerable and I have a lot of respect for him and the work he’s doing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PearsonParty]

OUTSTANDING CONVERSATION!!!! This is why I keep following EYL and IAN and 19KEYS...conscious conversations with actionable intelligence. THIS is the way...

[@sharonmuhammad2385]

I pray you young brothers continue praying and learning.... integrity is Everything.

[@anthonyrusselljr.9912]

Y’all killed this! This just inspired and empowered me to do more for my home country Liberia. Speaking it into existence. I’ll be on here one day.

[@StLouis83]

I feel you, you got bro.

[@joeljohnson8365]

Yessir, go forth and prosper bro. 🙏🏽

[@Unbothered.design]

Such a powerful and heartfelt interview. I can feel and sense Van honesty and sincerity. May he be prosperous and successful in everything he touches!

[@farmerz97]

This was a great interview. I loved it because Van is talking about real world solutions as well as awareness. Most people talk about what the problems are. I also love the fact they talked about being politically independent. Let the politicians fight over our votes.

[@adventurousloner]

NPA, here. No Party Affiliation. Independents all the way.

[@kiiiingsley_]

I really appreciate his vulnerability throughout this entire interview. It’s a great model for young men especially African American men to see and be inspired by.

[@02nupe]

This is HIGH LEVEL, QUALITY, Thought provoking content!!!

[@thebiggest2241]

I see why Troy said what he said about this episode 🔥🔥🤯 this was a head busta

[@02nupe]

INCREDIBLE CONTENT !!!!

[@DestinyHarp]

Thanks!

[@judithsmith6588]

This is so powerful that I am in tears. This needs to be listened to a few times so it could be absorbed and utilized. Thank you brothers

[@Favourbbe-wh1kx]

Life is short, so make the most of it! Embrace every experience, whether sweet or bitter, and don't waste time complaining. Remember, hard work is the key to success, and it's more powerful than luck. If you agree, show your support.

[@Wilso492]

Realistically, many young people don't have that level of disposable income at age 25 due to student loan commitments or internships, which means a higher annual commitment will be required at a later.

[@RichardJohnson-tf4fg]

We're all feeling the impact of these high prices, but at least we can afford them. I feel really bad for those who can't meet their basic needs.

[@Roseli325yfir-yf]

Now imagine how difficult it is to meet those simple needs if income is limited to a monthly Social Security check. Unfortunately, millions of people now face that life-sobering challenge because they could not set and address their investment goals earlier in life.

[@Samuelregional..782]

I truly sympathize with people with disabilities who aren't receiving help from anybody. Thank you, Anna chitidze seeing my $5,000 investments growing.

[@Gracelove-qo9ee]

WOW! You just mentioned Anna chitidze Indeed, that woman has been an incredible mentor to me, imparting a deep understanding of the economy that I wish college had provided.

[@Mrmack239]

Stellar interview. I’m glad God granted him the opportunity to be in those rooms. Now he’s showing us what’s behind the curtain. “The future is worth fighting for, the future hasn’t been written.”- Van Jones

[@torcassiobethel7542]

22:30 is so powerful!

[@traciejennings2390]

Amazing content. The power of networking is KEY. The women behind the scenes part got me.

[@BeyBrightOfficial]

See.. Van Jones is now seeing the light and speaking truth. He’s understanding what Dr. Claude Anderson has been saying for 50 years about the importance of economic power and development over politics. The Black community is hustling backwards! 😢

[@StelynbO]

This man been shaking my soul since college (SJSU 09) , THAT OPENING CLIP IS THE PROOF! Great content

[@ramonasmile12]

One your best,EYL. I had to share this one many times over! Looking forward to the 10 year anniversary of EYL. This interview took me into the future. More to do! Thank you all very much. ❤

[@emayhand]

The last 15 minutes of this interview was epic! So much I can relate to.

[@RYSEMagazine]

This one was one of the BEST! Real nuggets here. From the strategy to the knowledge he dropped regarding the mental health of Black Men towards the end. #powerful

[@yemiscool]

“Climbing up institutions that are crumbling” … definitely a key perspective here. Take advantage of this current industrial wave

[@saharagold7078]

I am soo happy that you guys are getting the recognition from the black community. You guys are doing such a great job and your questions are so relatable and easy answer when asked.

[@adesuaodihirin6688]

Wow... Mr Jones mentioned "how being around Mr Smith made him a better Person" and also how just being in the Room with the Billionaires and the way they think" That was mind blowing... Thank you Gentlemen so very much

[@jasmynmedia5649]

Great interview!! Two men who definitely changed my perspective was Claud Anderson and George Fraser. And I think Van spoke to those perspectives. His views on tech and finance is on par with Claud Anderson's book PowerNomics. And I definitely agree with Van take on voting. We need to be more economically strategic with our issues and interests. George Fraser once said the laws in this country were written for landowners and businesses owners. Without either you have no equity. Having collective equity would definitely change a lot.

[@LloydAlmighty]

Powerful Conversation here 🔥

[@LaDuBish]

Id have to agree with this being one of the best interviews on EYL!! yall are in a league of yall own with this one and many others, thank you for changing my life personally bro!!! my success is greatly because of this channels mentorship!!! ❤

[@legendofpartyio911]

I love how they just let people speak their truth. Been promoting EYL but this is my first full episode and this is epic next to that Robert Smith interview. Did the Landmark Forum earlier this year!

[@stanleygallman7800]

Wow I'll just say give us more programs like this one which is not only motivating this program I hope will inspire millions more.😊

[@stephenfusong781]

This is one of the best podcasts in have come across, guys keep up

[@eauanbrown8074]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen... This was amazing!!!

[@merlinemcallister3756]

Wow!Van Jones an Icon,a Monument,A Humanist,How I admire this man's sensitivity and action when it comes to improving our criminal justice system.He not only talks the talk but aĺso " walks the walk" cliche I learned wayy back in "Tha da"

[@rhondawoodhouse5508]

GENUINELY APPRECIATE THIS SESSION WHICH KEPT MY ATTENTION TO THE VERY VERY END WITHOUT SPEEDING UP THE VOICES! PRICELESS!

[@melvincampbell9608]

Van Jones!!!!!! Much Respect!

[@lorenzomclenan2964]

S/o to Dr. Claude Anderson. I’ve got a new respect for Van Jones

[@mursemcgee]

Very deep conversation. So many gems! 💎 💎

[@Iamsoul4real]

Powerful experience fellas! Appreciate it 🙏🏾💯🤙🏾

[@theworldoftaj]

This is activism in action and I love the aspect of the four pillars. There’s much work to be done but this definitely is a huge step forward. Thank you all for the reminder that’s it’s so much bigger than our individual experience, and that’s a great motivator to endure the pain and look past it. And thank y’all for continuing to be a revolutionary example 🙏🏾

[@SpoileralertGMA47]

I’m only 27 minutes in and I am blown away! Soooo much to unpack here THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!!

[@daniellepint]

I was listening to the audio but I had to pause & come to KZbin to see his body language when he expressed the relationship with his father. While I am thankful for his work, one of the biggest things that stood out to me was earlier in the podcast - in regard to how the billionaire meeting and outcome came about, he stated he was good with himself and he was honest about his resignation, etc. That is so important for black people and am emphasis in business. Little will come out of survival mode but to have the stride and determination to do the work for yourself & then pour it into your passion is key. So happy he expounded on this.

[@YourFavoritePO]

Had to watch this interview twice!! Thanks Mr. Jones. Needed this!

[@mr.j410]

Appreciate yall

[@eldon2308]

Needed to see this✊🏾

[@sjones2088]

This was an awesome interview! I've been a Van Jones fan since his Obama WH role and was always looking to hear his views thereafter. I would love to meet him one day. I feel we are kindred spirits: of faith, political/ special interests passions, our birthdays-- same day-- our last Name! I could listen to this all day. Thank you for my first introduction to your podcast. I had never heard of you before seeing this feed. Blessings!

[@sibonisso]

Very important interview. So so much to learn from these conversations with people like Van Jones. This is a hall of fame type of interview/conversation.🙏🏿

[@shumuelofosu-koranteng9801]

This is EASILY top 3 interviews on this show

[@Easyavesolutions]

Incredible interview. Thank you

[@jasmynmedia5649]

I also understood what Van was saying when it comes to a Super PAC for interests vs issues. The money that generates from the issues will eventually combat the issues. Exactly what happened with his conversation with Bezos. I also saw this same perspective when Jay-Z did the deal with the NFL. People were upset but he was also able to get the social work behind the scenes going.

[@kilorparkes]

Great interview! Love your honesty Van. You are worthy bro.

[@annetteescoffery6764]

THANK YOU! Extremely informative... Awesome content. I am INSPIRED to look more into the power and politics behind the Finance, Tech and Media industury. It DEFINITELY opened my eyes to the big benefits of owning a business.

[@dr.aliadixonnursepractitio6473]

This shows you the power of a black family and having a black father in the home! I’m Gen X too 1974 and my parents are Baby Boomers and my dad has a lot of wisdom and his work ethics are impeccable..between my dad, my uncles and now my 2 brothers I have seen and grew up with real alpha masculine high value black men who protect provide and lead..This conversation is beyond so Powerful I left 2 comments 😫🥴🙏🏿❤️

[@oceancity5776]

Legendary

[@goodgain1]

This was one of the best interviews. Watched it twice

[@Tony-ku5oq]

Wow, one of the best episodes ever! Critical assignment!

[@Kavoig]

This video so powerful I gotta watch it multiple times to make sure I comprehend everything

[@blackbutmild1]

This was a great one. Thank you for sharing. THANK YOU!!🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@916krishan]

This was a great interview!

[@gideon7177]

“I’m going to build a set of business interests to fight the other business interests, and then use the government (politics) to support my business over theirs.” He gets it. Changing laws can only do so much. The real power is in using capital to begin leveling the economic playing field. And actually deploying it where it will make a difference! Good interview

[@maalikhoward3776]

Nipsey and Van would’ve been unstoppable

[@HormiguitaAnt]

Mr. Jones , has my respect !

[@el-hajjharris571]

He needs to read black labor white wealth and powernomics

[@unitedcrypto]

the comment I was looking for

[@kayiness]

Went from feeling inspired to depressed to inspired again watching this. To think this much energy and capital has to go into just undoing the damage first before we can actually build something is truly eye opening. I'm here for the fight though.

[@LucasMcCain97]

25 minutes in and this guys saying everything that’s been on my mind. I need to follow him💯💯

[@brandonq5493]

Man…. I finished this episode truly inspired. Wow.👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks for bringing Vance on. 1000% need to run this back next year.
