The Age of Cap: Is Black Wealth About Legacy or Clout?

Everybody online is a millionaire mentor now—but how much of it is real? In this episode, Angelo Hopson unpacks the growing culture of “financial capping” in the digital age, where viral Black wealth gurus and self-proclaimed serial entrepreneurs preach strategies they didn’t actually use to build their success.

This episode asks a hard question: Are we building real wealth for the next generation or just performing success for the timeline?
