The 2025 Good Soil Forum, one of the nation’s premier gatherings
for fostering entrepreneurial success, returns to Dallas June 12-14, 2025, at the AT&T Performing Arts
Center, presented by Wells Fargo. This year, Oprah Winfrey joins T.D. Jakes for a one-on-one fireside
chat, as a powerhouse lineup of business icons are featured throughout the event–including Founder,
Chairman, and CEO of Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant; fashion designer and founder of Fear of
God, Jerry Lorenzo; financial educator, Wallstreet Trapper; CEO and founder of Camille Rose, Janell
Stephens and entrepreneur and TV host, Mahisha Dellinger. The Forum's convergence of minds and
missions champions a business ecosystem built on access to capital and sustainable growth, bringing
together visionary leaders committed to empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs.
This year’s theme, “Transformation Agenda,” is more than a discussion. It offers access to capital,
inspiring keynotes, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities. It’s a movement uniting thought
leaders, business pioneers, and innovators to break barriers, create pathways, and accelerate economic
progress for small businesses. Winfrey’s involvement reinforces the mission to equip small business
owners with the resources, capital, and connections needed to build lasting generational wealth.
