The 2025 Good Soil Forum, presented by Wells Fargo, drew over 2,000 entrepreneurs and thought leaders to Dallas for a dynamic three-day event focused on empowering under capitalized business owners. Held June 12–14 at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, the forum featured keynote conversations—including a powerful fireside chat between Oprah Winfrey and Bishop T.D. Jakes—plus workshops, networking, and the $500,000 Seed Capital Pitch Competition.
Winners included Rozalynn Goodwin of Confidence by Gabbyy Goodwin (1st place, $200K), Kia-Shun Voltz of Shampoo Time (2nd place, $100K + $50K community award), and Paden Sickles of SickFit (3rd place, $75K). Speakers like John Hope Bryant, Jerry Lorenzo, and Pinky Cole Hayes shared insights on wealth-building, scaling, and leadership.
Backed by partners including Wells Fargo, Hello Alice, and the Stand Together Foundation, the Good Soil Movement continues its mission to help one million entrepreneurs reach $1M in revenue within the next decade.
