At just 22 years old, Jaiden Ryker runs a six-figure digital marketing agency with clients across 17 cities—and a team of five. But her journey from college dorm room dreams to leading a fast-growing business wasn’t easy.

In this powerful conversation, Brin’na and Jaiden dive into:

• The moment she realized she couldn’t do it all alone and the lessons learned from hiring her first team member.
• How burnout and high cortisol levels became her wake-up call to delegate and lead differently.
• The mindset shift from “I have to prove myself” to “I know my worth.”
• Turning a painful firing and dismissal from a former employer into the fuel that launched her business.
• Her “I don’t chase, I attract” philosophy—and how it’s created sustainable, aligned success without ad spend.
• Overcoming age bias and owning her authenticity as a young female entrepreneur in leadership spaces.
• Why networking with intention and building genuine relationships beats every cold DM strategy out there.

Jaiden shares the raw, real side of entrepreneurship: the long nights, the self-doubt, and the powerful rewards of staying aligned with purpose and integrity. Her story proves that success isn’t about age—it’s about energy, consistency, and self-belief.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Delegate or Drown: Growth requires trust. Leadership begins when you let others in.
• Authenticity Wins: You don’t need to “act older” to lead effectively—just own your story.
• Transform Rejection into Fuel: The words “you’ll never make it” can become your greatest motivator.
• Relationships Over Sales: Real connection will always outperform the hard pitch.
• Energy Speaks Louder Than Age: Presence, professionalism, and purpose attract the right opportunities.
• Trust Timing: Growth arrives when you’re ready for it—not when you demand it.
