Trinity Jagdeo is a CEO, 5X-published author, advocate, motivational speaker, AND just 22 years old. After learning of the lack of representation there is in the media for people with disabilities– through her best friend Alexus's experiences– Trinity decided to take matters into her own hands, and create that representation herself. She has published 5 children's books that each center around a superhero with a certain disability, and each character is based off of a real child who lives with it– sharing their struggles, but more importantly, their incredible strength and powers. Trinity and her work have been featured in Forbes and on The Today Show– just to name a few. She is also the founder and CEO of From We Can't to We Can, which raises awareness and funding for families of children with disabilities. She and Kylie have a conversation about the substantial difference that representation in the media can make for a group of people, balancing life being young and professional, and how we can all be a little bit more compassionate in our day to day lives.

Alexiou Gibson is the founder and CEO of The Transformation Factory: A company that provides the tools to help people come their “2.0 version,” or the best version of themselves. Its sea moss products, that Alexiou started making in his kitchen during CoVid to help boost his grandmother’s, and local nurses’, immune systems, rank in millions in sales every year, and the business is only growing. In 2022, Alexiou and his sea moss was featured on Shark Tank, and (spoiler!) he ended up signing a deal with Mark Cuban AND Kevin Hart– in what is the show’s most viewed episode, to date. Becoming the healthiest version of yourself is also a personal topic for Gibson: After being told, at the age of 21, that he would not live to see 30, Alexiou lost 300 pounds, and completely changed his lifestyle. Now, he’s living the dream, and hustling every day to keep increasing his potential. Side note: He’s also a retired NASA scientist. This episode features an incredible story, and also shares tons of tips for people looking to grow their own businesses, straight from the voice of someone’s whose life has completely changed in the past 3 years.

Madison Jantzen is a full-time Social Media Marketer and Content Creator. Up until earlier this year, however, she was a kindergarten teacher. Madison shared her teacher tips, tricks, and bubbly personality on TikTok, and grew a large, dedicated following. This platform, however, caused turmoil in her career and day-to-day life, with people– anonymously– contacting her employers with the faults that they were finding in her (trust me) nothing but positive, and professional, content. This situation left Madison with a very difficult choice: To stay at her steady job, but let go of the brand and name that she had built for herself, or to say goodbye to the career she had worked for– and dreamed of– for her entire life, in order to fulfill a bigger purpose. Her story is one of knowing your worth, finding places where you are valued, trusting in yourself, allowing your identity to change as your life does, and seeing just how many people you can help on your rise to the top– and it’s only just beginning.
