Lead Yourself First: Jazmyn Lopez on the Journey From Corporate to Founder
Jazmyn Lopez was the first in her immediate family to earn a bachelor's degree. It took 6.5 years for her to work her way through school as an admin, sales clerk, waitress and nanny (sometimes all at once). In the next 6.5 years, she climbed from an entry-level agency role to an enterprise strategist only to be let go under a new leader. She decided then and there, she would be in charge of her own success. Eight months earlier, she had quietly filed the LLC for her own company, unknowingly preparing for that exact moment. In this episode of Inspire More Life, host Jonathan Wells sits down with founder and growth strategist Jazmyn Lopez, who has spent nearly four years helping creative entrepreneurs grow with the strategy of big business. She shares how one Instagram message became her first client, why she has never done work for free, and how she took major risks while betting on herself, and won every time. Then the conversation goes deeper. Jazmyn speaks openly about trauma, grief, depression, and therapy, and the daily gratitude journal that rewired the way she sees her story. She explains why she refuses to be a victim of her past, and how the hardest seasons of her life became the source of her strength as a strategist. In this episode: • Why security comes from yourself, not a job • Rejection as redirection • Pricing with confidence and never negotiating your value • Radical self-awareness and the anti-victim mentality • Why everyone is a leader, and why discipline is devotion Jazmyn closes with what Inspire More Life means to her: going after the whole thing, living fully and authentically, and learning to be comfortable with your own light.
