from The Hard at Work Podcast · host Ellen Whitlock Baker

Ellen talks with Jaebadiah Gardner, founder of Gardner Global, about building wealth, the importance of believing in yourself, and pushing past barriers as a Black and Latino entrepreneur. They get real about hustle culture, staying grounded, and what success looks like behind the scenes (it’s not always as pretty as it seems on the surface). If you’ve ever felt stuck, under-resourced, or underestimated, this one’s for you. A thoughtful, no-BS conversation about drive, ambition, and getting in the room where it happens—even when you don’t know anyone there.Show Links:Find Jaebadiah’s book, Believe in Yourself, here Learn more about Jaebadiah’s company, Gardner Global, and all the cool work they are doing in Seattle.Connect with Jaebadiah on LinkedIn and Instagram
