It’s the most wonderful time of the year –– a brand-new episode of Voice of Leader has arrived! This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight the incredible Jenny Feterovich, a DJ, entrepreneur, and first-generation immigrant with a truly inspiring story.
In this episode, Jenny sits down with Lanisa Farnsworth to talk about her journey as a first-generation immigrant navigating the challenges of imposter syndrome and embracing a life defined by purpose and passion. From her early entrepreneurial ventures—like party promotion and learning from a failed concert—to running a production company and a gym, Jenny highlights the importance of resilience and this idea of “failing forward.”
For many of us, it’s hard to accept that failure is an inevitable part of our journey. If we go down the path of entrepreneurship, we have to expect that the road will not be smooth – though it’s often easier said than done. Rather than being defined by our failures, Jenny believes in the power of discipline and resiliency to pick yourself back up after falling.
“Execution is the only thing it takes. Execution, laser-light focus, discipline to execute,” Jenny says in a sneak peek from her conversation with Lanisa.
Jenny acknowledges that self-belief doesn’t always come easily, especially when facing challenges or doubt. She adds, “You have to be a little bit delusional in a sense to believe that you can push through.”
This mix of grit, focus, and a touch of optimism has helped Jenny turn obstacles into opportunities. Her story reminds us that success isn’t just about reaching goals—it’s about the journey, the lessons learned, and the legacy you leave behind.
Beyond her entrepreneurial ventures, Jenny shares her insights into overcoming self-doubt, staying true to your passions, and creating extraordinary experiences. She emphasizes the value of living with intention, reflecting on your impact, and infusing love and purpose into everything you do.
