Becoming the woman I always saw in flashes… soft, strong, a little edgy, a little holy. One chapter, one pivot, one brave moment at a time. Quinter’s never quit. I’m here to live the fullest version of the life. Believe it. Build it. Bank it.

(Told like I’m texting a friend, because that’s always been my vibe.)

Okay babe… grab a coffee, a matcha, or whatever you sip when you want to feel cute and productive, because I’m about to tell you the REAL story.

Not the polished Instagram version.

Not the “LinkedIn-approved” version.

The actual truth.

Because I didn’t “fall into” being a spokesperson, a brand ambassador, an ads strategist, or a mom CEO.
I built this life through the wildest, most random, most divine little steps that ALL ended up making sense later. Because when you see the full picture, you’ll realize…
I BUILT it.
Piece by piece.
Gig by gig.
Connection by connection.

If you’ve ever wondered how I do so many things, or how YOU can create a multi-hyphenate life too… this one’s for you.

Let’s start at the beginning…

⭐️ Part 1: Before influencers existed… I was already one.

My New Times Magazine cover, James Bond style…July 2010

Everything started when I left the farm I grew up on in TX to move to AZ with one bag of clothes in the trunk of my Camaro. My papa rode with me for the route that changed the trajectory of my life. When I loved to AZ I was 18 years old. While nothing was handed to me, my uncle did give me a tour of Arizona State University and hooked me up with a interview at Southern Wine & Spirits in Arizona. I had to land the part once the dot was connected.

That one intro turned into:

✨ Only the Best Models
✨ EPI Models
✨ CPC Marketing (hello Coca-Cola brands)
✨ Odwalla
✨ Caribou Coffee
✨ Celebrity golf tournaments
✨ Full Throttle Energy promotions
✨ Crossed paths with people like Matt Leinart, Kurt Warner, Neil Rackers, SHAQ, Charles Barkley, and Wayne Gretzky — just to name a few.
I have so many funny behind-the-scenes stories, but I’ll save those for another time so I don’t sound like I’m name-dropping. 😅
✨ Nascar events
✨ Toyota rep
✨ Barrett-Jackson modeling
✨ Hotel Valley Ho liquor promotions
✨ Hornitos
✨ Sauza
✨ Sailor Jerry
✨ Bud Light
✨ Pretty much every fun brand in Arizona
✨ Even a stint in a Flo Rida music video

And YES — the craziest one of all…

✨ I was painted head-to-toe gold for the New Times Magazine cover, James Bond style…
with a billboard of MY FACE on the freeway.
And the wildest part? My college boyfriend had just cheated on me — so breaking up with him and knowing he had to see my golden face everywhere was the most accidental glow-up revenge ever. 😂💅✨

No big deal, right? 😂

But back then, we didn’t have Instagram to document all of this.

Sometimes I wish we did.
But honestly?
I think the mystery added to the magic.

⭐️ Part 2: The commercial + SAG era that still lives in my heart

Jenna on Homicide Hunter: Season 5 Episode 10 Joe Kenda

When I was 19, I did a national commercial for Quest Communications.

I was the girl who said:
“Come on… get in the loop!”

That one job made me SAG-eligible.

After that, I acted in a few things, including appearing as a news anchor on Joe Kenda: Homicide Hunter.
I took classes.
I auditioned.
I lived for it.

And I’ll be honest with you right here:
✨ I STILL want an agent again.
✨ After I drop these 20 MOMBOD lbs and feel my strongest.
✨ Not because I need acting…
but because it’s FUN and it’s a part of ME.

This part of my journey didn’t disappear… it evolved.

⭐️ Part 3: Then life took a corporate-business turn… and I didn’t see it coming.

Screenshot

This is the part most people don’t know about me.

I actually discovered the Rally Fighter — that famous off-road beast (think Transformer Movies)— at a gas station. I saw a girl driving it and instantly had questions. And not just any girl… she was a Harvard grad, a Marine, and fast forward to today, the owner of Ranch Road Boots. Total powerhouse.

She told me she worked at Local Motors, and in true Jenna fashion, I did what I always do best:
I reached out directly to the CEO.
Because why not? People are people. I’ve never been scared of a conversation.

I basically said something like,
“Y’all could market this better and I can create the videos.”

I loved four-wheelers, I could drive the vehicles, and I think I even pitched a few ideas for free because it was 2010, the economy was trash, and nobody was getting hired.

…so they hired me.
True story.

I ended up becoming the Executive Assistant to the CEO — who, by the way, graduated from Harvard AND Princeton.

From 2010–2015 at Local Motors I:

helped launch the world’s first 3D-printed car factory
opened multiple brick-and-mortar retail stores
worked on tech, engineering, and automotive development
sat inside rooms I barely understood at the time
learned how REAL companies ran
Worked on projects with GE, Microsoft, Darpa, The President of the United States, BMW, Dominio’s Pizza, Makerbot, Oak Ridge National Lab, Autodesk, Cincinnati Printers, University of TN and more…

And out of that experience?

✨ POKITBOSS was born.
My app idea.
My Startup Weekend WIN.
My first-ever “CEO moment.”

And today?
POKITBOSS is my ads and automation agency under my personal brand, Jenna Quinter.

Full-circle magic.

⭐️ Part 4: My New York dream era (this one feels like a movie)

Honored that Steven Mandis hired me from LinkedIn. A reminder that showing up online with integrity and intention opens doors you don’t even know exist yet.

I worked for a financial company from NYC — but our office was in Florida. Honored that Steven Mandis hired me from LinkedIn. A reminder that showing up online with integrity and intention opens doors you don’t even know exist yet.

I was the marketing manager, traveling to trade shows, representing the brand at speaking events, and basically living my “corporate girl in the clouds” dream.

I even named my first blog Top Floor Corner Office because I felt like I finally “made it.”

It was short-lived…
but I needed it.
It showed me who I could be.

⭐️ Part 5: Cars, cars, cars — and Grant Cardone energy

I WON GRANT CARDONE’S CAPTION CONTEST

After years in automotive, I decided to get into car sales.

Yup — walked in, got the job, and started selling.

I had:

already worked with 3D-printed cars
launched dealerships
worked for Tesla (reached out to 5 Elon Musk email addresses to land that job)
worked for Audi

So selling came naturally.

But then 2020 happened.
The world changed.
Everything paused.

And right there in the middle of chaos…

I got married.
I became a mama in 2022.
And I stepped into the truest version of myself yet.

⭐️ Part 6: Social media, take two… and the rebirth of my online brand

I started Instagram in 2014
…then deleted it. 😭

My husband rebuilt my page in 2017, and we grew it through shoutouts.

Later, TikTok blew up from a dancing video (sex sells, whatever).
But truthfully?

I’ve always been BUSINESS first.

I’ve never relied only on beauty.
Mostly because I was a cute little dork growing up 😂
so I developed personality, skills, confidence, intuition, and ambition early.

And yes — I still struggle with leading with “beauty.”
But beauty isn’t a gimmick.

It’s a tool when used with purpose.

Before I talk about my “brand ambassador era,” I HAVE to tell you about the moment I met Amy Lacey — because it still feels like something straight out of a divine timing movie scene.

I met Amy at one of Sandi Glandt’s events.
We literally gravitated toward each other instantly — like our energy just matched.
We took a selfie together without even knowing why it felt so natural.

At that moment, I honestly had no idea of her background.
I didn’t know she founded the cauliflower pizza crust brand that went viral…
I didn’t know she sold that company for millions…
I didn’t know she was a powerhouse entrepreneur women admire.

But once I Googled her, something clicked.
I realized I had been supposed to meet her a few times before — because she had spoken at other events I was supposed to attend.
I missed those events, but somehow, God brought her straight to me this time.
Divine meeting energy.

And get this…

Amy was actually the first podcast I was ever invited onto.
A full-circle moment.

Then recently, she had her private driver bring her to MY HOUSE to drop off promo items for Sandi’s event.
We sat in my living room, she signed her cookbooks right there on my couch, and I did an impromptu interview with her on the spot.

If you want me to upload that interview, comment below and vote — because it’s SO good.

⭐️ Part 7: My brand ambassador + spokesperson era (the return)

Jenna Quinter, Kelly Roach, & Sandi Glandt at Called to Lead 2025

All those years of:

talking to strangers
representing brands
traveling
being on camera
selling
networking
pitching
performing
learning consumer psychology

…created the PERFECT foundation for where I am now.

Recently, I worked as a paid spokesperson and booth brand ambassador at the
✨ Called To Lead Event
with Sandi Glandt and Kelly Roach.

JENNA QUINTER, SANDI GLANDT, & AMANDA MAWER PEP TALK BEFORE OUR CONFIDENCE AND CHARITY EVENT

It felt like everything in my life merged together:
The promo girl + the corporate girl + the acting girl + the car girl + the mom + the strategist…

They finally became ONE woman.

⭐️ Part 8: My Soursop era (and how YOU can join me)

Another full-circle blessing in my life right now is Soursop — which also happens to be Amy Lacey’s new “brand baby.”
This brand represents everything I love:

✨ wellness & beauty
✨ clean energy
✨ community
✨ purpose
✨ woman-founded power

I use it every day and I’m proud to be an ambassador for them.

And I’m not gatekeeping this opportunity.

Soursop has become one of my favorite brands — not in a “network marketing” way, but in the way you fall in love with a real lifestyle brand like Nike, Celsius, or Poppi.
It’s founded by women, built on real ingredients, and backed by purpose.

I’m an ambassador because I genuinely use it every day — not because of some downline structure (they are NOT an MLM), but because it’s a brand I believe in.

And since so many of you ask me about it, here are the links:

If you’ve been wanting to align with a brand that feels modern, fresh, and genuinely good for you — Soursop might be your new favorite thing.

⭐️ Part 9: How I do all this as a mom (the realest part)

Motherhood softened me…
but it also made me SO much stronger.

I built every part of this business:

during naps
in the car
while cooking
on walks
during late nights
after meltdowns
between daycare drop-offs
while healing childhood wounds
while figuring out marriage
while learning what it means to be a woman again

You don’t need 8-hour workdays.
You need 20 seconds of courage and one task a day.

I’m living proof.

⭐️ Part 10: How YOU can become a brand ambassador, spokesperson, or multi-hyphenate too

Here’s the truth no one online wants to say:

You don’t need the “perfect life.”
You need presence.

Start here:

💗 1. Show up like you belong.

Not because of your following — because of your VALUE. Always bring value, you only need to be one chapter ahead of someone to be an expert.. crazy right??

💗 2. Teach what you know.

People don’t connect to perfection — they connect to practical, simple, emotional wisdom.
KISS: Keep it simple, stupid.
Niche to get rich.
If you’re ever unsure what to teach, here’s my secret:
Ask your friends,
“If you could pick my brain, what would you want to learn from me?”
Whatever they say?
That’s what people actually want from you.
Start right there.

💗 3. Align with brands you actually love.

That’s how long-term partnerships start.
And honestly? Don’t be afraid to reach out directly to CEOs or message brands yourself.
People forget brands are run by humans. Humans respond to confidence.

One genius idea I love:
✨ Mail your birthday invites to brands.
I swear someone will write you back, send you promo, or at the very least notice you.

Tag the businesses you love.
Make reviews about your favorite products.
Share what you actually use in your real life.

All you need is ONE listener — even if it’s your mama.
Everyone starts at zero.
Don’t give up.

💗 4. Share your story.

Your story is your brand. Your name is a brand. If you always wanted to start a business, start with your name. Buy the domain for your first and last name and BAM.. Your business is born! (Get the LLC)

💗 5. Take tiny brave steps daily.

Small moves create big opportunities.

You’re one bold moment away from your next life chapter.

✨ More TikTok LIVES

✨ Growing Self Made Babes™

By the way, I finished writing this and uploading the photos at 1:23am. If you can wake up early or stay up late to work on something you love then that is your passion. Don’t ignore the voice in your head when inspiration hits.
