Bouncing Back After Failure: Jeanine Suah’s Secret to Resilient Growth

Welcome back to Minding Her Own Business! This week, I’m joined by Jeanine Suah, a powerhouse community builder, marketing strategist, and founder who has spent the last decade helping brands turn community into growth and revenue. Jeanine’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and a deep passion for connection, all shaped by her Jamaican immigrant roots, her early career in sociolinguistics, and her journey from founder to community leader at billion-dollar brands. Today, she’s building once again, combining her love of community, productivity, and connectivity to support dangerously resilient founders.

In this episode, Jeanine opens up about her path from linguistics to tech, the pivotal moments that shaped her career, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. She breaks down what community really means, how to build it with intention, and why founders and businesses need to stop thinking about community as an afterthought — and start seeing it as a core driver of revenue and long-term success.

You’ll hear:

• The definition of community and why it’s more than just a buzzword.
• How community-led growth can fuel your business, even if you’re just starting out.
• The common mistakes founders make when trying to build community (and how to avoid them.)
• How Jeanine blends intuition and strategy to build spaces where people want to gather, connect, and invest.
• How to discover your own superpower, even if you’re unsure of what makes you stand out
• Why resilience, discernment, and vision are non-negotiable for founders and how to embrace them even when the path feels uncertain.

This conversation is a reminder that who you are, what you’ve been through, and the experiences you bring to the table all matter , and they’re often the key to unlocking your success. Janine’s transparency, humor, and insight make this episode a must-listen for founders, creatives, and anyone building something bigger than themselves.
