Wow, this kid is amazing and so inspiring! I want to find out more about this guy and his upbringing…
Hey Madison, we share your interest! One thing we found about Jaylen is THIS post on his personal blog where he writes:
“In light of recent media attention, I’ve been so busy speaking on the company and not thanking someone who should be thanked. I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior. Without him, I would be no where. He’s given me the blessing to have the company and profound success, but to also be a motivation to others.”
