I'm Jeni Bukolt – brand strategist, GSD Maven, and radically candid speaker for people ready to stop dreaming and start doing.
I didn’t build a 7-figure brand by guessing. I got clear on what I wanted, who I served, and how I lead — and that changed everything. Now, I help people get unstuck to clarify their vision, own their voice, and become Mavens who lead with clarity and take bold action.
Around here, a Maven is a disruptor. A change maker. A visionary achiever with a bias for action. They don’t wait for permission — they get sh*t done.
The Maven Mindset is the foundation of everything I do.
It’s a way of operating that drives real growth, personally and professionally. If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start showing up like the leader you already are, let’s go.
Ready to Stop Guessing and Start Growing?
Let’s Talk.
It started with late nights, quiet tears, and second-guessing everything. No roadmap. No clear brand. Just a blurry vision I couldn’t shake. I wanted to create something.
Then came the headline.
That’s me in the photo, holding the newspaper: “Biggest Newsmaker.” Not because I crushed it, but because the town hated the branding work I led. I was dragged online, bullied in public forums, and humiliated. I thought I was done.
But that front-page failure lit a fire.
It was then I realized: the only thing standing in the way… was me.
So I got clear on what I wanted, how I wanted to lead — and found the guts to get sh*t done.
That’s how the Maven Mindset was born: a blend of brand clarity, bold communication, and strategic execution. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters.
With that mindset, I built HAVEN Creative, a multi-award-winning agency named one of Charlotte’s fastest-growing companies and the Best Ad Agency in town.
Our team of Mavens helped us scale to seven figures by being radically candid, unapologetically authentic, and relentlessly focused.
Let's build that.
On the GSD with Jeni Podcast, I interview all types of mavens: entrepreneurs, executives, and trailblazers who have faced fear, fought head trash, and built something extraordinary.
We don't just talk about the wins — we break down the real work, the messy middle, and the bold moves that made the difference.
