Jourdan Saunders

My mission is to help people unlock markets that were never truly closed…just never fully seen.
When I failed the Praxis exam twice, it wasn’t just about a test. It was a moment that forced me to choose: end or beginning?
I chose beginning.
That choice sparked a drive to build what didn’t exist: tools, support, and spaces where more people feel like they belong.
Before online mentorship was a trend, I created one for speech-language pathology students. I started a LinkedIn group when I was the only member-today, it’s grown to over 40,000 professionals. Not through chasing visibility, but by delivering value…one person at a time.
Behind the scenes, I was always building:
-Studying how disability intersects with every sector—from healthcare to AI to aging.
-Learning how to translate inclusion into strategy and scalable systems.
-Tracking and shaping the rise of The $23 Trillion Disability Market, not just as a market, but as a movement.
As CEO of The Resource Key™, I’ve partnered with 300+ organizations—from Verizon to Harvard Business School Online, to grow where it matters most: impact, trust, and alignment.

Results:
-$20M+ in funding unlocked
-Go-to-market strategies shaped
-AI healthtech startup scaled from 3 to 150+ employees
-Inclusive programs launched across 100+ gyms
-300+ stages spoken on-after once being terrified of the mic
