When Your Parents Marry Your Best Friend's Parents

What happens when childhood best friends become stepbrothers and eventually business owners? Blake and Kaydn Jensen share their remarkable journey from teenage troublemakers to dedicated entrepreneurs in this candid, entertaining conversation about persistence, pivoting, and finding your path.

The brothers reveal how they first met through a mutual friend, became neighbors in fifth grade, and eventually became family when their parents married during their senior year of high school. Their shared experiences—from dirt bike adventures and teenage mischief to college athletics and entrepreneurial challenges—highlight their different yet complementary approaches to business.

Blake, developer of the St Jeezy app, shares how the platform connects southern Utah residents with local business deals, while Kaydn details his journey building Hydroswell, a nutrition company specializing in innovative clear protein products. Their contrasting businesses—one digital, one physical—showcase the different challenges entrepreneurs face depending on their industry.
