TDS PRESENTS
THE LEGACY BUILDERS SPEAKER SERIES
TWO BIRTHDAYS, TWO GENERATIONS, ONE MISSION.
featuring
Medina Jett, President, TDS

Taylor Jett, Chief Experience Officer, TDS
TDS doesn’t get to 1,000 millionaires alone. It gets there with you. To close out birthday week, Medina and Taylor sit down together live for the first time, for an inside look at TDS: where it came from, what it offers, and who it's looking for on the way there. Then the floor opens, and we get down to business: brainstorming together how TDS and this community keep growing in service of each other.
What we're covering:
The origin: Why Medina started TDS with Sydni, and why it carries the family's names
The build: How Taylor came to build it with her
The three arms: What TDS Builders, TDS Capital, and TDS Learners each offer
The mission: 1,000 millionaires, and how this community moves from spectators to owners
Who we're looking for: Values-aligned people to build alongside, new partners, people ready to join the TDS Capital community, more projects, people talking about TDS out loud, and honest feedback
The conversation: What you need, what you bring, and where we build together
Bring your questions and your ideas. We won’t have every answer right away. With the right people in the room, we’ll leave with a list, and we’ll build from it.
About the Speakers
Medina Jett, JD, MBA, is the President of TDS, which she started with her daughters and named for her three children, Taylor, Dre and Sydni. A first-generation college student from humble beginnings and a self-described career chameleon, Medina became a senior executive at three Fortune 500 financial services companies before turning 40. She then founded ICSGroup, a legal and compliance firm for private equity and real estate funds. She scaled it into an international firm and sold it in 2021, and along the way became the only Black woman to own a compliance firm in the asset management industry. ICSGroup’s business model became a Harvard Business Review case study, which Medina taught to first-year students at Harvard Business School. Today she builds homes across Atlanta through TDS, with one goal: 1,000 millionaires, and ownership that lasts for generations. A longtime mental health advocate, the author of Peace Be Still, and a proud 40-year member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Medina lives by one rule: to whom much is given, much is expected.
Taylor Jett is the Chief Experience Officer of TDS, where she builds the systems, programming, and community experience behind TDS Builders, TDS Capital, and TDS Learners, including the Legacy Builders Speaker Series. Before joining the family business, she spent more than a decade in entertainment at Netflix, HBO/WarnerMedia, CAA, and BLD PWR, working across talent operations, live events, and creative development for film, TV, and podcasts. She also designs workforce programs that open doors for underrepresented creatives in Los Angeles. In every role, her work starts with the same question: who’s being left out, and what’s the fix? Taylor was Emerson College’s undergraduate commencement speaker and received its President’s Award for Civic Leadership. She’s a Pilates instructor, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and a self-proclaimed voice of the underdog who lives by a simple rule: leave every space better than you found it.
