Frequency with Rick Jordan

Greg Wilson knows money. This dude spent years as a CPA and CFO helping other people build wealth and raise capital. Built a service business from scratch. Helped companies achieve multi-figure exits. Now he's taking everything he learned and applying it to his own real estate development projects. Greg breaks down the difference between debt and equity financing. When to use each one. How to avoi...

Jordan Peterson dropped something on Instagram that stopped me cold. "If you're not having to think about something big and stressful, then all you'll think about is something small and delusional." Hit me like a truck. Made me realize something about the difference between people who grow and people who stay stuck. Right now I'm thinking about building companies. Taking the company public. Speaki...

Arjun Dingra brought something special to this conversation. Two-time Taekwondo world champion. Twenty-five years in mortgage and real estate. Founder of the LFG Society. This man understands resilience at levels most people never reach. Arjun's story starts with getting bullied as a kid. His mom accidentally put him in Taekwondo instead of karate. That mistake changed everything. But here's what...

What’s shakin’? In this episode, I’m diving into a powerful message inspired by one of my favorite artists, Ed Sheeran, and his song Save Myself. There’s a line in that track that stopped me in my tracks: “Before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself.” That hit me deep—and I think it’s something you need to hear today too. Here’s the truth: so many of us give and give until there’s nothing...

Today I’m going ALL IN with Chris Van Dusen, a serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist and senior partner at Solyco Capital. Chris shares how a career-ending baseball injury unexpectedly launched him into entrepreneurship, leading to multiple exits—including one for $75 million—and ultimately into venture capital. We dig into the highs and lows of building businesses, the reality of raising...

Time for some tough love. These four areas will absolutely destroy your life if you let them. Maybe you're doing great right now. Share this with someone who isn't. Maybe you recognize yourself in these patterns. Either way this episode is a mirror you need to look into. These four areas connect to each other. Neglect health and you can't perform. Mismanage money and you can't invest in health or...

Spencer Lodge blew my mind today. Top 100 most influential people in Dubai. Sales legend. Financial planning expert. This man built an empire on four simple steps that most people completely ignore. Spencer doesn't believe in cold calling. Says it's ridiculous. Waste of time. Instead he built a system that generated 45 referrals per week. Forty-five. Let that sink in. His approach is pure genius....

Most people suck at supporting others. Yeah I said it. You want to help but you end up making things worse. You jump in with unsolicited advice. You minimize their feelings. You compare their situation to someone else's. Stop doing that. Stop trying to give them perspective. Stop saying "it was meant to happen" or "you're better off" or "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." That's not h...

Philip Moranto's story hit me different. Former pro skateboarder turned mindset coach. But this isn't your typical athlete success story. This is about surviving chaos and choosing to rebuild. Philip grew up in a world most of us can't imagine. Father had him at 47. Brothers in their 50s. Out till one in the morning as a kid with older crowds. Violence. Drugs. Crime. All before he was even a teena...

Gen Z just dropped some serious wisdom on all of us. Their top three restaurants blew my mind. Not because of what they picked. But because of what it reveals about what actually matters to customers. Chick-fil-A hit number one. Yeah you heard that right. Not McDonald's with tens of thousands of locations. Chick-fil-A with just 2,300 restaurants. And all the political bullshit that surrounds them...

This conversation with Dennis Morolda on Building Men hit differently. We went deep into what it means to become a man when life forces you to grow up fast. How losing my dad at 16 changed everything. And why the moment my uncle caught me running from the house became one of the most defining moments of my life. When Dad got leukemia everything changed. The day after he passed Mom came home. Went...

  I was filming a TV show called Two-Minute Drill with David Meltzer last week. Pitch show format like Shark Tank but for pitching not funding. I was a guest judge alongside pro athletes and celebrities. One of them was Austin Eckler. Running back for the Los Angeles Chargers. And this dude's intensity blew me away. Austin's face was frozen in concentration the entire time. So intently listen...

This conversation blew me away. Shyra Melo is 27 years old. First generation Colombian-American. And tomorrow she's ringing the bell at the Chicago Board of Trade as part of a company going public. But here's the kicker. Six years ago she was just a 21-year-old who heard about this Bitcoin thing on the news and decided to invest. Shyra's journey started when she kept hearing about Bitcoin everywhe...

You know those people who are always looking for trouble. Always finding bad relationships. Can't hold a job. Seem to repeat the same terrible patterns week after week month after month year after year. Maybe that's you right now. Maybe you're thinking you can't find the right job. Can't find a good relationship. Wondering why all the good people are taken. Here's what's really happening. You've t...

This conversation shook me. Cheryl Hunter is a cowgirl from Colorado who was kidnapped as a teenager. Instead of letting that trauma define her she turned it into her mission. Now she's a four-time TED talk speaker who helps mission-driven experts gain audiences of millions through major media. But her journey to get there is what will blow your mind. After being abducted Cheryl spent over a decad...

I've got Walt Disney's stock certificate hanging on my wall in my office. One share. Beautiful certificate with all the characters and Walt right in the middle. But it's not there because I'm a Disney fanboy. It's there because of the quote at the bottom. My favorite quote in the world. "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." This is where we all get stuck. Not even kidding. T...

This conversation blew me away. My friend and mentor Darren Jacklin was back in the studio. And this dude has lived a life that most people wouldn't believe. Homeless. On welfare. R9 credit rating which is the worst you can get. Special education from grade 1 to grade 12. Never went to college or university. Most people would have bet against him ever amounting to anything. Fast forward to today....

Some truths hit differently. These four will change your life. Get you unstuck. Help you bring closure to scenarios that have been eating at you. And get you out of your own head once and for all. How do you break out of that? Make a choice. Do something different. Instead of blaming that person, choose to change whatever you have power over. Take back that power. When you take action. When you ch...

This conversation hit different. JR Butler went from Division I hockey at Holy Cross to building a company that got acquired by IBM for $2 billion. But the path wasn't straight. And it definitely wasn't easy. JR's story starts in a bar after a men's league hockey game. He was planning to go to law school. Study for the LSAT. Take the traditional route. Then he met a guy who owned a VAR who told hi...

You know that sick feeling in your gut when you're talking to someone and nothing you do feels right. You feel boxed in. Cornered. Like you're walking on eggshells constantly. That's emotional manipulation. And it's happening to you more than you think. I've been studying psychology because it ties directly into my work with insider threats and cyber security. Human behavior plays pivotal roles in...

This conversation blew me away. Daniel Tolson is a three-time Australian wakeboarding champion who started his coaching business in his grandmother's spare bedroom. And here's the kicker. The dude doesn't even own a car. Takes yellow taxis everywhere because he'd rather spend quality time with his family than lose hours driving. We went deep on authenticity versus fake flexing. You know those coac...

Leadership isn't about being the one on stage. It's not about the spotlight or having people look at you all the time. Real leadership is about carrying the emotional weight of everyone around you. And bringing value to their lives because you genuinely want to see them light up. I've been drawn to leadership since I was 10 years old. Asked to teach Sunday school in sixth grade because I had somet...

What’s shakin’? It’s Rick Jordan—and today we’re talking about something everybody needs but most people never get: clarity. I’m not talking about wishful thinking or endless journaling. I’m talking about making decisions that you’ve been avoiding—the ones that are keeping you stuck in a loop of frustration, confusion, and feeling like you’re just going through the motions. I’ve seen it too many t...

I sat down with Mike Zeller, and this conversation blew my mind. This dude has generated over $100 million in revenue across 16 different endeavors. Fashion, real estate, automotive, marketing, coaching - you name it, he's crushed it. But here's what really got me fired up about Mike - he's spent 447 hours with Tony Robbins and has cracked the code on finding your genius within. Mike breaks down t...

This episode hit me different. Sometimes you need to slow down and get real about what's holding you back. Three lessons that changed my perspective completely. First lesson hurts the most. Leave people where they are. Yeah I know that stings. You want everyone you care about to grow with you. To level up when you level up. But here's what I learned the hard way. Some people aren't ready. They're...
