Walking With Jordi

You need to have some version of an end goal otherwise every action you take will almost be futile in your attempt to figure out your own path. Calibrating you’re actions based on your end goal, passion, and around practiced self-awareness is a start to happiness. Please have that honest conversation with yourself.

I truly believe that building a personal brand has to do 2 core things. Distributing content around a topic that you're passionate about, and disproportionately caring for the audience that you're looking to reach. Too often I see people selfishly creating content and they wonder why they aren't breaking through the 'glass ceiling'. Once you begin from a place of empathy for the audience and passi...

It’s so important to start your journey. The longer you wait, ponder on your execution and delay sharing your story with the world. This conversation with my friend Jayvon is a call to action to share content!

Episode Description On today's episode, I had a conversation with one of my friends Cris around some topics we both share interest in. We spoke about creating contextual creative context to achieve your business or personal goals,  I discussed some of the things that contribute to my overall framework for living, and we highlighted some key core values in some companies and what makes them ex...

This audio clip is one I extracted from an interview with recording artist Vannah Oshun on the importance of strategy, time management, and setting up yourself for success by breaking down your dreams into daily small actionable steps.

For all my artists that are here on a budget, I truly believe that this strategy in whatever shape or form will truly be valuable. Whether it's doing free work as an event photographer, doing song covers on YouTube and Instagram, doing comedy skits as a comedian, voice overs as an actor, the playing field is wide open and it comes down to talent. Are you talented enough?  We can chat at my bu...

Being grateful comes from deep within your soul. I truly believe that as much as the media paints a negative image of the world that things are truly significantly better. All of us can share our voices without being blocked off by 4 old white men in an office. We're going to live longer, we can communicate with each other at scale, and more. Yes things aren't perfect, yes bad things do happen, bu...

In order to truly deal with people, we have to understand ourselves. Any successful business has a host of meaningful people core to the functioning of it. The founder's DNA typically trickles down into the flow of the business and it's important that we as leaders understand ourselves before we get involved in a people oriented thing such as a business.

As the intenet continues to eat everything in our world, a strong reputation or brand will be the final frontier of business. Yes your sales work right now, and they’ll continue to work for a long time. But please don’t let that cloud your vision on the fact that you need to spend an equal amount of time branding and providing people upfront value!

If you wait for something like new years as the lever to change you're bad habits, you might be a procrastinator. In order to truly affect change in your life, it starts now. Not tomorrow, next week, or next month. We have to get more serious about auditing our behaviors if we truly want to make progress for ourselves.

Stress management is something we don't speak about often enough. Life is all about how we handle stress because at every turn there's another set of problems. It could be friends, family, work, a new personal business venture, or things just not going to plan. All the areas of our lives require mindfulness of what's going on and how we react to it and I truly believe that this helps in business.

All of us are alloted the same 24 hours in our day so there's no reason why we can't achieve our goals. Since I've watched this video https://youtu.be/oTugjssqOT0 on time management it's really allowed me to reclaim a lot of wasted hours. I believe in focusing on the customer as a way to produce results. Competition analysis goes so far but customers are never satisfied, thus giving room to consta...

No one knows what's going on deep within you but you. I choose myself today.

Your attention is something is highly valuable to me. And for that reason, I'll never take it for granted. Time is becoming more and more precious. And as that develops, more and more we're seeing people fall into spammy behavior! I refuse to fall into this pattern of behavior because who wants to be sold to all the time? Exactly! Thank you as always for sticking with me on this Journey.

There comes a time in everyone's life where they ask if they're making the right choices. Now this isn't a playbook on how to figure out your life decisions, but it's an honest self evaluation game. Do the people that tell you to not do what you believe, take bold bets on themselves? If the answer to this question is no, then you go ahead and choose your inner voice.

We all have the same 24 hours in the day. We all just use it differently. Today I share some of the things that have helped me to become more effective in my execution and it all boils down to executing on my time in silos. No multi-tasking, no time hacks, just good old allowing time to tasks, breaking them down, and sticking to them. It's so basic, but it works, trust me!

I'm always very inspired by people's dreams and aspirations. But I'm usually disappointed by the fact that there's a meager amount of execution on those dreams when I do my due diligence to hear what's going on below the surface. My reminder to you and to myself is to dream big, attack those small steps, but most importantly, START. Too many of us don't start for a myriad reasons. And I hope that...

We can't afford to wait until those final bleak moments in life to be grateful for the people we have around and and the things that we have present in our lives. Positivity is like a muscle; the more we practice it, the easier it becomes to implement. I challenge you today to call a family member, an old friend, a sibling, and let them know that you're grateful that they're alive! Don't wait unti...

Do you manage your time well? On average I'll bet that most of us don't operate in a strict schedule, myself included. I'm sure that we get alot done during a regular day, but what if we could get more done? That's what I'm currently testing. I've blocked off. Y schedule, set times for activities, like the gym right now and I'm going to stick with it! This is the youtube lecture that I watched: it...

One of the biggest problems I had was stabilizing my income as a photographer. I had to constantly hunt for new customers which is my natural state of being. But I wanted to begin farming meaning nurturing existing relationships with clients to furnish stable long term income to eliminate the overhead of being anxious about the next photography client. All in all this lead me to where I am and I h...

Today is a special episode with one of my good friends Maliek Lynch prior to the release of his new album, 'Insin'. I've seen him transform from not wanting to leave the house to record music to consistently making projects, singles, more photoshoots, and just wholly embracing the art. I'm today's episode the message I want to drive home for us all is loving your journey! It's truly difficult. But...

The more that you can show a customer you care, the more you'll will in the long term. Today after delivering some photos in the rain, I reflected on how a company like Amazon is one of the most valuable companies in the world. It's because of their obsession with the customer. I think that all of us should like that to the best of our abilities and this will yield so much results for us. It takes...

Coming to New York from Jamaica in 2012 was perhaps the opportunity of a lifetime for me. What that meant for me and my family was an opportunity to come into one of the greatest countries in the world to have a chance at a better life. And for that reason, I can never complain. I'm sharing this message with you today because we need to put life into perspective because 2019 is truly one of the gr...

People will cheer for you when you've made significant progress, sometimes even your friends and family. My question is do you believe in yourself and are you willing to sweat, lose sleep, get torn down by people and persevere through clouded judgement? If you are, start posting more because my life is changing right before my eyes in a way that I could have never dreamed of a few years ago. The i...
