What's Your 1 THING?

"It's not too late, it's never too late" There... Now that you have 3 Days Grace playing in your head, we can begin. Hello friend, it's been A WHILE. I know I know, you've all been harassing me asking things like "are you ok?!" "Where have you been?!" "Is everything ok?!" And the answer are.... Yes, I've been here, not now but they will b...

This week, I tried to answer one of life’s biggest questions: What’s the meaning of all this? After spending seven days exploring spirituality, connection, and the stories people shared with me, I realized something—this isn’t a topic you figure out in a week. It’s one you feel your way into. So today, while I take real time to process everything I’ve learned, I’m pulling an episode from the vault...

What is spirituality? For most of my life, that question has made my brain short-circuit. Religion never clicked. Energy and vibrations felt too abstract. And any time someone asked what I believed in, I had one go-to line: “I stopped answering questions I don’t have the answer to.” But lately… I’ve been thinking: I want to feel connected to something bigger than myself. I want to understand what...

Are you actually taking care of your life… or are you just telling yourself you are? In this episode, Dr. Len Lopez breaks down the STEPS framework: a 2-minute daily audit that reveals exactly where your physical, mental, and spiritual habits are slipping. S.T.E.P.S stands for: S leep: Are you going to bed feeding your mind something good? T hink: Are you speaking to yourself with intention… or le...

I spent seven days trying to stay consistent… with zero accountability, zero stakes, and zero external pressure. And what I learned surprised me. In today’s final recap of the Consistency Challenge, I break down the biggest lessons from each day — the ones that actually helped and the ones that fell apart fast: How to break your goals down using first principles The daily schedule printout that sa...

Today’s episode wasn’t supposed to happen. I was ready to throw in the towel. Pop in here and say "oh well, I tried, but this is always what happens..." Before inviting everyone into my pity party I figured I should at least check and see what I was "supposed" to do today for my consistency challenge. It was talk about failure. And not just about it, but what it's not. It h...

You don’t need more motivation — you need a feedback loop. In this episode, we take your cues from Day 4 and turn them into real, visible habit wins. You’ll get the exact 4-column tracker I’m using and learn how to use it in under a minute. Link to the printable/downloadable tracker -

Motivation failed me again today… so I tested something better. In Day 4 of The Consistency Experiment, we dive into cue-based habits — the “tiny trigger → automatic action” loop that turns goals into muscle memory. No hype. No perfect morning routine. No discipline Olympics. Just real life, real triggers, and real messiness. If you’ve ever wondered why your routines fall apart or why some habits...

What life really looks and sounds like behind the camera. Day 3 in the bag. Are you living in reality? Or beating yourself up for not being on someone else's social media feed-level? Check back in tomorrow for another reality check, I'll be here all week.

Don't forget about the listener office hours ! Come hangout with me... seriously Most of us don’t fail because we’re lazy — we fail because our environment makes doing the right thing harder than it needs to be. In Day 2 of The Consistency Experiment , I test whether cleaning my space, setting up my planner, and cleaning* my calendar can help me actually stick to time blocking. It’s not perfec...

💌 Want to share your 1 Thing? Hit me up during my ⁠office hours!⁠ If you’ve ever felt personally attacked by the phrase “show me your calendar and I’ll show you your priorities” — this episode is for you. This week, I’m testing one of the most overhyped productivity systems out there: time blocking. Can I actually set a schedule… and stick to it? Or will it all fall apart by Monday afternoon? Her...

Listener Feedback link here! - book a 15 min call You’ve probably been chasing purpose through career moves, new goals, or self-help books… but what if the reason you still feel stuck is because you don’t actually want to find it? In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur and coach Matt Strunk, who sold multiple companies, hit every success milestone — and still felt empty. We unpack why purpo...

We’ve all been there — you hit a goal, finish a challenge, or fall off your streak for just one day… and suddenly that little voice creeps in: “See? You knew you couldn’t keep it up.” In this episode, I unpack what really kills consistency — not lack of motivation, but the inner critic that shows up when we start to slip or even after you finish a goal. This is the real lesson I took from the Awar...

What would happen if you tried to cut your phone pickups in half? In this midweek check-in of The Awareness Experiment , I tackle a personal mindfulness challenge to break my phone addiction. Dropping from 93 pickups a day to just 46. Along the way, I discovered that awareness is just the start. Real change takes structure, stakes, and a willingness to face your own habits head-on. This episode di...

I need to cut my phone "Pickups" in half this week, or my friend Jimmy gets to smash it into a million pieces. Ok, that might be a little dramatic but here's the thing... I'm done messing around. I've been at this personal development podcasting game for over a year now, but it still doesn't feel like anything changed. Then I realized, it was because I was all talk and no...

Most of us have been told to “find your passion”—as if that’s the magic key to discovering your purpose. But what if we’ve been doing it backwards? In this episode, Jordan sits down with Dr. Babs Faseesin, author of Cracking the Life Code, to explore why purpose comes before passion—and how finding your “red thread” through life can unlock deeper meaning and direction. Together, they unpack 2 of t...

Boudoir photographer Gregory James Thelian joins Jordan to talk about how powerful portrait work — done the right way — can reveal the self we already contain. We dig into why so many self-help tactics fail (they skip the “self”), how a three-day boudoir experience creates lasting change, and a simple introspective exercise you can use when limiting beliefs show up. Full of neuroscience, humor, wa...

(Welcome back to today's episode… as if you left and came back in the first 30 seconds…. I forget what words mean sometimes😛 I hope you keep listening) Stick to your values! It’s ok to rock the boat sometimes. Don’t succumb to smooth talkers, as persuasive as they can be. If you believe yourself to be right, stand up for what you think and believe in. Even in silly circumstances like this one...

Pick something and commit. It’s fine to experiment to see what floats your boat, but you do need to eventually set sail. You need to stop dipping your toes off the end of the dock and dive in. You will not grow by testing 50 things out to 20%. You would learn more by picking any one of them and going 100% in. If it's not right for you, great! Now you can say that with certainty and move onto t...

I want to learn how to serve you, my dearest listener, better. Please fill out as much (or as little) info as you want on this form HERE . It really means the world to me :) - I need to get out of my own head, so please let me inside of yours 😂 To recap this episode in a few lines. I've been pretty "self-centered" lately and have felt off. That is because I've been focusing too...

Be honest — when’s the last time you made a new friend? For most of us, it feels awkward, risky, and even a little scary. What if they laugh at us? What if we get rejected? That’s exactly what my daughter Simone was nervous about when she started at a brand-new school. But here’s the thing — she figured it out on day one. In this episode, Simone teaches me her secrets to making friends, and along...

Giving advice is easy. Living it? Not so much. In this episode with my good friend Spencer Jones, we dig into: If it’s a problem, make it a priority. Why communication at home is way harder than with strangers. The decision hack: treat your problem like it’s someone else’s. How to set boundaries (without guilt). The heliotropic effect — why some people fill you up while others drain you. And maybe...

I’ve been off lately. Short-tempered, not very kind, definitely not the dad I want to be. And after some thinking (and finally listening to Simon Sinek on the High Performance podcast with Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes), I figured out why. I wasn’t living in line with my values. Who I say I am on the inside hasn’t matched how I’ve been acting on the outside. And when that happens, happiness feel...

Need a quick mood boost? In this episode, I’m joined by the hilarious Travis Rhoden from Bestie Approved , and we’re cutting straight to the chase with two science-backed ways to be happier—without slogging through a two-hour self-help marathon. First up: the “Duchenne smile” (yes, it’s as fun to say as it is to do), a simple trick involving a pencil, your molars, and 30 seconds that can actually...
