Thank you for having me.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, seriously, when I got the calls like absolutely.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, I know, I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Thank you. I appreciate it. We first met lasts about
a year ago.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I had to sing the national anthem for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yes, the Dallas series.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yet actually that was a crazy series, ma'am. That was insane.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Here was the fans are like, I've never seen fans
crazier than the Minnesota fans.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Really, Oh my gosh, Well, Warriors fans are crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
You have to get to the Dallas game because it
was Dallas fans are crazy actually Boston Dallas Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yes, oh yes, you've gotten to see that too. Yeah,
so yeah, So those are the craziest ones that you've seen.
That's the craziest ones I've seen, yuse, I.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Haven't been to Boston yet.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I've heard about them and actual when we play Boston,
they travel there fans.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, no, the fans travel and the next next fans
they're everywhere Boston. From my experience, they went for the
first time and they were crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
They're really crazy. I could imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's intimidating girl.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So you being like a basketball players girlfriend, how is that? Like?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Do they like are they do they say stuff like
do you ever hear them talk about behind you?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Like you're like, hey, you know what sports fans are
going to be?

Speaker 1 (01:58):
What it is?

Speaker 3 (01:58):
It's one of those arguments never win because they're willing
to take whatever shots just to try to get under
that person's skin. So do I turn and look? Yes?
Do I react? I try not to, But when I
get to the games, I feel like a lot of people,
some people will come up to me and be like
I came here to see you or to hope to

(02:20):
see you, which I'm always surprised because I'm like, I
don't even know, like for what George Woods. But no,
it's really it's really fun. I try not to be
reactive because I realized it's one of those things.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
You won't win that battle, you know. That's so true.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
I always want to go on Twitter. I want to,
and I'm just like, let me hold back.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm just not Yes, we're gonna get to that someone
to talk about, like just even social media, because for me,
it's hard me not to react. And sometimes I'm like,
I got time today.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
When I have too much time, I put my phone away.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah smart, Yeah, because it just gets so sticky.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I feel, yes, and it will get you in trouble,
that's for sure. Your father in love is a big
fan and one of my shows. And when I came to.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
The gate, he was like, I thought that was you.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
So when I got to meet she said I want
to at the Jordan, I'm like, okay, let me go
meet her.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah. And you and your mom just first of all,
your mom looks like your sister.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
No, she gets sut so she gets out all the time.
She gets up more than she doesn't get that. I
can imagine she's like the triplets, you know, and we're
all together with my sister.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's just stunning. Seriously, thank you.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
So sweets strong.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yes, they are, they really are.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
So I want to talk to you about just the
diverse career that you built from modeling, entertainment, and entrepreneurship.
You were raised in Los Angeles, California, and then you
moved to Calabasas at a young age, was how were
you when you moved to Cali.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Honestly, I always grew up in California, and I always
grew up within like ten minutes from Calabasa.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
So that's got it.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Okay, it's always kind of been in the same vicinity.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, how was that.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Growing up just like because your father worked in the industry,
how was that just growing up inside that at a
young age.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I think it creates a jaded perception of things. You
grow up in LA and you're not really super impressed
by anything. As you get older, you're like, oh, I've
seen that, done that. Sometimes, that perception of reality of
what's real or what's not. When you take a step out,
you're like, wait, what's going on? Because but you appreciate

(04:23):
things differently, I think once you leave. For me, I
moved to London, I moved to New York. I lived
in different places, so I got to appreciate.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
One.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
I appreciate home for the weather and my lifestyle, my
family's there. But two, like I appreciate the realness of
somewhere like New York. Where LA people might smile in
your face and don't really like you, But in New York,
it's like, if I'm smiling in your face, it's because
I actually like you. But it's like I love the

(04:58):
lifestyle of because I feel like I'm more healthy and
it's more focused on wellness and you can be outside
and you have space, and like, you go to other
cities and it's not the.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Food is too good. Listen Atlanta, Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yes, yes, the food is very flavorful of salty, fattening
and it's amazing, but we're not as heale conscious. That's
why I love, like when I go to LA or Miami,
places where wellness is like top tier.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, that's why I feel in La, I just I
don't know. Also it's because my family's there, but you
just kind of I don't know, I've always grown up
feeling like I had to work and just had like
a strong work ethic because you grow up in Hollywood
where the kids are acting, the kids are doing that,

(05:48):
like you're just put to a task at an early age,
and it's kind of like all I know is just
going out there and making it happen.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Was there ever moment because you still at such a
young age that you were like I don't want to
do this, or has it always been like this is
just what it is.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
You kind of get into the survival mode. And it
sounds extreme because people like you grew up privileged in
California and this, and I don't discredit the privilege that
I do have.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
But at the same time.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
My dad worked his entire life, he worked on he's
the sound engineer for television, so he sacrificed a lot
of his time with us to be on these sets,
to provide the lifestylee for us to be in that
room to even have the opportunity, but we definitely struggled.

(06:38):
And just because you're around people who have certain things
doesn't mean you have it. That's real, and so for me,
I just always had that mindset of like, Okay, what
am I going to do?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
How am I going to make it happen?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I do have the privilege of the platforms and the
people around me to have that leverage and that visibility,
So I don't discredit that whatsoever. But I started working
at fifteen and I haven't stopped.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I had to beg my dad to get a job
when I was fifteen. He was like, all right, you
can get a job. But like everyone of my family,
like Crystal, you work like there's no tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
And I'm like, it's just in me. I have that
grit that gird Hey.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, well I'll go crazy if I do. If I'm
just sitting around, I'll go crazy. If I'm at home,
I'm like, all right, can I reorganize my closet? Like?
What can I do? Can I clean the kitchen?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Can I? I don't. I think it's just.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Like a mental health thing for me, which also could
drive you crazy if you don't have time and stillness
and to just be with yourself for a moment.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
So it's about finding the balance because I'm struggling. I'm
finding the balance right now, though.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
You have a lot of things going on with so
much I want you said something moving.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
You went to London? Where else do you? New York
and New York? So what was it? Like? What prompt
did you say I'm going to go to the UK?

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah? So when I turned eighteen, like a month after
I turned eighteen, I signed with a modeling agency, which
it wasn't even something I was really looking to pursue.
It kind of found me. My agent at the time
send an email. I thought it was a fake email.
I thought it was a fraud. So I was like, Mom,
just reach out because my mom has been managing me

(08:23):
since the beginning, because my dad was like I've been
around the Hollywood stuff. I don't trust anyone but your
mom to protect you and be there for you, and
she'll do the best job she can. And so when
I turned eighteen, I moved to New York, signed to
my modeling agency. I was living there, and then there's
a lot of work opportunities in London, so I was like,

(08:44):
you know what, I'll just go move out there for
a little. I loved it. Yeah, and that was I
didn't go to college, but for me, those life experiences
were in my college. I still might go to college
one day, just because I always had this dream of
going to Stanford.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Oh, I just visited Stanford.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
How did you like it?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
I didn't even get to it. I haven't even been
there yet. Oh, the campus is stunning. I actually went
with Essay latter. We went to the center and learned
about how to live longer.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Oh, I need to go there.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
No, it was the campus is stunned. What did you learn?
I learned so much.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I learned about the things that we're doing right now, like,
in particular, can help us not have dementia later?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Can either?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I need that because I can't even remember what I
did yesterday. I'm like, this is not good. So did
they give you any like tips? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
They did.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
They said there's a few things that helped when they
did studies on people that had dementia and didn't have it.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Was their diet.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
A lot of them who didn't have it had a
vegan diet or plant based diet. They had a sense
of community, religion, going to church and having that spiritual
vola and working out.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
And it's like such simple fundamentals could change your mind everything.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
And even just having good community like your friends and the
people that you talk to.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Because a lot of people start to lose their mom
when they don't have.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Anyone to talk to us, to get older, Yeah, to
remind them of like who they are their experience.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Wow, it made a lot of sense.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
And I came back. I changed, I got a shift.
I was like, we're changing everything.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
So have you been doing plant based there?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm plant based vegetarians, Like, okay, I need like something,
so like still no dairy. I cut it all the
dairy and everything is like super clean and organic.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
I feel like your mental clearness is probably just.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Always and I'm facing right now, so like I cut
out alcohol. Okay, I'm talking about super clear right now.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Okay, I need that. I need that.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I don't even.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Drink alcohol that much, but it's still like here and there,
I have a drink. It's more a social thing. Yes,
I'm not like, oh I'm going to go home and
pour myself a drink and no, I don't even like
alcohol that much, but it's fun. Like when I was here,
my best friend lives here and my cousin just moved here,

(10:55):
so like we went out and we're like, okay, let's
have a drink together because we're all here. But now
I need to I want to switch over. Yeah, I'm
enjoying you come on, I love that.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I love it so a lot.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Like you said, you learned a lot of your life
lessons just from moving away from home going to London.
That was something that Omari Hardwick told me. Was that
a Mari, Yeah Hardwick from Power. We were working on
a movie that Tyler Perry had done and he was
starting in it, and he was asking me what I
wanted to do, and I was like, I want to
be an actor, but like, I haven't gone to acting school.

(11:29):
Trying to find like a really good coach, and I
actually ended up studying it. Spices and Sturges, who was
Smith studied under amazing and they were absolutely incredible.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
But he said, Crystal, he was like, don't worry about
all that. Yeah, he said what I.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Tell people all the time, such a kids who want
to act, I say, move away from home. That is
where you're going to get those life lessons because what
you do when you're playing different characters is pulling from
your own lessons.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, to make it reality.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
If you haven't done anything or experienced anything, you have
nowhere to pull from.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
It's gonna feel more real, authentic if you've actually gone
out and seen an experience. Yes, yes, I'm totally for you.
I wanted to during the strike. As soon as we
the strike happened two years ago.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
My initial instinct was I should go to London and
study because I love British actors.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
They're killing it, baby, they are so good and you.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Don't even know they're British. Like I'm like, oh, this
person who's playing a cowboy is British the whole time?

Speaker 1 (12:25):
How did you exactly?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
But no, they're they're crushing it and they are so
I wanted to move there just for like do like
a six week intensive course or something.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
And Tyler was I was Tyler about it and he
was like, I don't know, he's not.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Just got a feeling like it's going to be over with,
like they're going to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
And it was three months later. I said, I could
have went on to London.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
You could have. You could have had one month day. Yeah,
the time will come. It will when it's the right time.
Met well for sure, and I think you would really
like it. I like it a lot. The weather it's
not great, no it's not, but the vibe, the people,
I just feel like they're not European, but they're kind
of European. Is just that vibe over there. Everyone has

(13:05):
a different sense of style, how they carry themselves.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Their mindset. Yeah, it's not aboud their mindset.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Like I'm like, wow, the things that we worry about
over here and they're like what are y'all talking about?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
That?

Speaker 3 (13:17):
It makes you realize how small you are and the
place that you live in when you leave and you're like, oh,
I can appreciate this. Even I went to Nigeria before,
and I'm like that opened me up to so much
more going to different places, Like just wherever you go,
I feel like you get just a little bit more wiser.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, no, for sure, absolutely. I love that.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Within your career, what was the biggest turning point where
you knew that you like had kind of made your
stamp in the industry.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
I think for me it was when I was modeling.
I just started kind of taking it a little bit
more serious and I booked different jobs and I was
booking videos for Fogue and I was just doing making
it happen, which I wouldn't say I was the most
confident person, but I just I always say, your greatest

(14:09):
superpower is your individuality, And so for me, I'm like,
God gave me this body for a reason. If I
can work on something I don't like, then I can
work on it. If I can't change it, then just
accept it. And I think I just developed my confidence
more and more by just putting myself out there where
when I started, I was like so shy. I didn't

(14:29):
know how to go into a room and talk to everyone.
By the end of it, I was going there talking
to everyone. It just like really helped me evolve and
become a young woman and I felt like I'm matured.
And it only took maybe a year and a half
and I was like, finally, okay, I'm making money. My

(14:49):
dad always was like, go to college. You need a
backup play and you need this. Like so I'm like, Dad,
I promise you just let me do me And so
it was actually not to get sad or emotional, but
I was nineteen when my dad passed, and so nineteen

(15:09):
was when I was finally getting in that rhythm and
doing everything. And it was like around the holidays, I
had been like, I'm gonna buy everyone an amazing gift
for Christmas. Like I finally made my money. I'm like
whatever I could get my dad was a big motorcycle guy,
so I got him this like vest I was super excited.

(15:30):
But then he ended up getting sick around Thanksgiving and
passed around Christmas, so I never it was what it
was one month in total and he passed. We found
out he had cancer and he passed four days later,
so it was yeah, it was very quick, yes, which

(15:52):
I'm at nineteen. It didn't feel real. I was in
denial for a long time. Yeah, but I would say
I'm happy he didn't have to suffer for long. He
was always super tough guy, worked out, super healthy, never sick,
and then had stage four pancreatic cancer and it took
him out with him from like being normal to him

(16:15):
passing was one month in total.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh yeah, so that was like, you.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Know, definitely changed the trajectory of my life and where
I thought I was going and how things were going,
And it put me into a kind of a darker
place than I realized I was at that moment. But
I will say he became my most powerful guardian angel,
So things started happening for me that I was like, Okay,

(16:43):
this could only be you. So you just with life,
you can choose to look at things different types of ways.
We could wake up and be like, I don't like anything,
and today it's not going to be a good day.
Or we can wake up and be like, We're going

(17:03):
to try to make today the best day that we can.
And so that's just kind of how I've chosen to
go about life. And I'm not gonna say every day
is great, but I try to like make sense of
every day.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
No, for sure, I lost my mother at the age
of two, so I didn't even get to know her.
So I always say that when I hear people who
lost a parent at an age where that actually had
that bonding and had a relationship with them, I couldn't imagine.
And like you, I also feel like my mother is
my guardian angel. Like there's so many times in my
life where I'm like, that was nothing but her, Like

(17:41):
in her and guy's are saying, just give a little grace,
you know. So I know that that feeling of just
knowing that you have someone watching over you. You said
that in the beginning, it was like it wasn't real,
It wasn't said. When did that grief set in and
what did you do just for your mental health to
really kind of hit focus on that head on.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
You know, there's no right or wrong way to agree.
I think what I could say, I kind of did wrong,
even though I feel in the moment I tried my
best and I did what I felt was right.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
In the moment.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Was kind of run from what happened and pretend like
it didn't happen. But that led me to kind of
go out more and drink more and party and just
say yes to everything because I just wanted to be distracted.
Whether it was a job, whether it was a party,
whether it was a kickback, whatever it was. It was

(18:39):
just like sure, I'm there. And then you also then
your boundaries. You don't have boundaries when you start accepting
everything and doing whatever and going out and you kind
of like, for me, I was spiraling and not realizing
that I was spiraling in that moment until I had

(19:02):
to sit still for a while and look at myself
and heal spend eight years now, so it took. It's
taken time, Yeah, and it never really feels better, but
you learn to deal with that and you get stronger,

(19:22):
so that hole is never closed, but you just learned
to live with it. Yea. And for anyone going through grief,
I would just say give yourself grace, try to face
it and not run from it, even though denial, I
feel like it's the first thing we all turned to.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
And just try to be around people.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
That support you and love you, and try to be
around your family. But it's hard being around people that
have never experienced anything like that because then like you
go somewhere, everyone's like, I'm sorry, and it's like, I
actually don't want to hear this, right, I just want
to like exist. You don't want to become your grief.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
And I know Carl he lost his mother during COVID
and I was as something you were able to help
him like cope with and deal with.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah, that actually brought us together and brought us a
lot closer. We were friends before all of that happened.
But being that I had gotten through a sudden loss
very similar, Yes, I was able to be there for
him and in a way that healed part of me
that I didn't even realize was still open. And when

(20:40):
things are coming up for him, in a way, they
were coming up for me as well. So that was
also a part of my healing, was just being able
to be supportive but take a look in the mirror
and realize, oh, there's certain parts of what you're dealing
with that I need to confront as.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well as well. Yeah that is beautiful. I just love
you two together. They talked about that.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
I was like, wow, that you probably really helped him
and I'm glad that you guys were able to heal
together and that, Yeah, that is beautiful.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
And also it was like during COVID, so you had
a lot of time to just kind of say it
with yourself and your thoughts, and we would go on
bike rides and be outside, you know, just have time.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's the perfect time to really good relationships.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
Either they made it there, it was just like you're
still together or it. And then right when.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
COVID was set, it was one of those things where
like we were because we are so used to our
day to day it made us sit down, you know,
and face whatever it was that we.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Were suppressing all those years.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
So COVID was like a really good healing time for
a lot of people. I think that was the time
that our community, the African American community, really like started
taking therapy serious because we had to sit with our
demons and we were like, wait, I have been pushing
through life and not really dealing with the things that
I need to deal with.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
And when you can be outside and you can be
that party friend or with those and then when you
have to sit still and you're like, no one is
calling me.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh Jordan.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Everything became super real for a lot of people, and
it was a super healing time, but it was also
a very dark time for a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Very yeah, a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
You know, no one could really work in that time.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
No could work, and like people were losing family members
less and right, like we forget about like because it's
we got through it, and then now the COVID is like, oh,
it's just a cold, you know. But like at one point,
like people were really losing their lives.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
And I'm sure people still are. It's just became more
normalized now because we've gone through it now for so
many years.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Isn't that crazy? How like that was so traumatic can
become normalized?

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, And the world it wasn't just affecting us, it
was acting the entire world, like different countries, We're also
everyone was shut down.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, it's just crazy.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
We've lived through too many like first time things.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yes, I'm tired I'm tired girl. Then I don't want
to be afraid. I don't want to be in these
history books for this, right, Like I live through that.
I live through that and this, this and this.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
I mean, I'm sure our ancestors feel the same way,
but I'm like, it feels like we're living through a
lot of first time things in the aftermath of COVID
and people's trauma and grief. It's still we still haven't
even confronted all of that.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
We have not, we have not. That is so true.
You talked about not always being the most confident, and
I was.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
When I was driving here, I was thinking about you,
because you, first of all, the body, Addy, Yaddy.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
I have to work hard for this. I'm not one
of those genetically boring people that just could eat whatever.
Like if I want to look a certain way, I
have to put in the work.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, I want because you I grew up in Hollywood,
which is just a naturally vain city where everybody's skinny,
and like all the things were, there are times where
you went through body dys morphia and like, man, I
need to be skinnier or like bingeia just to like try.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
To be skinnier. Or was it something you were just
like I'm gonna have this is what it is.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
I think I still have body dysmorphia, really not in
a sense of like I feel like we always want
what we don't have. It's like, oh, I lost this weight,
but now I want my skin to be tighter, or
I want my ads to be this, or I want
it like or why do I have all these stretch
marks of this? And it's like that's where you have
to Like I said, your individuality is your greatest gift,

(24:38):
but like paparazzi, I don't want you to catch me
on the beach like bending down like you know. It's
just there's always something that we pick apart ourselves. So
I'm trying to be better at being more graceful with myself.
I think that's something I keep going to is having
grace and stuff. So we have to also treat ourselves

(24:59):
with that same level of respect. Yes, and we wouldn't
talk about other people the way we talk about ourselves,
so we shouldn't be talking about ourselves in that way
as well. But it's we're women. I feel like there's
always going to be something, whether it's I want my
hair to be longer, my boobs to be higher, my
has to be big. I don't know, it's.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
All the things. It's everything.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, I'm seriously like I'm the type of person like
I want a nose job, Like no, yes, I'm gonna
do it.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
No, help me out of it.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Don't please don't do that.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, I don't want it. Like that's like one.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Of the only surgeries that I'm like, so so so
scared you have anyone doing that because I don't know.
I feel like they just it's like your face.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
It is your face. I know, it's just like your nose. No,
it's great contouring right now.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
No, don't look. I want to be supportive because I
like to support my girls and anything they want to do.
And if it doesn't make you feel good, then you
know what do it.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
But I really don't think that, you know, I appreciate it.
I was a little next to you want like a
little lift. You know. It's a few things like.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
I've been seeing some people recently, I'm like, what are
they doing?

Speaker 1 (26:11):
No, seriously, is it like a mini facelift? Yeah, it's
giving face. I don't know, they look good, they look
really good. Yeah, Like, who y'all going to.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I just want to know for my personal research.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, you know, exactly, maybe one day I need this exactly.
That is hysterical.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
So I want to ask you, so, if there's any
young entrepreneurs watching, what are some tips that you would
give them who want to get into the business.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Because you have so many businesses.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Let's talk about that too. You have the Talks here
bucket that I'm so excited about that.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, you're welcome to company.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
I think you'll love it. Yeah, So I am just franchising.
I'm franchising the Talks. It's something that I went to
in LA. They haven't actually in New York as well,
but I was one of the first people going there
in LA when they open. And it is an overall
treatment that focuses on lymphatic drainage, body sculpting, deep box,

(27:12):
and digestive whatever digestive issues you have going on. It
helps kind of move things around, It helps the circulation,
water retention, and so it's kind of for me, it's
like a treatment that I truly believe in. And I
feel like my best friend lives here. She went to college,
she went to Spelman. It's a city that also my

(27:34):
dad works here. He did a lot of shows here,
and he always loved Buckhead and he always was like,
you got to come move here, you got to come
see it like you would love it. I never got
to see it when he was here. So it was
the city that one I love, but too I felt
like it didn't have anything like it, and so I
wanted to bring kind of my vibe in La to Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, And it's I think the girls and the guys.
It's not just for girls. It's for whoever wants it.
But I think everyone will really enjoy it because something
that I believe in, so I feel like other people.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
So I'm really big in wellness and like I think
also to being in front of the camera all the time,
you want to take care of your body and just overall,
but like I see where my water sits like oh.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
The same like flying traveling, yes, yeah, yeah, you just
get swollen and you don't even realize sometimes how much
water you're retaining. And then like I'll get my arms
worked on from being on your phone.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Even why do you think about this?

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yeah, And I'm like, oh, my arms are so puffy
and they'll like do the treatment. Wow.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, Okay, do they have like memberships or is it?

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, so there's gonna be a founding membership, so it's
only available to the first hundred people.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
It's not you. Yeah, so first.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Hundred people you get the founding membership, you get amazing
discounsel and on every treatment you get free facial. On
your birthday, you get ten percent off products. There's a
bunch of products. There are a lot of cool different
like face tape, mouth tape, face sculpting product, there's so
many different products.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
And then you get complimentary upgrades if it's available. I
don't know I would become a member just because I'm
not trying to sell it. But it's like very discounted
pricing when you become an.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Omber where it's like worth it right exactly. Yeah, I'm
a laser.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
The place I get laser is like when you pay
the membership, the discounts like every time you go is
like nothing.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
So if the treatment's like two fifty, it's one yep,
So it's had and pays for itself.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
It does. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, I think you'll really like it.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, And I'm excited about it. And then you have
first place I.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Do, but first place that was like a passion when
I went on my fitness journey when my dad passed.
It's when I was like, fitness became my therapy and
I feel like it saved me. And I realized that
the fitness community could be very intimidating and a lot
of people don't know where to start, especially people. You
watch these people who have like a six pack and

(30:02):
an eight pack in this and you're like, Okay, this
is not relatable. So I wanted to just create something
that people felt was accessible, easy to go to. There
wasn't a lot of pressure, but you can get those
results without doing some crazy, insane workout right. Sometimes working

(30:23):
out the simplicity of it actually gets you there sooner
than crashing out. It really hard for four days and
then you can't walk for So consistency is more important
than intensity.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yes, I like that, that's the quote. Yeah, so it's
more important.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
I would say. It just is an easy, accessible thing
that you can have on your fingertips. So I wanted
to create that for people who might be in the
same position to me as me, or may be intimidated
by the whole fitness community. Yeah, and there's a lot
of stuff. You just you at home in your living room.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I love that because for me, like I love working out,
but with my work schedule, like when we're filming sixteen
hour days, like I'm not going to work it out,
I know, you know, So like the consistency is it?

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Like do you sleep or do you work out?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I had to like tell us even like sleep or study.
Like there's times where I'm like.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Just go to you have to sleep. Yeah, you got
to go because you can't be fresh for the next day.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
You could not. That is so true. I love that.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
You have had public relationships and friendships. How do you
manage that living your life in the spotlight? Like is
it you or do you have you like kind of
learned how to maneuver.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
I just I'm not in an overshare on the internet anymore.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, And I.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Wish that I actually shared more because people don't actually
know what I do on a day to day basis,
and a lot of people are like, what does she
even do? But the people that know me know I'm
always doing something. So I kind of want to find
the balance, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
I applaud anyone that's really good on social media and
day in the life and doing this one. I'm kind
of scared of people knowing my day to day moves,
just because now I live in New York and it's
a new environment and I'm still getting used to it.
So if I'm posting that I go to the gym
at just making up a time twelve o'clock every day,

(32:23):
it's easy to know what gym where what. So I
try to be more private for safety, but also I
feel like for me, I went through a time where
I was so outgoing and so to everyone, and then
I also went through time where I was in such
a dark place that I didn't really like know how

(32:46):
to be myself anymore. Yeah, So I'm like trying to
find that balance of like sharing without feeling too judge
in a way.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Let's talk about it, because I, yeah, I do the
same thing.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
It doesn't feel natural anymore. It used to feel natural.
And then, like obviously, I went through a bunch of
different things and a lot of different things on the
internet and being bullied and stuff, and then I just
kind of stopped sharing. Like on Twitter, I used to
tweet all the time. Yeah, my tweets are like have
a great day, now it's like, oh, congrats carl On,

(33:23):
like whatever he accolade he has on the court, or
like happy holidays. But that's all people are getting from me,
And it used to be so much more, And nobody's
telling me to not do it, or if I post something,
I'm not saying everyone's going to jump on me. It's
just my personal trauma and experience kind of created.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
That block it. Yeah, absolutely where.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I want to share more and I want but then
I just like overthink it and then then I like
draft it and I don't post.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
No, for sure, I get it. I get it.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
In those moments where you were feeling the cyber bullying
and the attacks, what take us through that time and
what it was like and how did you get out
of it?

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Because I know that was a really dark time for you.
How did I get out of that?

Speaker 3 (34:06):
I mean I still deal with that to this day,
not on that level. Yeah, I mean it is what
it is. I feel like the Internet is a place
where people don't forget or they don't let things go,
which is fine. Yeah, I think just really realizing in
life is important to you and what's not important. Most

(34:29):
of the time, people are projecting their own insecurities on
social media or their life. So it's kind of just like,
take it with a grain of salt, don't take it
too serious. I would say, none of those people have
come up to me in persons to say anything, so
it's like that's a whole different beast. But on the Internet,
I'm like, Okay, I don't really take it too serious.

(34:51):
In days that I feel like are harder than others,
I'm like, let me put my phone away for a while.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
I deleted everything off of my phone because it makes
you just want to shut down.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah, I was just like, you know what, I'm not
even gonna look at this because you go on Twitter
and you can't, like cater what you're going to see.
You can't you just go in there and you're like,
I see this. I didn't want to see that. I
clicked on this video. I wish I could take my
eyes out now. But no, it's fine. There's also a

(35:21):
lot of beauty in the Internet and a lot of accessibility,
and now it's the ultimate marketing tool. And I learned
so much on the Internet and from random people, I
don't know, more than I learned in school sometimes, So
there is a lot of power in the Internet. But
the downside is that you can't really control what you see.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, that's so true. I hate that expore page because
I'll see something like this is not why we.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Need to keep it positive, sweetie social media platform Ashana.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Lest I like it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
We were just filming and we had a scene where
some of our girls said something.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
I was like, I went like this like and I
was like, what the key is we doing?

Speaker 3 (36:08):
But my sister came home like, I'm like, what is this?

Speaker 1 (36:15):
What is it? Okay?

Speaker 3 (36:17):
And now all of a sudden, I'm like, right, exactly.
It catches on quick quick. Yes, my sister says the
craziest stuff sometimes I don't understand. In a week later,
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
I bet she keeps you like updated on all that.
Oh yeah, I'm like, Jody, is this cute? Like tell me.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
She's like, you need to pop in more on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
You need to do that.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
I'm like, joy, this is just not me anymore. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, you evolved, yeah, evolving, And I know for me,
I have I feel a sense of responsibility when it
comes to the people that follow me and even just like.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
What I'm putting out there, do you are you like
cautious as well, like what you post because you know
the impact and especially the young women that we have
an impact on.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Yeah, I would say I try to not take it
too serious with still being mindful because you know, I
do have a sister that's almost ten years younger than
me that I want to look up to me and
her friends and her they all come to me for advice. Yeah,
because I've been through a lot of different scenarios and
things and relationships or you name it. But also I

(37:24):
feel like it's important to not take it too serious. Yeah,
like still show people you can have a good time
and be cute and love your body and post. But
I think it's like a responsibility but also just a
personal thing where I just I don't know, I can't

(37:46):
bring myself to post certain things anymore. I don't even
know what change. I'm like, I don't want to be
this girl, like I was always the youngest one. Now
I'm twenty seven, but I still ime flew. I was
just twenty one, right, and then COVID happened, and I

(38:08):
just feel like we were robbed a.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
So much time. Yes, no, seriously, that was so much time. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Yeah, And like that's all my twenties, most of my
youngest twenties and during that time. Yeah, but I mean
life is life is beautiful.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
It is it is. Take me on.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Just the day to day, like what is a day
in the Lifelike with Jordan's Woods.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
The day in the life normally starts with waking up,
snoozing my alarm four times, finally getting us. I'm like,
let me set this at seven, So if I have
to leave it at like eight point thirty, I could snooze, yes,
because like I don't sleep, So I'll go to sleep
at like three and still go to work out at eight. Wow,

(38:57):
So go work out now, I'll come back showered. Then
I probably have to hop on some meeting, zoom emails, whatever,
because between the talks and then my What's by Jordan
stuff that I'm working on, it's a lot and a
lot of people have a lot of employees and stuff.
I kind of do a lot of stuff on my

(39:17):
own because it keeps that control as well as like
I've had partners in the past where I feel like
things didn't go as planned. So I try to do
it all myself. But that requires a lot more time.
It does so right now since we're kind of doing
a big launch with What's by Jordan, we're venturing into
a new kind of space, which I don't think I

(39:41):
really have said that to anyone, is that we're working
on footwear.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Oh I'm excited because yeah, is you're actually your whole wardrobe.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
I am not wearing my own shoes right now, just
because I only have prototypes right now. I wasn't loving
how I was sitting, so I am not and say
it's not It's good that I'm not wearing my own stuck.
It's okay, but but you're getting to write I am
getting it right. The other day, I like wore it
out just to see it, and I was like, nah,
I'm not but we're so close. But for me, it's

(40:14):
like shopping. Maybe I don't know if you have this
issue or not, but you can like go to buy
these different shoes or like shark boots or whatever, and
you're like, this is not made for people.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
With cats, legs, anything or anything.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
And I felt like that was a problem for me.
So I wanted to create a range of footwear that
kind of solved that issue where it was versatile for
people of all cat sizes in size sizes, so.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Oh yeah, they don't like this?

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Who who is this fitting? So I have been working
on that and I'm really excited because they're really fire.
And my goal is to have them at a very
affordable rate and accessible because I feel like then people
are putting things out and I'm like, who's spending one

(41:05):
thousand dollars for these? In real life, we're not in
that type of we're here, we're not also we all,
whether you're an influencer, celebrity, or just a normal person.
Once you post it on Instagram, you're like, Okay, I'm
not gonna I'm not trying to wear this again. Like
I want you to have the ability to buy one.

(41:27):
And if you're like, okay, now I want to buy
the next one, you don't have to think about it
too too.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Yeah, so that's my goal.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Are you like them being accessible, design of it to
and being creative with it?

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Yeah? With everything?

Speaker 1 (41:41):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Yeah, And so a lot of people like the white
label their stuff and I'm just I'm doing everything and
it's from scribe. So it's taking time and people on
social media like you forgot about what's But Jordan, I
have this one fan who is like she wants me
to be the best, so I appreciate that, but like

(42:02):
she is so hard on me. She's like, are you
going to be lazy this year or are you I'm like,
I've been in the kitchen, bro I can work. But
it's fine. It's fine. It's just funny that people's perception.
But it all takes a lot of time. But now
we're like full force. The talks is coming, the shoes
are coming. It's all so right now. It's really chaotic.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
That's where you're saying you have a hard time balancing
it all.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Yes, and I know back to I'm just talking, talking, talking,
but you were saying day in the life. So it
consists of like between that that working out and then
if Carl has a game or something, I'm like, okay,
I have until six o'clock. Then I gotta get ready
and I gotta do this, and then do it all
again the next day.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
And then I see you, like, do your own makeup
sometimes before the games?

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Like, oh I do, yeah, every time You're like, I
didn't do my own makeup today. I have a girl
here that I like, okay, But every other most of
the time, I do my own makeup.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
For everything.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
It looks so good, always look beautiful, but the fact
that like throughout you're doing all that throughout the day
and then it still take.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Time, and I like get dressed in ten minutes. I
don't know what I'm wearing. I never know what I'm
gonna wear.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
This morning, I was like, I.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Had two options. I packed for this trip twenty minutes
before I had to leave. Oh wow, so I just
threw some stuff in my back.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
I feel like we're like twins. No, I literally do that,
Like do you we need to get it together? No,
before a flight, I will pack like I just didn't
warn it. Like that's me.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Yeah, I'm like I had I'm tired, I'll do this tomorrow.
But I'm trying to be better. I'm trying to be better,
but sometimes life is unforeseen.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
It is.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
And we were almost twins today because I actually almost
wore Shanna you know that.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
I don't know what, but I have a cropped trench
just like that.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
It was laid out and I was like, oh, I
could wear this, and then I grab this, but we
literally were no twins.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
It's just I feel like a lot more people could
relate to a lot of stuff that we're talking about too. Sure,
it all seems clamorous, but like I'm telling you, if
you followed me on a day, maybe my surroundings are a
little bit glamorous and stuff. But I'm like, not as
spoogy as people think.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
It's saying me neither, Like my friends will tell you.
For a year, I walked around with my reading glasses.
They had a safety pan hold them together because I
stepped on.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
Them one morning, like these are my favorite ones.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Listen, and like literally I had a safety pan on
because I stepped on and broke the arm off, and
I was like, shoot, I'll have time to go to
the adopt to get another pair.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
So I just like fixed the naked work. So I
finally got a new glass. They're like, no, bring the
other ones.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
It's stylish. You could create a trend. But if people
saw me on the day, they're like this girl, They're like,
you could afford another pair of glasses.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
I'm like, this keeps me grounded.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
No, I know, it's just you have the things that you.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Like, and you have your things. I do for sure,
that is for sure. I want to play a quick
game with you. Let's see we already talking. We got

like it. Ritzia, Oh my god, yeah, classic. I'm just like,
let me go get a good body suit. I know
if I go to a Ritzy, I know I'm gonna
find what I'm looking for.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
So true, I love a Ritzia. If you could swap
lives with anyone for a day, who would it be
and why? I don't know, because I feel like people's
lives are not with what you think. We see a
snapshot and we're like.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Whose life do I think is just so fabulous?

Speaker 1 (47:00):
M hm.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Hmm. That's really tough. I'm sure though you're right though
you don't know, you don't really know, And people like
that post that they have a lot of things going on,
or like, oh they're on pj's or there's sometimes it's
so shallow.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
It's like you have that, but there's no like real
love and like.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
And obviously that's not the case with everyone. Yeah, I
would say, who's living on an island right now.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
Well, Tyler Perry has his own island.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Yeah, so maybe Tyler Perry.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
All right, what's one of the what's one thing most
people don't know about you that you wish they did know.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
It?

Speaker 3 (47:51):
I would say my work ethic, Yeah, because I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
I'm listening to you talk. I'm like, this girl is brilliant.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah, like all the things you have going on. Looking
at your Instagram would have had no idea.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
No one never knows, which is fine, but I do
kind of want to share that with them a little
bit more. Take them on like a day in the life.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
You sure, just even you vloggers, they can see you,
like in your meetings.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
I'm so bad at vlogging. I need someone to do
the blogging found the worst.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Like I bought a little DGI camera.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I bought that too. I used to like twice yep.
And I'm like, see, why do I keep buying these
cameras and I'm not going to use them.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
Exactly seem like ohyah, I'm gonna use it. Girl, I
do not.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Use it, or you'll start the day and then you're
like halfway through.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Jordan, It's like, oh, I've just missed all the good stuff.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
I'm like, great, this was what I needed to catch.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
The plus side of that is that we're being present,
but then we're not getting the that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
I'm too present that I need someone to just document.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
That's yeah, no, for sure.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
What has been the best piece of advice you've ever received?

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Hmmm, best piece of advice? I wouldn't say it's from
a person. I read this book, the Four Agreements, and
I would say that kind of theory of the four
Agreements was really great advice. Don't take anything personal, which
is what I said before. People are projecting their insecurities.

(49:20):
Be a person of your word. What's the other two.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Can you remember? I can't remember. Do you know the
four agreements? What the other four? Two agreements of the
four agreements?

Speaker 3 (49:34):
But I look it up, then you'll understand.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah, exactly, So good that I read the book I read, Yes,
they have another they have a.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Few, but they have a fifth agreement or something like that.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
I haven't read that. Yeah, so good.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
And then when you have downtime, what is something that
you like to do to unwind?

Speaker 3 (49:55):
I've been really into watching shows, and I didn't I
wasn't a show Person four, but being in New York
it's so cold that I'm like, yeah, there, it's like
being in New York it's so cold. I'm like, I'm
gonna watch a show. So I watched Sevens, which was amazing.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
I haven't watching it.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Yeah, White Lotus right now. Yes, I actually watched Beauty
in Black crazy, crazy, crazy. I didn't watch the second
seron and yet, but that was crazy.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
I'm like, I.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Wasn't expecting any of this. What else did I watch?
I watched Game of Thrones for the first time this
past year. You just got on it. Yeah, I can't
even like season three and was cooked. I just got
on it. It took me six months to finish, but
it was so good. I finished a couple months ago. Yeah,

(50:47):
I don't know. It's just been watching all different types
of shows.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
What I can't thinking of Sterling?

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Okay, Paradise, Baby, How could I forget Paradise? That was
one of my favorite. I watched this here the second season.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah, so happy that got renewed.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
No, he's so good. He's such a good person. I
feel like I watched the interviews with him and they
give such good energy.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Yes, God, yeah, I love them. I love that.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Okay, before we close out, we have what is called
positive outcomes.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
That's where our listeners write into us and we give
them advice.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Okay, So this one is from Shary Holder and Sherry says,
what strategies can I employ to enhance self confidence and
redirect my focus towards personal development and self improvement in
my career path? Well, Sherry, I would say, first for
me when it comes to like self improvement and when
it comes to even just my business, and what I'm

(51:47):
trying to do is how I start the day, like
you talked about like your morning routine, having some type
of like system in place. How you start the day
is how you're going to finish it just kind of
flows throughout the rest of the day. When it comes
to business, if you didn't go to school for it,
I would get books so that you can educate yourself,
especially on whatever it is that your career path is.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
And I would also what I've been.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Doing is studying the people that are successful in the area.
So like I'm huge on Emmigre, Like this woman is
just the most Oh yeah, she's amazing. She's so powerful
and just her energy and just she's a mom she's
a wife, she's a businesswoman all the things, and she's someone.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
If I thought I had a lot of stuff to do.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Babe, that woman is busy, like so I was. I
would study.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
She even posts like the books that she read to
like have a better understanding. So I kind of just
like follow out to people I read in one of
the books that she had recommended was don't try to
reinvent the wheel. Like it's whatever's working. It works, So
take that and then add your own little spin on it.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
But you don't have to. I got to figure out
a whole new way to do this. Yeah, that's what
I would do. Definitely.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
I would say set your intentions, like you said, it
goes hand in hand with creating my everroutine schedule, and
then set goals, short term goals and long term goals,
because sometimes you can get really overwhelmed by having like, oh,
I want to be a billionaire, but you don't have
a strategy or a short term goal to get there.
We all want to be a billionaire. So I would say, like,

(53:16):
set daily goals, set weekly goals, and then set monthly goals,
and then you'll have yearly goals or five year goals.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
But like for me, I start with how can I
be better today? And then how can that transcend to
the next week and then the following week, whether it's
like all right, I really need to drink more water.
So now each day I'm gonna hit this mark, I'm
going to show up for myself. I'm going to do this,
and then slowly becomes a routine, it becomes a part

(53:45):
of you, and then you can just keep getting better, growing, expanding,
whether that's business, life, love whatever.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
I love it. Yeah, thank you, Jordan, thank you. This
has been amazing.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
I'm so glad we got to sit down and yes,
I know that I learned a lot more about you.
So proud of everything you've accomplished and everything that you've overcome.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
You are glowing, shining and doing the thing. No, you're
doing it, hy thank you.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
A friend of mine, Sean Finney, I used to always say, yeah,
I'm trying to do these, just South saying I'm trying
you're doing it.

Speaker 3 (54:15):

I'm doing it.
