Jordan Goodfellow was sick of being told he was "non-essential" by the state of Colorado, so packed up his family and moved to Florida, where his business has expanded and his faith has impacted a ton of lives.
It's been just one of many chapters of his life where an adventure has brought him the chance to learn, grow, and share his faith.
From touring with Linkin Park (and being the only guy not drinking and partying) to surviving COVID while running a business that relied on in-person events, this episode is packed with stories of real resilience, and a life forged by overcoming challenge.
This is what it means to be a business owner in Florida, a father, a man of faith, and someone who makes every day of their life count toward a dream and vision bigger than themselves.
