Entrepreneur, investor, and podcaster Rick Jordan joins host Julie Lokun on the Creative Entrepreneur Podcast for a raw, energizing masterclass on mindset, money as energy, and what it really means to be “all in.” Rick shares how he leapt from Geek Squad in Chicago to building a public company, why generosity multiplies opportunities, and how to model ambition (and honesty) for your kids—without losing your soul or your marriage.

You’ll hear candid stories about health scares, haters close to home, and the exact moment Rick stopped playing small. If you’ve ever said, “I don’t have the money/support/time,” this episode is your loving call-out—and your blueprint.

You’ll learn:

• Rick’s “All In” rule: give 100% of what you’ve got today—even if that’s only 40%

• The shift from complacency to momentum (and how to spot your rest cycles)

• Money as energy: why generosity attracts 100x returns (and how to receive)

• Parenting while building: proximity, car-ride conversations, and modeling courage

• Handling the dark side of success—trolls, shifting relationships, and growth gaps

• Turning faith into practical resilience (without guilt around wealth)
