"Dying is like falling asleep. You don't realize it until you wake up." Jordon Schroeter

Speaker, Advocate, Comic, Pastor (with a Masters), and Award-Winning Film Maker Jordan Schroeter wasn't supposed to live past the age of 2 years old. 

Here is in, in his third decade - from an electric wheelchair with all the spunk of anyone's new best pal. Schroeter has Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Type 1. He transparently shares what it means to continue to lose muscle mass and usage and the choice of finding moments to celebrate.

He says his severe disability is not the source of issues. Listen to our chat to learn what is the source, and maybe you'll resonate with much of what he has to say.  I know I did. 

You'll laugh as hard as I did when he answers my infamous question: Do you have a prank or dare story to share?

If you want a speaker who truly can inspire, motivate, affect the group, and evoke some laughter, seek Jordan Schroeter. 

Jordan can be found on most social media, and at Jordan River of Life Coaching & Speaking.

Search for his TEDxOshKosh talk, it was quite incredible and he shares his favorite pick up line, too!  (Of course it's also in this episode because it's a hoot).
