Episode 10 – Jordan Chavous

Jordan and I met through one of Joy Ike’s cultivator chats a few months ago. I heard him talking about how he was considering starting a podcast, and I was just getting ready to launch mine. I knew I wanted to have him on at some point to talk about it, and here it is. I really appreciated Jordan’s honesty and transparency, and in listening to the first episode of his new podcast, Convos with Jordan Chavous, I knew we would have a great conversation as well. Be sure to check out his website to find his podcast as well!
