EP#6 | Don’t Make a Living, Design a Life: Is College the Best Pathway for You with Jordan Paris

His mantra is don’t make a living, design a life. This isn’t coming from an individual who is reflecting back upon their life and sharing advice, this is coming from 22 year old Jordan Paris who is designing a life that most would envy and he is here today to share his story and strategies for how you can do so as well. 

Jordan is an author, entrepreneur and podcaster who has been featured in Forbes, Men’s Health, NASDAQ and many others. We talk about the importance of cultivating a growth mindset and Jordan lives this practice as a host of Growth Mindset University - ranking in the top ten in a number of competitive categories not just in the United States but worldwide. Some of his guests include James Altucher, Grant Cardone, Mark Manson, Naveen Jain and Dan Lok and later this year he is giving his first Ted Talk. Jordan also just released another book, “The Winning Game Plan to Build an Audience and Make Money as a Podcaster.”

This is an episode you will want to share far and wide because Jordan’s story could be the motivation and advice someone needs to begin step one in designing their life.

In this episode Jordan shares:

• His journey as an entrepreneur and why he believes college could be a waste of your time
• The opportunities young people have today and why he wrote, “The Podcast Playbook.”
