On this episode of A Moment with Mart, I bring you Jordan Schmaltz. It was an electric show with Jswish 93.1 as we dove into many topics around sports, media, and life identities. I first met Jordan years ago when he played in the National Hockey League. He became a part of the early crowd and a staple in the Mt. Rushmore of professional hockey players I trained. 

Jordan has always been witty and intelligent, but what stands out is his unique ability to remain himself as he tries to find new opportunities. He's authentic, and his current awareness has brought him to the media world. He runs a variety of podcasts and has traveled the country this last year doing live shows. From comedic relief to hockey broadcasting, you will quickly discover that he has a range of depth.
