In this heartfelt episode, Jordan and Vanessa reflect on their son Oliver’s first day of kindergarten and the emotions it stirred. They explore how perspective shapes our experience of life events—whether we view them as loss of freedom or opportunities for growth—and share the powerful mantra, “This is great for now. Let’s see how it goes.”

They dive deep into the importance of having a clear vision as your North Star, guided by the emotional compass within. From creating their original “Life I Choose” document in West Texas with no clear means, to living out the dream years later on the beach with their family, they reveal how clarity, emotional alignment, and consistent micro-decisions create extraordinary results.

The conversation also unpacks the evolution from seeking passive income to building passion income, the role of creation versus consumption in fulfillment, and practical steps for anyone ready to design their own Life I Choose document—starting with the “Core Four” categories: body, money, relationships, and career.

Episode 13 is both an intimate family milestone story and a powerful guide to living intentionally, proving that extraordinary clarity and joy come not from circumstances, but from how we choose to perceive and create them.
