Hey everyone, Jordan Yates here! Join me as I look back on a wild year full of ups and downs. We've got it all: my podcast journey, the growth of my marketing firm, and the rollercoaster that's been my personal life. Think of this as more than just another business story - it's filled with laughs, some facepalm moments, and a bunch of unexpected lessons.

I'll take you through everything, from the early podcast days to the growth of Jordan Yates Marketing. It's been a crazy balancing act, but I've managed to keep the unique charm that makes my brand what it is. I'm going to be super open about how my services have evolved, the tricky stuff around pricing, and my battles with that sneaky imposter syndrome.

Wrapping up this episode, I'm laughing at how much I can talk - I could probably out-talk the Energizer Bunny! But here's the thing: your support and curiosity are what keep this project alive, and I can't thank you enough for that. Big thanks to all of you for being part of this journey with me. Stay tuned, stay curious, and remember, the mistakes you hear about in the next episode might just be the key to your own success.

In this episode of the podcast, host Jordan Yates interviews Robert Derringer, a manufacturing professional & host of his own podcast 'The Humpty Project', about his experience navigating cancel culture and diversity in the manufacturing industry as a white man.

Robert shares how the media overhypes the idea of 'canceling' his demographic and that in reality, he hasn't actually faced legitimate hardship. If anything, these conversations have opened his eyes to the privileges he may have unknowingly experienced and now he is working harder than ever to support the efforts towards diversity and inclusion.

Robert notes how he has learned that his voice 'lands different' amongst his demographic and utilizes it to be in a position to be an ally to the DEI cause. He is passionate about learning to better himself and the organizations he is a part of to be more inclusive, sensitive, and aware of how he can be a part of the change.
