Frequency with Rick Jordan

You keep saying you want more. More success. More clarity. More courage to go after the thing that keeps sitting in the back of your mind.

But the truth is most people stop feeding the part of them that believes bigger is even possible. They scroll. They react. They stay stuck in the same thoughts and wonder why nothing changes.

In this conversation Rick talks about reading, audiobooks, habit stacking, millionaire habits, and the self limiting belief that keeps people saying things like “I’m just not a reader.” He breaks down how he went from hating books to using audiobooks during workouts and travel to keep filling his mind with ideas that create motion.

What Rick explores in this episode:

• Why successful people keep feeding their mind even when life is already full
• How audiobooks can work when sitting down with a book just does not fit your rhythm
• The simple habit of attaching learning to something you already do every day
• Why biographies matter when you need proof that somebody else has already walked through hard things
• How new ideas can make your old dream feel possible again

Rick sits down with Samantha Peters, a trauma recovery advocate and founder of Light Up Your Life Collective, for a conversation about survival patterns, self-worth, and what it actually takes to break cycles that were normalized early in life.

A lot of people grow up adapting to chaos without realizing it. You learn to stay quiet. Keep the peace. Read the room. Minimize yourself so nobody explodes. And eventually those survival patterns stop feeling like survival… and start feeling like personality. Until one day you realize your entire life has been built around staying safe instead of being honest.

In this conversation, Samantha Peters shares the reality of growing up around addiction, instability, emotional abuse, and people-pleasing, while Rick pushes deeper into what healing actually means once the buzzwords disappear. They unpack trauma responses, narcissism becoming a social media trend, why people normalize unhealthy relationships, and the uncomfortable truth that some of the thoughts controlling your life were never yours to begin with. 

In this interview you’ll learn:

• Why people-pleasing is often a survival response, not kindness
• How childhood instability quietly shapes adult relationships
• The difference between real narcissistic abuse and everyday conflict
• Why turning down the noise helps you finally hear yourself clearly
• How introspection exposes beliefs you never consciously chose

Most people think money problems are about not having enough. But for a lot of entrepreneurs, the real problem is something else. You work harder. Make more. Grow the business. Then wonder where all of it went. And every year feels like you're starting over again.

Rick is joined by financial strategist Mike Milligan for a conversation that goes far beyond taxes, investments, and retirement accounts. Because money isn't just about numbers. It's about choices. Freedom. Time. Family. And whether the life you're building is actually aligned with what matters most.

In this conversation, Mike Milligan, who has spent decades helping entrepreneurs create long-term financial freedom, challenges one of the biggest assumptions people make about wealth. The goal isn't maximizing income. It's maximizing options. Together, he and Rick unpack why most people wait too long to plan, why retirement has changed completely, and why money can either create fear or create freedom depending on how intentional you are with it.

In this interview you'll learn:

• Why taxes should be a year-round strategy instead of a once-a-year event
• The hidden difference between making money and keeping it
• How retirement has changed from an ending into a new chapter
• Why location, lifestyle, and taxes all affect what your money is actually worth
• How intentional planning creates more freedom than simply earning more income

You say something. Post something. Video something. And suddenly someone thinks it’s about them. They get defensive. Frustrated. Maybe even angry. And now you’re stuck wondering if you crossed a line... or if they’re hearing something you didn’t actually say.

This happens more than people admit. Especially if you’re willing to speak directly. Because the truth has a way of landing where it’s already sensitive. And when it does, people don’t always look inward. They look at you.

In this conversation, Rick breaks down what’s really happening when someone takes your words personally. Why people project their own frustration onto you. And how to respond without backing off your message or making it worse. This isn’t about walking on eggshells. It’s about staying grounded, handling it cleanly, and knowing the difference between responsibility and reaction.

What Rick explores in this episode:

• Why people assume your message is about them when it isn’t
• What’s actually happening when someone gets triggered by your words
• How to respond without escalating or shutting down
• The difference between speaking truth and making it personal
• Why checking your own intent still matters every time

Rick sits down with Blake Bauer, an author and counselor known for challenging the way people think about healing, self-worth, and personal responsibility.

You might say you want to feel better. Less anxious. Less stuck. More clear. But if you’re honest, there are still parts of your life you’re avoiding. Patterns you keep repeating. Pain you keep blaming on where you came from instead of what you’re doing with it now. This conversation doesn’t let you stay comfortable in that.

In this conversation, Blake Bauer, who has spent decades helping people break destructive cycles and rebuild from the inside out, makes a direct claim most people don’t want to hear. Healing doesn’t start with understanding your past. It starts when you stop using it as a reason to stay the same. Together, he and Rick go into what it actually takes to stop numbing, stop performing, and take ownership of your life without excuses.

In this interview you’ll learn:

• Why blaming your past quietly keeps your patterns alive
• What self-sabotage actually looks like when you’re honest about it
• The difference between numbing pain and actually resolving it
• Why success on the outside doesn’t fix what’s broken underneath
• What it really means to take responsibility for your life

Rick sits down with Erik Huberman, and if you’ve been pulled into the idea that business is supposed to be fast, easy, and passive, this will hit different.

You see the ads. Ten thousand a month. Two hours a day. Everyone calling themselves an entrepreneur. But something about it doesn’t add up. And deep down, you know it.

In this conversation, Erik Huberman, founder of Hawk Media who has scaled hundreds of brands, breaks down what actually builds a business. Why most people are chasing the title instead of the work. Why luck matters more than people admit. And why the only thing that consistently wins is showing up and doing the hard things over and over again.

They also go into what’s changing right now. AI, marketing saturation, and the noise online. And why none of it replaces effort, judgment, or integrity.

In this interview you’ll learn:

• why most “entrepreneur” paths online are built to sell you something
• how real businesses grow through consistency not shortcuts
• what luck actually means and why it still requires action
• why AI won’t replace you but will expose you if you don’t adapt
• how to build something worth keeping instead of chasing an exit

Rick sits down with you on this one, because if you’ve been feeling off, tired, foggy, or just not like yourself lately, you already know it.

You don’t need another diagnosis. You don’t need another label. You need to look at what you’re actually doing every day… and what you’ve been ignoring.

In this conversation, Rick breaks down seven reasons you feel like crap, and none of them are complicated. Food. Sleep. Movement. Water. Fear. Gratitude. The basics people say they care about but don’t actually follow. And while social feeds are full of “morning routines” and “dopamine hacks,” the truth is simpler than that.

What Rick explores in this episode:

• why your daily habits are either giving you energy or draining it
• how sleep and routine quietly control how you feel every day
• what most people get wrong about food and energy levels
• why fear keeps you stuck even when nothing is actually happening
• how gratitude shifts your mindset when everything feels off

Rick sits down with Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith, and if you think betrayal is simple, this is going to challenge you fast.

It wasn’t just porn. It wasn’t just lies. It wasn’t just one person messing up. It was years of silence, sexual shame, and a relationship that looked strong on the outside but was already breaking underneath.

In this conversation, Matthew and Joanna, who rebuilt their marriage after addiction, secrecy, and collapse, talk about what actually creates betrayal. The oppressive church messaging around sex. The lack of real conversations. The pressure to perform instead of being honest. And how both people end up stuck in cycles that keep making things worse.

They also get real about what rebuilding actually looks like. Not surface fixes. The hard conversations about sex most couples never have. Even sitting down and asking each other what is actually on the table for sex, what is not, and what needs to change if intimacy is ever going to be real again.

In this interview you’ll learn:

• why betrayal is usually the result of patterns that were already there
• how sexual shame and religious messaging quietly damage intimacy
• what a real “pain cycle” looks like when both people are triggered
• why trying to control your partner destroys trust instead of rebuilding it
• how couples actually rebuild intimacy through honest conversations about sex

You say you want change. A different job. A better relationship. A life that actually feels like yours. But the way you talk about your situation still sounds like getting there is worse than suffering now. That’s the part no one wants to admit.

In this conversation, Rick walks through the moment where you stop waiting and start taking ownership. He challenges the way people answer the “magic wand” question and exposes how even in imagining a better life, most people still build in limits.

What Rick explores in this episode:

• why playing the victim quietly keeps you stuck longer than you realize
• how you limit your own vision before anything even starts
• the difference between wanting change and actually choosing it
• why small actions matter more than waiting for the perfect moment
• how to start living what you say you want right now
