  • Just A Grand Old Time With Jordan P Williams

    Let me just say, this a rowdy ride. We sing! (It’s not great). There’s mention of past traumas. Do we talk about cults? No, because I cut that part out! We do talk about why not to do entrepreneurship full time, whether you should chase legacy, what it means for work to resonate, how to find an audience, the best way to amass wealth (the answer is quietly).

    You can follow Jordan @jpwills23 on Instagram and learn more about him!
