Hampton, that truth came through a series of intentional pivots.Jordan began his career as a high school math teacher and coach, evolved into an athletic director managing people, pressure, and large budgets, and eventually transitioned into financial planning, not to sell products, but to help people make thoughtful, long-term decisions about their lives.In this conversation, we talk about burnout, identity shifts, leadership, financial literacy, and the difference between gambling and investing. Jordan shares what finally pushed him to make a change, how his background in education shapes the way he works with clients today, and why clarity comes from action, not having everything figured out.
