In this episode, host John Duffin interviews Ken Jordan. Ken is the Branch Manager, Loan Officer for the Premier Mortgage Team at Princeton Mortgage. We delve into various topics related to achieving early business success, including insights from Ken's experience navigating an earlier restaurant career. Lots of cursing, crying, and yelling (think Gordon Ramsay). Don't miss Ken & JD discussing the significance of sales skills received from Ken's Yellow Pages experience, and the principles of running a business where continuous learning is paramount. Pay particular attention to Ken's split-second decision in shifting his rituals and "joining" the 5 AM Club. You'll find that timing (and action) equate to significant results. Ken highlights the impacts of his 'Big 3' traits—skill set, mindset, and habits—and how these traits drive him to stronger relationships and increased success. Additional takeaways include the importance of surrounding yourself with inspiring people, trying new things, and finding happiness through progress rather than mere attainment. I am a huge fan and a friend of Ken Jordan. In addition to being a highly influential money man, Ken also hosts a series of podcasts (I have been fortunate to guest on Ken's "Selling the Dream" podcast). Ken is currently also hosting a series of mini-podcasts (five minutes, three questions) which are well worth your attention. The episode references a preview of Ken's upcoming quarterly workbook, designed to help you track and encourage your growth. If you're able, make sure to grab a copy.

Send us a textHey my beautiful friends! This week, we're taking a bit of a different trail on the Project Weight Loss path—same concept of losing the things weighing you down. And money, has a way of triggering us, but it can also be something that helps us and others. So, we are hiking not just a money trail, a brick-and-mortar trail; rather, a heart-led journey through real estate and finances.Through this process of prepping for my Pacific Crest Trail hike (yes! Cascade Locks, here I come), I've been reflecting on how much real estate and money choices have shaped my life—and how much they mirror the work we do on ourselves.In this episode, I share personal lessons from decades of experience—owning homes, duplexes, apartment buildings, and learning the art of investing with both strategy and soul. We talk about teams, trust, risk, opportunity cost, and why it's never about how much you have—but how I used it to improve my life and the lives of others. Whether you're just starting to think about buying a home, building wealth, or setting up your legacy, this episode is here to spark curiosity, courage, and clarity. Join me—and let's get financially fit, emotionally grounded, and purposefully wealthy. “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” – Benjamin Franklin  [Disclaimer]The content of this podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

The Drama Addiction: When Life Imitates Fiction We've all felt the magnetic pull of a good story, the kind filled with conflict, mystery, and turmoil that keeps us glued to the screen. But what happens when our love for fictional chaos doesn't end when the credits roll? This talk explores our "drama addiction," the unsettling idea that we unconsciously sabotage our own peace in an effort to make our lives a more compelling, if not happier, story. We will delve into why we are so often the authors of our own unrest and ask the crucial question: is a peaceful life what we truly want? New Happiness Podcast episode with Dr. Robert Puff, Newport Beach Psychologist

In this episode, Jordan sits down with spiritual teacher Asha Nayaswami, for a rich conversation on the power of vibration, magnetism, and divine guidance. Asha shares powerful insights on how thoughts are not created but received, likening our minds to radio receivers tuned into universal frequencies. She speaks on the importance of aligning with higher vibrations through meditation, devotion, right action, and selfless service. Drawing from her decades of experience, she opens up about the real mechanics behind manifestation and energy, clarifying that true magnetism is not about shortcuts or surface-level affirmations, but about the deep vibrational quality of our consciousness. From grief and spiritual connection with loved ones who have passed, to the chaos of modern relationships, Asha offers grounded wisdom on how we can shift our awareness toward light, even when darkness surrounds us. She explains how spiritual abundance, whether financial, emotional, or relational, begins with gratitude and presence, with doing the very best we can with what we have now. With clarity, humor, and depth, this episode challenges the surface-level ideas of spirituality and invites us all to consider: What frequency am I living on, and what might happen if I tuned into something higher?

Intentional Living, Lasting Happiness "Have you ever had one of those days, or maybe even one of those weeks, where you feel like you're just... on autopilot? The alarm goes off, you grab your coffee, you go through the motions of work, you handle your responsibilities, and before you know it, the day is over. You're busy, you're productive, but are you... happy? We tend to think of happiness as this magical thing that just happens to us. Like a lightning strike or winning the lottery. We think, 'I'll be happy when I get the promotion,' or 'when I go on vacation,' or 'when the kids are grown.' We treat it like a destination we hope to arrive at someday. But what if that's all wrong? What if a good, happy, peaceful life isn't something you find, but something you build? I'm Dr. Robert Puff and welcome to “Intentional Living, Lasting Happiness”. This is the podcast for anyone who is ready to stop drifting and start steering. We're founded on one simple, but life-changing idea: you have to actively work for a life of joy and peace. In this episode, we're going to explore this idea by coming back to one central, powerful question. A question to ask yourself in the big moments and the small ones. That question is: 'Is what I am doing right now moving me in the direction of a happier life?' It's not about perfection; it's about direction. So, let's get into it. Let's learn how to work at it, together." New Happiness Podcast episode with Dr. Robert Puff, Newport Beach Psychologist
