Feeling overwhelmed lately? You're not alone. Between everything happening in the world and the walls closing in on your personal life, it's easy to feel like you're trapped in a room with no doors. But here's what I know about feeling overwhelmed. It's not because life is too hard. It's because you're thinking too small. Most people make the same mistake when they feel overwhelmed. They start analyzing how they got into that situation. They beat themselves up. They think about what they could have done differently. That's the wrong path. That's small thinking. And small thinking keeps you stuck. I learned this lesson in Hawaii looking up at Diamond Head mountain. I saw people hiking up the hard way. Step by step. Rock by rock. Getting tired. Getting overwhelmed. Then I saw a helicopter fly by. That's when it hit me. There's always a bigger way to think about your problems. A faster way. A simpler way. Stop analyzing the past. Stop beating yourself up. Start thinking bigger. Start thinking faster. Start thinking simpler. Build your freaking helicopter and fly over those obstacles instead of climbing through them. That's how you go from overwhelmed to unstoppable.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

This episode hits different. My friend Cammy Bowker is back and she's bringing the heat about something every parent needs to hear. Cammy is CEO of Global Education Philanthropist and she's been boots on the ground fighting human trafficking for years. Not sitting behind a desk. Actually carrying rifles and wearing bulletproof vests to get kids out of hell. But here's what she's learned. Prevention beats rescue every single time. The rescue stories get the headlines. The prevention work saves lives. And it starts with having conversations that make you uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable. She's not here to sugarcoat anything. This woman has seen the darkest places on earth and she's telling you exactly what needs to happen. Stop being scared to talk to your kids about sex. About pornography. About the reality of what they're seeing online every single day. Because if you're not having these conversations someone else is. And that someone else might not have your kid's best interests at heart. This isn't about living in fear. This is about being a responsible parent who refuses to stick their head in the sand. Your kids are seeing pornography. They're getting messages from strangers. They're navigating a digital world that didn't exist when we were growing up. The least we can do is help them understand what they're dealing with.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Cammy: https://globalep.org/Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Cammy: Cammy Bowker is the founder of Global Education Philanthropists.

Had to talk about this today because too many people are stuck. Sitting in sadness like it's permanent. Like there's nothing they can do about it. Listen up. There's a massive difference between sadness and grief. Grief is real. When you lose someone. When something's actually gone forever. You process that. You feel it. You honor it. That's necessary. But sadness. That's different. Sadness is a perceived lack of options. Key word. Perceived. You got knocked down. Job loss. Relationship ended. Business failed. Whatever it is. You're sitting there thinking there's nothing you can do. That's bullshit. You have options. You just can't see them right now. The moment you ask yourself "What can I do about this" everything changes. Not "woe is me what can I do." But actually. What are my options here. Stop playing victim to your circumstances. Start looking for your options. They're there. You just have to be willing to see them.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

Had Andrea Marcellus on the show today. Fitness superwoman who's been crushing it for 34 years. Still looks incredible. More importantly. She gets it. Most fitness advice is complete bullshit. Designed for people who have all day to squeeze almond milk and meal prep. That's not you. That's not me either. Andrea works with high achievers. CEOs. Executives. People who actually have lives and responsibilities. People who don't have time for complicated systems that fall apart after two weeks. The mirror game she talks about. Brilliant. We all go to the mirror to check what's wrong. Not to celebrate what's right. That's where the real transformation starts. In your head. Not in some ridiculous diet plan. If you're a high performer who's tired of fitness plans that don't fit your actual life. This episode will change everything. Andrea gets it because she lives it. CEO of her own company. Not some trainer in a gym with unlimited time. Real strategies for real people with real responsibilities. That's what this conversation delivers.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Andrea: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-marcellus-b1625791/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Andrea: Andrea is a seasoned life strategist and fitness expert with 25 years of experience, managing a waitlist of diverse clients.

Listen up. I'm gonna give you some real talk today about something that's been eating at me. About how you handle your bad days. About the people who believe in you. And about the obligation you have to show up. Yeah I have bad days too. Days where I don't want to get out of bed at 6 AM. Days where I walk into my office and just don't feel like getting shit done. You know what I'm talking about because you're human just like me. Here's what I need you to understand. There's nothing wrong with having a bad day. Nothing wrong with feeling off sometimes. That's not a problem you need to fix. That's not an area of growth you need to work on. Sometimes everything is already okay with you and you can still feel these ways. But there's a threshold. A line you cannot cross. Because when your bad day becomes a bad week or a bad month, that's on you. That's a choice. That's you being lazy. And that lazy choice becomes pure disrespect to everyone who believes in you. When you allow yourself to stay stuck in that bad place for weeks or months, you're disrespecting every single person who chose to believe in you. You're disrespecting the obligations you chose to take on.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

This episode is different because Benjamin Netter gets it. This dude went from fashion to fintech to cybersecurity. Not because he planned it that way. Because he saw problems that needed solving. Benjamin founded Riot after running a fintech company handling hundreds of millions of euros. While he was spending massive money protecting complex systems, one employee clicked the wrong email. Changed everything. That's when he realized hackers aren't trying to crack some sophisticated code. They're going after Bob. You know Bob. Every company has a Bob who clicks on everything. So Benjamin started waking up two hours early. Building what would become Riot. Testing it on his own team first. The CFO was the first to fall for it. That was his wake-up call. The guy raised $12 million in Series A funding. Not by pitching some dream. By showing revenue. Showing results. Proving the concept works. That's how real business gets done. This episode is for every entrepreneur who thinks they need to reinvent everything. Sometimes the biggest opportunity is just making existing solutions actually work for people. Benjamin did that. Made cybersecurity human.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Benjamin: https://www.tryriot.com/aboutSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Benjamin : Benjamin is the Founder and CEO of Riot, a cybersecurity platform created for employee protection.

Millennials think they need a million dollars a year just to feel rich. And honestly? They're not wrong. With inflation crushing everything and home prices through the roof, a million a year is becoming the new baseline for financial freedom. I didn't start as a multi-millionaire twelve years ago. Had to learn this stuff the hard way. But here's what I discovered by studying other self-made millionaires and now looking at billionaires to see what's next. These aren't some theoretical bullshit tips. These are the actual hacks I use every single day. The stuff that separates people who dream about wealth from people who actually build it.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

This woman is absolutely incredible. Lindsey Graham - The Patriot Barbie - is back for her third time on ALL IN. That makes her my only three-time guest ever. And there's a damn good reason for that. Two years ago Lindsey was running a successful salon in Oregon with 25 stylists. Living her dream. Building her business. Then she made one decision that changed everything. She reopened during the lockdowns. Defied the mandates. Stood up for what she believed was right. The government came after her with everything they had. Cancel culture destroyed her career. She lost her entire business. Everything she'd built for 15 years. Gone. But here's what's incredible about this story. She didn't break. She didn't back down. She didn't apologize.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Lindsey: https://patriotbarbie.com/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Lindsey: Lindsey is a business owner who opened her salon against the government-mandated closure.

You're drowning in problems right now. I get it. Your desk looks like a war zone. Your mind's spinning in ten different directions. You feel like you're getting pulled everywhere and accomplishing nothing. Here's what's happening. You're trying to solve all your problems at once. That's why you're stuck. That's why nothing gets done. When you try to handle everything simultaneously you solve absolutely nothing. The solution is simple but not easy. Prioritize and execute. One problem at a time. Detach from the chaos so you can gain a fresh perspective. Stop letting emotions drive your decisions. Start saying "I got it" to one thing instead of panicking about everything. Your overwhelm isn't because you have too many problems. It's because you're approaching them wrong. Time to shift your focus and get after it.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

I sat down with Kris Dehnert, founder of Dugout Mugs and the man behind MLB's fastest-growing licensee. This conversation hits different. Kris shared his journey from getting fired from nearly every job to building a $30 million company selling mugs made from baseball bat barrels. What struck me most was his near-death experience with a ruptured appendix that completely transformed his mindset about business and life. His story of almost dying with a poison ball the size of a football inside him led to a complete shift—from chasing money to designing a lifestyle focused on family and experiences. Kris now lives unapologetically authentic, building deep relationships instead of shallow connections. We talked about the illusion of time and control, how failure is actually "entrepreneurial yoga," and why focusing on money actually creates money problems. This episode is packed with real talk about what actually matters when building a business and a life worth living.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Kris: http://Facebook.com/DugoutMugSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Kris: Over the last 14 years, I have found success in numerous verticals, including real estate, apparel, hard goods, affiliate marketing, strategic partnerships, etc... but my focus has really been rooted in eCommerce and social media where I have managed to surpass $60 million dollars in sales online. What makes my story a little more unique is that I did it on my terms. Sandals, shorts, backwards hats, and just being as genuine as I could be. I literally was FIRED from every (except one) job I ever had because I insisted on doing it my way... What I found is that I needed to create the "job" I wanted.

Take a good look at who you are today because this isn't who you were 5 years ago. Be grateful for that change even if you think your life is worse right now. You've gained wisdom. You've grown. You've learned things that are shaping your decisions today. But who are you going to be 5 years from now? That's what we're diving into. I'm sharing the five critical things that are actively shaping your future right now: the books you read, the people you surround yourself with, the habits you form, the food you eat, and the conversations you have. These aren't small factors. These are the foundations that determine everything about your future self. You can either intentionally shape who you'll become or let circumstances mold you into something you don't want to be. Choose wisely. Your future depends on it.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

This episode is one of the most honest and inspiring conversations I've ever had. My guest, David Wood, went from calculating risk for Fortune 100 companies to taking real risks himself—like acting in Dracula, pitching his heroes, and owning the stage despite anxiety and a fractured spine. We talk about the power of deliberate discomfort, and why choosing to be uncomfortable might be the best move you can make in life.David opens up about losing his sister, living through paragliding crashes, and battling PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Through all of it, he found a way to embrace vulnerability, lead with courage, and build momentum toward the life he actually wants. This episode will make you question what you've been avoiding—and hopefully give you the push to go for it. Whatever your “Dracula audition” is, it's time to show up.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with David: http://www.myfocusgift.com/Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout David: David is a former consulting actuary to Fortune 100 companies.

In this episode of ALL IN, I dive deep into the five most common regrets people experience at the end of their lives and how you can avoid them today. I explore why living true to yourself matters more than meeting others' expectations and why "working too hard" isn't really about work—it's about missing important moments with the people who matter. I share my personal experiences, including turning down a lucrative speaking gig to be present for my kids' 16th birthday, and why expressing your feelings is crucial for authentic relationships. I discuss the importance of maintaining meaningful friendships and why "letting yourself be happy" might be the most powerful choice you ever make. This episode is all about making choices today that your future self will thank you for, because where you are now is not where you're meant to stay.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this episode, I sat down with Kevin Palmary from Next Level University who's done over 800 episodes of his show. Kevin shared his incredible journey from rock bottom to podcast success. Despite having the car, the body, the model girlfriend, and money in the bank at 25, Kevin was empty inside - depressed, anxious, and insecure. His wake-up call came when he found himself on the edge of a hotel bed in New Jersey, contemplating ending his life because he felt so stuck. Instead, he went ALL IN on his podcast, left his six-figure job, ran up $35,000 in credit cards, and completely transformed his life. Kevin dropped some serious truth bombs about why most podcasts fail, why treating your podcast like a business matters more than chasing download numbers, and how vulnerability creates the bridge that connects people. If you're thinking about starting a podcast or growing the one you have, this episode is packed with insights you can't miss.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Kevin: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Kevin: Host of Top 100 Global Podcast "Next Level University" - 700+ Episodes, Listeners In Over 100 Countries. Some people find rock bottom... I found out that rock bottom has a basement. In my mid 20's... I had it all. A beautiful girlfriend, a high paying job, a sports car, my dream body... but I still ended up sitting on the edge of a bed debating suicide... several times. After my rock bottom moment, I went all in on self improvement, I was determined to overcome my anxiety, to overcome my depression. Years later, I host a podcast with hundreds of thousands of downloads in over a hundred countries, I've grown the podcast into a multi six-figure business and I've recorded over 700 episodes. I've given nearly 100 speeches and had the opportunity to do hundreds of coaching calls. The main thing that changed was ME. I focused on learning what I didn't know (and unlearning a lot too) and my life started to shift. It's my purpose to help other people get unstuck and get to the next level of their lives.

You want to skyrocket your sales? Listen up. Today I'm dropping the greatest sales hack of all time. I learned this at McDonald's when I was 15 years old working the drive-thru. The magical phrases? "Would you like fries with that?" and "Would you like to supersize it?" This is about the psychology of the upsell at the exact right moment - immediately after someone has already said yes to a purchase. The reason people don't buy from you is because you're not offering. And the reason you don't increase your sales is because you don't upsell after the transaction is already made. I tripled my sales at Geek Squad using this exact method. When a customer already says yes to one thing, they're primed to say yes again. Your job today is to figure out two things: what's your "would you like fries with that?" and what's your "would you like to supersize it?" Do this and watch your business explode.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

Disclaimer: This video was recorded in March of 2022.I had a killer conversation with Christa Hilton, the conservative single mom and entrepreneur behind Drunk Republic. We didn't get political. We got real. Christa started reading the entire CARES Act during COVID when her business consulting for small businesses had to shut down. What she discovered sent her down a rabbit hole of government waste, hidden spending, and ridiculous programs that American taxpayers unknowingly fund. We dove into the insanity of public school systems, why parents need to take back their power, and how Christa's approach to showing her son real life in Portland—drugs, homelessness and all—is creating a kid who thinks critically about everything. Christa shared how her 12-year-old son can already see through political BS on both sides. School choice, government spending, entrepreneurship, parenting—this conversation covers it all. Christa's podcast Drunk Politics is cutting through the noise and exposing what our government is really doing with our money. Go check her out on Instagram @thechristahilton and at drunkrepublic.co.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Krista: https://www.drunkrepublic.co/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Krista: Conservative single mom & entrepreneur still living in Portland, OR. Started a brand called Drunk Republic and a podcast called Drunk Politics (it's a play on words calling out how drunk on power our politicians are) out of a burning need to get fellow Americans to wake up to the madness that is perpetuating in our country and then do something about it. She's been invited onto Newsmax multiple times talking about HOW conservatives can get involved in starting to take back their cities, especially the very liberal ones, as well as how she is raising her son with conservative values having pulled him out of the public school system to homeschool him while going on a cross country roadtrip before putting him in a small Christian private school.

In this episode, I break down the right ways to support someone who's going through tough times. Most people jump straight to giving advice or trying to fix things, which usually backfires. I share six specific strategies that will actually help someone feel supported rather than minimized or dismissed. From asking the simple question "How can I support you right now?" to avoiding those bullshit phrases like "everything happens for a reason," these tactics will preserve your energy while genuinely helping others. I also explain why validating someone's perspective is crucial and how practical actions like sending dinner can mean more than words. These methods aren't just about supporting others better—they're about building deeper connections that feel good for everyone involved.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

I sat down with keynote speaker, elite athlete, and two-time Big 10 championship winning coach Brandon Burns for a conversation that went deeper than I expected. Brandon shared his journey from a small-town kid in Alabama to walking onto the University of Michigan gymnastics team, getting cut four times in five years, and then becoming a coach for the very team that cut him. We dove into what makes a great coach versus a great performer, and why some people are naturally better at zooming out to see the bigger picture while others excel at direct execution. Brandon opened up about growing up with financial stress, overcoming a victim mindset, and transforming childhood trauma into drive. His insights on authenticity in leadership and speaking hit hard – especially when he broke down how to connect with any audience by owning your full story. The wisdom Brandon dropped about taking those first steps toward change instead of waiting for divine intervention is something everyone needs to hear. This episode is packed with tactical advice for speakers, coaches, and anyone looking to level up their leadership and life.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Brandon: http://www.iambburns.com/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Brandon: Brandon Burns is an international keynote speaker, elite athlete, viral influencer with over 50 million views on social media, 2x B1G Ten Championship-Winning Coach; serial entrepreneur; and right-hand man to the world's #1 motivational speaker - Dr. Eric Thomas. After experiencing various mental health battles, financial lack, and family trauma during his childhood, Brandon was able to overcome his victim mindset to succeed in school and walk-on to the men's gymnastics team at the University of Michigan. However - his athletic dreams came to a screeching halt after being cut from the team 4 times in 5 years. After years of perseverance & self-discovery, Brandon's journey eventually allowed him to go from “cut to coach” - becoming one of the industry's top speakers and strategic performance coaches, as well as a successful entrepreneur.

I'm breaking down the only three rules of success in business today. Forget all those "10 commandments" or "5 steps" to success that other gurus pitch. Rule #1: Focus on quality, not price. When you deliver incredible quality, price becomes secondary in your customers' minds. People will figure out how to pay for something if the quality is worth it. Rule #2: Focus on revenue generation, not costs. So many business owners get this backward. While everyone else was cutting costs during the pandemic, I pushed forward with growth and acquisitions. Your job is to put more numbers on the board. Rule #3: Just do rules #1 and #2 consistently. It's that simple. When you focus on these fundamentals, your bank account grows, relationships flourish, and all the small stuff works itself out. The outcome is what matters - deliver that, and everything else falls into place.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this epic reunion episode, I brought back one of my earliest guests, Alex Montros, to talk about his journey since selling his company and his current passion for intentional fatherhood. We dive into how Alex and his wife built their business with clear boundaries around their marriage, making a non-negotiable commitment that if the business threatened their relationship, they would cut the business no matter how profitable. Alex shares his powerful transition from business leadership to family leadership, revealing the structure of their weekly family meetings and how intentionality becomes a muscle that must be consistently exercised. Having gone through painful divorces before meeting each other, Alex and his wife created a framework for family leadership that's resulted in thriving kids and a stronger marriage.

In this episode, I dive into the critical elements of maintaining inner peace during relationship conflicts. I break down why being the first to make a move is so powerful, and how your ego is the only thing standing between you and resolution. It's about having the courage to be the first to apologize (the bravest), the first to forgive (the strongest), and the first to forget (the happiest). These three elements create a formula for eliminating distance when you're in a standoff with someone you love. I challenge you to consider what's more important - your pride or your relationship?

The pain of staying the same has to get worse than the pain of change. This is truth. This is fact. When you're looking at why you can't change or why you tolerate situations that hurt you, the answer is simple - it doesn't hurt enough yet. Most people see change as this massive painful thing without realizing the pain they're currently in is infinite while the pain of change is temporary. Your choice to stay where you're at right now is allowing the hurt to continue forever. The pain of change? That's just a blink in time. A month. A year. It ends. Then you're free. When you visualize staying in the exact same place years from now, feeling the exact same way, missing out on who you were called to be - that's the true travesty. Turn up the heat on your pain. What you do not hate, you will tolerate. Start hating where you're at right now and you'll finally cross that threshold where real change happens.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

Psychology has a lot to say about how we think and why we do the things we do. In this episode, I dive into powerful psychological principles that can completely change your life when applied. I break down why oversharing drains your power, how taking things personally holds you back, and why your focus determines your reality.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about a recent challenging period that tested my mental fortitude while preparing for Reach Out's public offering. For about a month, between mid-February and mid-March, I experienced intense pressure that made my dreams seem distant and foggy. I share how asking myself "What's one thing I can do today?" became my lifeline during this time of uncertainty. The fog started to clear as I celebrated small wins and gained momentum, leading to a profound moment of clarity where I realized "Yesterday was the end of everything, today is the beginning of what's happening now." I also reveal a touching story about receiving a "Billionaire in the Making" shirt from my board member Darren Jackson, and how rediscovering it reminded me of my purpose and the importance of believing in your dreams even when they seem impossible.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this fired-up episode, I dive deep into the concept of "just f*cking start" - the radical idea that waiting for perfect conditions is just procrastination in disguise. I share personal stories from building my cybersecurity company 12 years ago when I had nothing but determination, including being 90 days behind on my mortgage while still investing in an iPad for my business image. Looking back at almost 300 episodes of this podcast and the incredible opportunities now coming my way, I reflect on how the dream only stops when the dreamer stops dreaming. I emphasize that starting something meaningful is always going to be difficult, whether it's fitness, business, or pursuing personal goals - but the key is to push through until you reach the point where you can't stop because you're in the rhythm. My message to you is clear: let go of regrets, excuses, and baggage - they're just reasons not to move forward. The time to start is NOW.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

In this episode, I dive deep with Dr. Darshan Shah - a surgeon who became a doctor at just 21 years old and recently transitioned to longevity medicine after 30 years in surgery. We talk about the incredible speed of innovation happening in healthcare and how AI is already performing surgeries that used to require human doctors. Dr. Shah shares his passion for transforming medicine from the reactive "whack-a-mole" approach of treating diseases to a proactive system focused on cellular health and prevention. He breaks down the four critical components for extending your healthspan - building muscle mass through consistent strength training, improving your V02 max, preventing heart attacks through proactive screening, and maintaining good metabolic health to avoid diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes. This episode reveals how medical knowledge has advanced more in the last five years than in the previous 150 years combined, and how personalized AI healthcare tools will soon revolutionize how we approach wellness.We Meet: Dr. Darshan Shah, CEO of NEXT Health and Vitaboom, Host of the Extend PodcastConnect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Darsha: www.drshah.com Universal Rate & Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/allinwithrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Darshan: Dr. Shah graduated from the accelerated 6-year MD/BS program at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and earned his medical degree at the age of 21, becoming one of the youngest physicians in the country.

In this episode of ALL IN, I dive into a question I get asked all the time – what's the best age to give your kids a phone? I share my unconventional approach of giving all my kids their first iPhone at age 7 and the reasoning behind this decision. Initially, it was about safety and communication when they traveled alone to meet me on business trips, creating special one-on-one moments like visiting the Kennedy Space Center with my son or taking my daughter to see the dolphins at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. But the unexpected benefit has been the incredible memories captured from their perspective – videos and photos I never would have seen otherwise, giving me insight into their world. I address the judgment I've received from other parents and explain my philosophy of exposing kids to technology early in a controlled environment while maintaining important boundaries (like no devices at the dinner table and open-door policies for video calls with the opposite sex). Ultimately, this approach has helped my kids develop a healthy, mature relationship with technology that many adults still struggle with today.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

I sat down with Monique Helstrom, a specialized recruiter and coach who focuses on the relationship between executives and their assistants. As Simon Sinek's former "Chief of Simon," Monique brings incredible insight into how high-performance individuals can build powerful partnerships with their EAs. We dive into the misconceptions about AI replacing EAs, why most executives don't know how to properly utilize their assistants, and the real role of an EA as the "builder" to the executive's "architect." Monique talks candidly about how ego often gets in the way of these relationships, the importance of vulnerability from both sides, and why an EA isn't just someone who manages your calendar but a strategic partner who can anticipate your needs and make your vision come true. If you're an executive struggling to find the right EA or an assistant looking to level up your game, this conversation is essential listening.We Meet: Monique Helstorm, On Point Inc.

I picked up some pizzas the other day and left a tip on the carry-out order. The owner was surprised, wearing a Rolex, telling me I didn't need to tip. But I wanted to show appreciation for his team working hard on my food. This is something I do everywhere – donut shops, Crumbl Cookie, even on phone calls with customer service reps at Chase Bank. I challenge you to put yourself in the shoes of service workers because everyone is serving someone. When you're genuinely grateful and show it, your entire outlook shifts. Your life attracts good things. It blows my mind that some people get annoyed at the tip screen on tablets. Those people are missing something important in life. And here's a bonus for you – when you're the service provider, don't bribe clients before the deal with gifts. Get down to business first, earn their respect, then show gratitude after they've signed. Be gratuitous in everything you do and watch your life explode with positivity.

In this episode, I sit down with Tanner Kim and Sean Croker, two college seniors from the University of Tennessee who founded The League of Angels, a baseball program for kids with special needs. What started as a small weekend event for 30 people has exploded to serving nearly 900 individuals in just one year. These young entrepreneurs share how they balance college life, future career plans, and running a nonprofit while living on "the Lord's timing." Tanner reveals the moment in church when he felt called to start this organization despite having no prior connection to the special needs community, and Sean explains how a coffee meeting turned into a life-changing partnership. They share powerful stories about watching participants hit their first home runs and seeing volunteers' perspectives completely transformed. We also dig into the challenges of fundraising, the pressure young people face to have everything figured out, and how to move forward in faith while actively pursuing your calling. This conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone questioning their next steps or looking to make an impact, regardless of their experience or resources.We Meet: Tanner Kim, Founder of League of Angels & Sean Croker, Operations and Community Builder Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Tanner & Sean: https://www.theleagueofangels.org/ Sean's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seancroker/?hl=enTanner's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tkim42/?hl=enLeague of Angels Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFYi36kvTnt/?hl=enSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINBackgrounds:About Tanner Kim:I started discovering my love for baseball at the age of 4 years old. Through the years, I have had the privilege of traveling all around the country to play the game that has given back to me in so many ways. In high school, I was recruited to play for the University of Kentucky. After two seasons, I decided to part ways with the team and school due to unforeseen circumstances out of my control. I then returned home to Knoxville, TN, and decided to hang up my cleats and enrolled at the University of Tennessee as a full-time student. Shortly thereafter, I felt a strong calling to refocus my baseball talents and start a baseball foundation for individuals with special needs while attending my junior year...and this is where the "League of Angels" was born. I wanted to give back and share the game I love with people who may not have had the same opportunities I was blessed with. God has not only given me the gift of baseball, but also the passion, vision and drive to bring joy and hope to special needs families. I'm thrilled and honored to bring the joy of baseball to anyone who wants to join me on this amazing journey. About Sean Croker:I'm thrilled to be part of the League of Angels team! I enjoy being involved in our community and reminding our angels that they have a place in which they belong as well. I love meeting new people and creating valuable memories together.About the League of Angels:Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, the League of Angels is more than just playing the game of baseball...it's about changing lives through the love of the game. We believe that everyone deserves to experience the joy of playing baseball, regardless of their abilities. Our events provide a safe, inclusive environment where having fun is what it's all about.

Feeling stuck can be frustrating, especially when motivation seems to come and go without warning. It's easy to fall into patterns of procrastination or doubt, making even small steps forward feel impossible. The real struggle isn't just about finding motivation—it's about creating momentum, even when you don't feel like it. Progress comes from showing up consistently, shifting focus from perfection to action, and reminding yourself why you started in the first place.

In today's episode, I'm diving into something we all struggle with—over-explaining ourselves and managing other people's emotions. We've all been there, right? Trying to justify our decisions, explain ourselves to everyone, and constantly think we need to make sure people see us in a good light. But here's the truth—that's a drain. You don't need to explain every move, especially when you're doing it out of good intentions. Instead, learn to distinguish who deserves your energy, your explanations, and your answers. This episode is about freeing yourself from people-pleasing and saving your energy for what really matters—being the best version of yourself.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

I tackle the destructive pattern of blaming others and even yourself, which keeps you stuck in victim mode instead of moving forward. Here's the truth - placing blame and making excuses anchors you in the past, in things you can't change. But practicing acceptance? That's your path forward.

He discusses the significance of cybersecurity for businesses of all sizes and emphasises the importance of bridging the gap between enterprise-level protection and small business needs. The episode also touches on Rick's experience advising the White House on innovative technology to combat human trafficking, highlighting the intersection of technology and human issues KEY TAKEAWAYS The journey of taking a business public is often grueling and emotionally taxing, requiring significant resilience and adaptability. Plans may change, but a clear purpose can guide entrepreneurs through challenges. There is a significant gap in cybersecurity services between large enterprises and small businesses. The goal is to make cybersecurity accessible and affordable for all businesses, ensuring that even small companies can protect themselves against cyber threats. Establishing a strong presence on social media and in the media requires both genuine engagement and strategic investments. Sponsorships, collaborations, and paid exposure can significantly enhance visibility and credibility. Failure or setbacks, such as not securing a deal with the government, can provide valuable lessons and open new doors. Embracing these experiences as learning opportunities is crucial for personal and professional growth. BEST MOMENTS "If you're not keeping track of how you're doing, there's no way to potentially win." "Going through it is gruelling. It is very emotionally taxing. It is very much a test of your own resilience." "It's not a matter of if, it's when... there's no completely secure way of protecting something 100%." "I want to help. I see people who are... probably because of some decisions that they made." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

We dive into what it really means to embrace vulnerability and confront ego head-on. You'll hear how Nick turned fear into fuel, tackled nearly 100 Spartan Races, and reframed his mindset to achieve what most people would call impossible.This isn't just another feel good story, it's a wake up call to stop letting fear hold you back.

In this high-energy episode of ALL IN, I dive deep into the three critical decisions that shape every aspect of your life. I break down how both macro and micro decisions compound to create your reality, from the daily choices about what to focus on, to the powerful meaning we give to life's events. I share personal stories about dealing with haters and why the meaning we assign to these encounters can transform our entire experience. The episode culminates in addressing the decision's evil twin - indecision - and why making mistakes is actually a sign you're on the right path. I reveal my personal mantra of "calm, confidence, never hesitate" and explain why going 127-92 in life is better than staying paralyzed by the fear of failure. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone stuck in analysis paralysis or waiting for the perfect moment to act.

In this powerful episode of ALL IN, I sat down with veteran land developer Cody Bjugan for a raw and honest conversation about legacy. We dive deep into what it truly means to leave behind something meaningful, beyond just financial success. Cody vulnerably shares his journey from being financially successful but personally empty in his 20s, to discovering what really matters. He breaks down his powerful LEGACY framework - from Lasting Faith to Your health - and explains why money should be viewed as a tool rather than a measure of success. We explore the difference between temporary happiness and true fulfillment, discuss the importance of genuine relationships, and challenge the common misconceptions about what makes a legacy worth leaving. This conversation gets real about the responsibility we have to use our gifts until our last breath and what it means to create a legacy we can truly be proud of.We Meet: Cody Bjugan, Raw Land DevelopmentConnect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Cody: http://www.codybjugan.com/ Universal Rate & Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/allinwithrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Cody: Cody Bjugan is a seasoned real estate developer who is a key player in development projects across the country.

In this raw and real episode, I dive into why success often attracts hate, especially from those closest to you. Drawing from my own experiences with viral media appearances and speaking at NASDAQ, I break down why people turn into haters when they see others accelerating past them. Instead of following typical advice about "stepping over haters," I reveal why compassion is actually your most powerful weapon against hate. When you understand that hate comes from hurt, you gain the power to not just rise above it, but to potentially transform those haters into supporters. This episode gives you the real tools to handle criticism, judgment, and hate while staying focused on your growth.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN
