Jordan was the focus of the most viral human interest story in the history of the internet. On a dare in 2014, he posted a simple message on Reddit offering anyone who shared the same name as his previous partner a leftover plane ticket for a trip around the world.
This simple deed of trying to pay it forward earned an unprecedented 4 billion media impressions, landing him on Good Morning America, CNN, BBC, ABC and 30,000 other press outlets globally.
However, the real story began when he ended up in a Hollywood cyclone of public and media pressure to fall in love with his new travel companion. This sent him into a downward spiral as he duked it out with media, often on camera, about how reality works.
Jordan set out on a mission to bring reality to the digital world. He focuses his time on helping people and organizations be raw. With a “Let’s cut the crap” approach, Jordan argues that imperfection is the gateway to profound breakthroughs, both personally and in business.
Jordan does consults with corporate clients on creating viral marketing strategies and is a keynote speaker focused on marketing strategy and personal development.
He is currently writing his first book, due out in mid-2017, about how technology encourages us to unwillingly fake who we are and what we want. And his life story is being turned into a Hollywood film, which he finds endlessly hilarious.
He lives in Toronto, Canada and Cincinnati, Ohio.
