This Is Jordan

 

Jordan (@jordan_gray_consulting) is a world class thought leader on the subject of sex and relationships. My past partner Jenn shared many of his blog posts and newsletters with me. We even watched parts of one of his courses together.

It was instantly clear to me that Jordan had both a passion and deep wisdom in many key areas when it comes to relationships.

When I finally got to work with Jordan, he shared that he has been passionate about this work since he was a child, before he even fully understood what adult relationships could be.

Jordan started professionally working as a coach, teacher and guide very early in his 20s. I remember my 20s, and I was in no place to give anyone dating or relationship advice. But at that age, Jordan’s frameworks and guidance helped many, and many more since then. And he has continue to grow his practice and his impact exponentially.

It was a great honour to spend quality time with Jordan in Vancouver during our photoshoot. I was so inspired by how much passion and love he still has for his craft, even after almost 20 years. His career is a masterclass in DEEP FOCUS.

It’s clear to me that Jordan is on a path that is fully aligned with his heart and his soul.

He’s doing such important work and also not losing himself in the work. This last part is important because it can ensure sustainability. So many of us are deeply passionate, but go far in our work too quickly, eventually burning out—a challenge I personally face. I noticed that Jordan’s energy was grounded, clear and energized. That’s impressive for someone who is 2 decades in on one topic.

I learned so much and felt so inspired by our time together. I can’t wait for our next hang.

Big love,

D
