What Happens When You Shoot Your Shot?

If you’ve ever wondered what could happen if you just went for it, this episode is for you.

We’re joined by Jordan Thomas, a rising star in the beauty industry who went from handing out sodas at a drive-thru to making six figures behind the chair by 22. Her story starts with a bold moment, a parked car, and a question that changed everything.

Jordan opens up about the emotional weight of supporting her mom through cancer, the internal battles of perfectionism and self-doubt, and the hustle it took to turn a dream into a career. From assisting Meg to hiring her own assistant, Jordan shares the real behind-the-scenes of what it takes to build a business, stay grounded, and grow through the hard stuff.

There’s wisdom here for anyone chasing a dream, navigating uncertainty, or wondering if they’re “enough.” You don’t want to miss this one.
