    S2:Episode 22 Generational Family History of Prostate Cancer
    2025/11/29
    Dr. Jordan Smith, host of the "Teach Lead and Expire" podcast, shares a deeply personal and candid account of his decades-long battle with prostate cancer, using his experience to highlight the critical importance of proactive screening and lifestyle changes, especially for men with a family history of the disease. Main Topic: Dr. Smith's journey through prostate cancer, from early abnormal PSA levels to diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, serves as a powerful call to action for men to prioritize their prostate health and get screened regularly. Key Arguments and Events: Generational Risk: Dr. Smith was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2023 at age 68 (nearly 69). He realized his father, brother, and maternal grandfather all had prostate cancer, with his father and grandfather dying from it, indicating a strong family predisposition he initially ignored. Early PSA and Biopsy Experiences: Began PSA testing at age 50, with consistently elevated (above 3.2, often 6-10) but "normal" PSA for 15 years, often dismissed or attributed to other factors like sexual activity. Underwent his first prostate biopsy early in his teaching career (around age 50/51). He described the procedure as extremely painful and embarrassing, involving 12 tissue samples. Suffered significant post-biopsy bleeding (urine, semen) for 4-5 weeks, which created psychological stress and logistical challenges in a shared public high school bathroom. The initial biopsy results were "abnormal" but not cancerous, leading to a false sense of security and a lack of proactive discussion with doctors about prevention. Prioritizing Work Over Health: Due to financial needs (supporting extended family, master's degree for teaching qualification under "No Child Left Behind") and professional commitment, Dr. Smith repeatedly delayed addressing his health issues. He scheduled subsequent biopsies (six total over 15 years) during school breaks to avoid missing work, enduring pain and embarrassment. Compounding Health Issues & Caregiving: Stress from work, family responsibilities, and financial pressures led to increased alcohol consumption, weight gain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and unexplained numbness in his legs and hands. He also became a full-time caregiver for his wife, who was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer (2017-2019), leading to extreme sleep deprivation and witnessing the devastating effects of metastasized cancer. Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Decision: His persistent leg numbness prompted him to demand an MRI, which finally revealed a lesion on his prostate. An ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed Stage 1 prostate cancer with a Gleason score of six. Presented with options (prostatectomy, radiation beads, external radiation), he initially chose "watchful waiting" again, driven by his dedication to his students. A turning point occurred when a community friend was diagnosed with metastasized prostate cancer, triggering memories of his wife's illness. This spurred him to choose external radiation therapy. Radiation involved a painful procedure to implant markers for targeted treatment and was conducted secretly during the summer. Post-Treatment Complications and Additional Surgery: Radiation successfully lowered his PSA, but he later developed severe urinary issues, including splitting urine streams and passing hundreds of uric acid "pebbles" from his bladder. Emergency consultation with a new urologist led to a CT scan and eventually a cystoscopy, which revealed his bladder was filled with uric acid stones, requiring surgery. He underwent a laser procedure to break up the stones and a TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) procedure to relieve pressure on his urethra due to an enlarged prostate. Recovery from this surgery was also painful, involving a catheter and prolonged bleeding, forcing him to take emergency leave. Transformative Lifestyle Changes and Current Health: Inspired by his experiences, Dr. Smith retired from teaching and committed to radical lifestyle changes: daily cardio and strength training, increased water intake (72 oz/day), improved diet, and a regimen of nutritional supplements (Melaleuca Peak Performance Pack, Prostavan for prostate, Vigor for testosterone). These changes have led to remarkable health improvements: PSA down to 0.1, blood pressure 115/64, resting heart rate 55. He also prioritizes skin care and general well-being. Urgent Call to Action: Dr. Smith passionately urges all men, especially those with a family history of prostate cancer, to get annual PSA tests, starting before age 40 if there's a history. He emphasizes that testing can be affordable ($50-60) even without full insurance, and can prevent years of pain, suffering, and potential loss of life. He specifically addresses his sons and grandsons, urging them to get tested. Future Discussions: He hints at upcoming episodes focusing on his journey with PTSD and strategies for achieving better sleep,...

    S2:Episode 21 - Why I Have Been A Wellness Customer Since 1991
    2025/11/29
    Dr. Jordan Smith, a long-time Melaleuca customer since 1991, explains his unwavering loyalty to the company, focusing on how its products have positively impacted his health and finances. He challenges the notion that Melaleuca is expensive by distinguishing between "price" (what you pay) and "cost" (what it takes from you), asserting that cheaper, toxic store brands ultimately cost more in health and well-being. Main Thesis: Melaleuca offers superior, non-toxic products that provide significant health benefits and long-term financial savings, making it a "priceless" choice for a healthier, safer home, especially when compared to the hidden costs of conventional products. Key Arguments and Benefits: Personal Health Transformation (Initial Motivation): Post-Gulf War Health Decline: After returning from the first Gulf War, Dr. Smith experienced severe sinus issues, skin reactions, and sensitivities triggered by common household products (e.g., Dawn, Tide, Febreze), which he later linked to burn pit exposure and chemical toxins. Melaleuca as a Solution: In 1991, he discovered Melaleuca products, which were the first in years that did not trigger his immune system. His breathing improved, sinuses calmed, and skin cleared, making his home feel safe again. Long-Term Health Improvements: He attributes ongoing benefits—less inflammation, better nighttime breathing, fewer sinus flare-ups, improved skin, consistent energy, better sleep, and support during prostate cancer recovery and PTSD management—to Melaleuca's cleaners, lotions, vitamins, and supplements. Price vs. Cost Philosophy: "A cheap product with toxins or toxic ingredients is the most expensive thing in your home." The true "cost" of cheap products includes health deterioration, energy drain, lost sleep, doctor's visits, and unexplainable reactions. Melaleuca, by contrast, "stopped costing" him, leading to health improvements and ultimately saving him money by reducing health-related expenses. Comprehensive Savings and Rewards System: Melaleuca Rewards Visa Card: Earns up to 6% cashback on Melaleuca purchases, 4% on gas, groceries, and dining, and 2% on all other purchases, deposited as loyalty shopping dollars. Loyalty Shopping Dollars: Dr. Smith earns over $1,000 annually in loyalty shopping dollars from purchases, not selling or recruiting, simply by redirecting his spending. Cost Per Use Efficiency: Melaleuca products like dish soap (Lemon Brite) offer up to 500 uses per bottle compared to 150-180 for competitors, making them cheaper, safer, and longer-lasting. Similar efficiency applies to laundry packs, cleaning concentrates, and personal care items. New Member Value Packs: Exclusive, heavily discounted bundles for new customers (e.g., Home Conversion Pack saves $200) allow sampling various products and can be tax-deductible for certain individuals. "Hacks" for Maximizing Rewards: Ordering over 44 "points" per month to receive a $10.42 credit. Participating in "Learn to Earn" videos to receive coupons and shopping dollars. Leveraging the Melaleuca Deals app for local savings on travel, dining, and entertainment. Shopping through Melaleuca's Retail Partners (e.g., Old Navy) for additional cashback into the loyalty account. Switching Services: Switched from ADT to Melaleuca's home security (saving $25/month) and from Norton to InfoGuard, demonstrating more ways to save by utilizing Melaleuca's ecosystem. Specific Product Highlights & Personal Testimonials: Peak Performance Packs: Comprehensive AM/PM supplement bundles tailored for specific health needs (longevity, heart, brain, women, glucose support, weight management). Dr. Smith personally uses the longevity pack for men 50+, citing significant savings ($151.79) compared to buying individual supplements. He provides personal data showing improved testosterone and cholesterol levels. Vigor FT & Omega-3 Supplements: Used for testosterone and cholesterol management, respectively, with positive personal results. Fiberwise Drink: Successfully resolved severe constipation issues for himself and his partner, emphasizing the importance of gut health. Cleaning Products: Biodegradable and safe, providing peace of mind for allergy sufferers and families with children. Sei Bella Skincare: Positioned as premium, skin-safe, zero-disruptor, zero-fragrance, zero-irritant skincare that is 30-40% cheaper per use than most department store brands. Commitment and Guarantee: Dr. Smith views Melaleuca as a "total wellness program" and "preventive medicine." The company offers an "empty bottle guarantee," allowing returns within 90 days if a product doesn't meet expectations, including a 90-day challenge for Peak Performance packs. Conclusion: Dr. Smith reiterates that his 34-year loyalty stems from the "priceless" value Melaleuca offers: a safe home, a chance to heal, and a way to live better without spending more, ultimately fostering a healthier life at a lower cost through ...

    S2-Episode 20 - Music Production Secrets
    2025/11/09
    This transcript features Dr. Jordan Smith and Jordan III, discussing a range of topics from personal technology and teaching experiences to detailed insights into music production, book publishing, and a new venture aimed at tackling student loan debt. The core theme revolves around building a "generational wealth machine" through various entrepreneurial endeavors and mentorship. Here's a breakdown of the key points: I. Podcast Introduction & Personal Anecdotes: The podcast, "Two Generations, One Mission," features a Marine Corps dad (Dr. Jordan Smith) and his Army veteran son (Jordan III) discussing life, legacy, and leadership. Initial conversation includes lighthearted discussions about iPhone models (titanium vs. aluminum cases), the surprising number of photos stored on phones (Dr. Smith with 13,000, Jordan III with 3,000), and the benefits of a teacher's schedule (long holidays and summer breaks) which Dr. Smith valued while raising his children. II. Music Production Insights: Journey to Original Music: Dr. Smith initially used karaoke tracks for singing but realized the legal complexities and costs associated with licensing cover songs. Legal & Licensing: ASCAP: Essential for live performances of cover songs and receiving royalties for original renditions. Cover Song Licenses (e.g., Harry Fox Agency/Songbank): Required to legally record and distribute another artist's song, ensuring the original creators receive their cut. Critique of Cover Songs: Jordan III humorously criticizes Taylor Swift's cover of Earth, Wind & Fire's "September," calling it the "audible epitome of putting raisins in potato salad." Finding Original Material: Dr. Smith moved to platforms like Rocket Songs, where composers sell unpicked-up songs from major artists, often allowing for exclusive rights. AI Music Production: Discovered an AI music app (rhymes with "Juno") that allows for creating original songs. Learned to use the software by going through tutorials, leveraging his experience with AI and his vocal range. The app allows for crafting lyrics, adding musical elements (e.g., John Legend-style piano intro), and manipulating song structure (verse, chorus, bridge) which alters the accompanying music. It allows users to extend song length and split instrumental and vocal tracks. Cost Efficiency: A one-year license for the AI app was significantly cheaper ($200) than the $200-300 per song Dr. Smith previously paid for production. Distribution Process: Dr. Smith uses platforms like "Landar" to upload and distribute his songs. He self-masters tracks using equipment and software like WavePad (for noise reduction and dynamic compression) before uploading. Goals: Market songs on all streaming networks (Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music) to generate streams and income. His song "The Student Loan Trap" (registered with ASCAP and ISRC code) is an example. III. Book Publishing & "Shattered Chains": ChatGPT as an Assistant: Dr. Smith utilized ChatGPT (which he has trained over two and a half years with his writing style and existing books) to go from initial concept to a published book in seven days. "Shattered Chains": A book about student loan debt, specifically focusing on teachers and veterans, and the idea of young people realizing the long-term debt burden. Marketing & Reviews: Emphasizes that book sales are driven by reviews, and he leverages his experience (having done over 1200 book reviews in the past year) to generate reviews for his own work. Audiobooks: Acknowledges the shift towards audiobooks and plans to delegate audiobook production rather than doing it himself. IV. The "Generational Wealth Machine" & Student Loan Solution: Teach Lead Inspire App: Dr. Smith has developed an app and a "Debt-Free University" within it, offering various income streams and mentorship. Mentorship Programs: Book Publishing: Teaches how to publish a book on Amazon in seven days. Music Production: Mentors on the process of creating and distributing music. Course Structure: Each area is offered as a course with video lessons, and one-on-one coaching is available for an additional fee. Pricing: Pre-launch "founder" access (lifetime access, feedback opportunities, help setting up their own apps) is $997, increasing to $1497 and $1997 in subsequent weeks. Coaching is an additional $997. Student Loan Debt Program: Target Market: Primarily teachers and veterans struggling with student loans. Critique of Competitors: Student Loan Planner: Charges $595 for consultation, advises lowering payments (e.g., from $1000 to $200) and investing the difference for 25 years. Dr. Smith sees this as merely relocating money and potentially leading to commissions from financial products. Student Loan Tutor: Charges $150 for an initial interview, then $2500 for the first-year plan, and $600 annually to manage it, also focusing on lowering payments for a 25-year payoff. Dr. Smith expresses skepticism about the long-term ...
