9. The Courage to Pivot: Taking Risks as You Make Your Own Path with Angie Jordan

In this episode of "I'd Tell Myself," we sit down with Angie Jordan, a multifaceted entrepreneur who shares her dynamic journey through various industries, including retail, HR, and ultimately, podcast production and coaching. Angie's story is one of courage, adaptability, and the power of listening to life's nudges.

Angie candidly discusses her early career struggles, including her time in apparel design and her leap into retail management. She reflects on the valuable lessons learned from a mentor who taught her the importance of caring for people while maintaining structure and vision in leadership.

We delve into Angie's bold decision to quit her retail job on a subway platform, a moment that propelled her into the world of entrepreneurship. Despite the challenges and perceived mistakes, such as an unsuccessful online clothing store funded by her grandmother, Angie views these experiences as crucial steps in her growth.

Angie's venture into life coaching and podcasting began with a poolside epiphany, leading her to launch a successful podcast and coaching business simultaneously. She emphasizes the impact of her podcast, "Get Happy AF with Angie Jordan," which not only garnered a significant audience but also became a source of client acquisition for her coaching services.

Throughout the episode, Angie highlights the importance of understanding individual work styles and the need for personalization when helping clients launch their podcasts. Her approach to podcast production is informed by her life coaching skills, as she assists clients in overcoming the vulnerability and fear associated with sharing their stories.

Angie's entrepreneurial spirit is evident as she shares her philosophy on taking risks, embracing adventure, and the significance of community. Her journey is a testament to the idea that what may seem like mistakes are often valuable learning opportunities that shape our paths.

When asked what she’d tell her younger self Angie said "It's working. You're doing it. Keep being courageous. Keep taking risks. Keep following those nudges like we talked about. Keep putting yourself out there. Keep wanting more. Keep being open. Keep exploring. Keep learning”.

I hope you'll find something here to support you on your journey as Angie shares what she would tell herself from where she is today.

I also want to acknowledge that my perspective is one of privilege as a cis, hetero, white woman. While I make every effort to ensure I'm well informed beyond my bubble - I will make mistakes. It is never my intention to harm, and always my intention to repair and learn from mistakes I've made. While sometimes our mistakes are obvious, others need to be pointed out so that we can see and learn from them. I welcome your feedback on these issues and promise to do my best to be respectful, receptive and to continue learning from you.
