Jordan J. Mendoza is the host of the Blaze Your Own Trail Podcast, LinkedIn Influencer, and Sales & Marketing leader with 25+ years of experience.On the show, Jordan shares a touching story of how his mother overcame the odds stacked against her in life by being born with only one lung. Her will to survive and ultimately raise a family taught him lessons and gave him the perspective of what facing real adversity means.Jordan is a gifted storyteller and walks us through moments in his life that many would define as dealing with adversity, but he doesn’t. We hear the story of how he was falsely identified as a criminal while on his way to school as a kid, and how a near-death accident caused him to ask the “what if” question had things gone differently.Jordan explains how he charted his career in sales, leadership, and training. From his first job ever where he learned a tough lesson about how getting no’s equates to success, all the way to taking on a training leadership role before ever having actually done training.Jordan has a great energy about him and is incredibly likable which is why he amassed over 50k followers on LinkedIn. He’ll share how he did and why he believes a personal brand is so important.You can find Jordan:Company website: https://blazeyourowntrailconsulting.com/Personal website: https://jordanjmendoza.com/Podcast: https://www.byotpodcast.com/Social Media:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanjmendoza/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanjmendoza/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordanjmendozaSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=23010497) Learn more about your ad choices.
